just to give loachy people the nod, my mate Neil just phoned me to tell me of a shipment thats coming in, in about 2 weeks time.
large B striata with unusual patterns plus M guntheri and triangularis both these are coming in at a decent size.
but knowing my mate there's gonna be a few collectables coming that he did'nt mention.
also soon is the Catfish convention where Kamphol will be doing a talk on loaches, so any of you lot that fancy a visit we could meet up at Neils to do a mini north loachy natter.
just let me know and i'll be there.

ps, there's a 5 inch striata coming and thats mine. hehe
Ash if your about, Neils got a few pangios mixed in with normals so give him a bell about them.

Hmmm
Technical question..
Whats a "Jammy Sod"?
