Will be there tomorrow, as I had a little re-scape of my main tank, and need some plants to finish the job. I have instructions from my girlfriend NOT to buy any more fish as I have too many tanks already! She'll be at work, so I will be there unsupervised

what are the prices like for discus compared to the uk ?

OMG. No comparison. Depending on the strain and quality. Adult 5-6 inch fish range from about 8 quid up to 40 quid for the highest grade. If you want smaller 3-4 inch fish they are about 2 quid each!

Reading that actually made me puke a we bit into my mouth

Oh man..... im so gutted.....

I'd guess it is about 10 feet long, 4 feet wide and 3 feet deep. The Black Tip Sharks are 2-3 foot long and 100 quid each

I'd love one of those tanks! I've been diving with a ton of 6 foot black tips before, it was cool they were hovering all around this hole we were diving into along with tons of nurse sharks and Caribbean reef sharks. Pretty awesome though!

That must have been well cool

You could build a Franz Sanchez, Bond Villain style shark tank with a trap door......."No Mr Bond, I expect you to die!"

Or was that Gold Finger???

It has been brewing in the back of my mind for a while mate. I was surprised how few fish from here get exported to Europe, as most head to Japan(a bit closer). I might take a serious look at it next year. Will give you a shout, and this time next year "we will be millionaires Rodney!"

Sounds cunning.

Quite possibly as cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University!
