God Knows If This Is The Right Place

[antinator]

hi, i havent a clue where to post this so ill do it here as it seems the most generic, i am after some small tropical fish only ablout 1inch max in size, i live in bedford and there seems to be no memebers who live anywhere near me so please if you have any for sale lemme know

try a local aquatic shop, oddly enough they sell fish.

I'm think members would be slightly skeptical to sell you fish unless they know they are going to a good home. i.e. how big is the tank...is it properly cycled...what other fish are there...what fish you plan to add in the future...

 

[nurglespuss]

Yes...

perhaps on a friendlier more useful note:

Have you tried ebay, aquabid or similar, or indeed popping into your local fish store:

and see if they have any or will order you some small fish in.

They usually will, good small fish include endlers.

Hi antinator,

Why are you looking for 1 inch fish, specifically?

 

[antinator]

thanks for those with PROPER replys, no need to be smarmy when im new to owning fish,but yes my tank is fully cycled and i have a couple of danios, 2 mollies and they have been fine for 2 months now,i am just wondering who has some small fish for sale?......i need fish only 1" in size as i have a biorb

BIORB ALERT! Someone send around the fish tank police!

 

[antinator]

Comical

Cant think of anything other than a corner tank, i actually like the look for the biorb life tanks and i had a 45 litre one for a VERY short period of time then the biorb police came around and took it away from me and left a nice 4 foot one instead!

Have you checked the classified section on the forum? There is a "Wanted" forum if you cant find anyone selling livestock near you. Its your best bet at getting fish via this forum really. failing that, like i sarcastically mentioned before, local fish shops always good! and/or reputable people on eBay can be an option although you will have to cover postage at roughtly £12/£15 here in the UK.

1 inch fish:


pygmy cories
phoenix rasboras
endler's livebearers


shrimp....

 

[lilfishie]

What size Biorb is it?

Theres a few poeple on here that i know of local as i'm not overly far away

 

[StandbySetting]

Anything from the Boraras genus would be fine, my favourites are B.maculatus and B.briggitae.

Ember Tetra's, Green Neon Tetra's, Celstial pearl Danio's would all do fine.

 

[antinator]

its a 60l biorb, ive looked on ebay and found somebody down the road who sells knifetails( ithink thats what they are called) foir a quid each so ill be buying a few of those but any other help of where the people around bedford are on here would help
