I'll have to check my rota but I may be free for this one and have some fundage for purchasing some stock. I'll know nearer the time. I'll get planning.
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...

Yeah I'm wishing I could afford a plane ticket too soulhugger! It would be great fun to meet you all and spend time in a Emmas' shop. Hope you will take pics and post them!

Hi everyone,

Wow! Not so mini, the more the merrier. :D
David, I will reserve all the fish you asked for in your PM. Very Happy
Thank you! :)
Are you sure about the 20th? It's a Friday. It's not impossible but does mean taking a day off work
Half term holiday, being a Friday i was worried not many will be able to make it. Wrong there. :lol: :D

Looking forward to hopefully meeting you all!

David

i would like to come, but as yet i am not sure if i can. it will have to be a last minute decision for me. if i make it i make it.

i have no money for fish buying, but emma has got a load of fish she has been tempting me with, so i need to go and see what to turn my 1 spare 2 foot tank into.

if i make it, remind me i need some silica glue stuff!

snap decision - as the person who needs to book time off (Palaeodave being a student can ponce about as he wishes) i will be there. i think some more rasbora are called for to beef up the shoal i have or perhaps some friends for the lone rasbora i brought home last time. .

see you then


:P

Hello, hello. What's going on? What's all this lying? We'll have no poncing here.

Go with the Rasbora ennealepis, Lee. Do you think you'll have any in at that point, Emma?

I aint forgotten all that Fish Mistress business yet, you know! :P

This meet up should be a good 'un. 8) Let's start a petition to make sure Hels turns up. She is flying back from New Zealand the day before, so we will have to ply her with cups of strong coffee. :wink:

Dave, I don't think we have many R. ennealepis left. I will check and let you (or Lee) know. We have plenty of other beautiful Rasboras in at the moment though, so there should be a good choice. I can probably get more R. ennealepis in if need be though.

I will apologise in advance if the big loach display tank isn't looking it's best. I am trying to wangle getting a fish system put in in it's place as due to the dimensions it is a nightmare of a tank to keep looking good and there is only so much money we can justify throwing at it. Not to mention I desperately need more room in the shop for more trops.

It's just that when Lee bought a group of R. dorsiocellata he ended up with one in there by accident, so wants to get it some company. It sort of schools with the others but also spends a lot of time on its own.
