Hi the returner,

to TFF,

Billy, would it not be cheaper to find a local fish shop/store ( LFS ) near where you live.

Check if there are any local fish societies/clubs in your area. When you join you will usually find they have members that breed allsorts of fish and they will be only too willing to help, not to mention the wealth of information you'll gleam from them,This is how I started in the hobby some 25 years ago.

Try and do a search on google or any other search engine Billy, but it doesn't always find what your looking for.

Depends on your actual location, lets know and I''ll try to find out whats still running. I was a member of Bradford and District until I moved back home to Northern Ireland.
