Oh no. Not Aquabid. I only just bought 3 boys from there (due to arrive today, am nervous) and spent an arm and part of a leg getting them express shipped to me. )
Thank everyone. It's a same that dad's gone, but he's probably better off. He was really sick during the last month he was around. He had some sort of fungus in his lungs. And had shingles. It was kind of expected sooner or later.
I can't wait until the copper gets here. Now I need to find a name for him. Something like steel, I already have a horse named Magnum so I can't use that name.
Big warning and harsh lesson folks. I used 48 hour post for them but they were sent on a Saturday and didn't get here til Tuesday. Yes, all three had died from the cold. I felt awful. Wait until the warm weather is here and wait until holiday seasons have past. No Xmas or Easter stuff around. And ship on a Monday!! Those poor fish suffered and died because of me not waiting a few months until it was safer and warmer. Yes there are sellers that will sell to the UK. And it really isn't hard. My seller has given me credit for the loss of these poor creatures but I should never have tried in winter near Xmas. Please don't make the same mistake.
Hugs,
P.
