I will look out for them and let you know.
If you are after a particular variety, the Goldfish Society of Great Britain is a good place to find them. I saw some very good short-finned shubunkins at their last meeting.

Telboy,

Is this the type of fish you are after? It is a London Shubunkin, same shape as the common Goldfish but with Shubunkin colouration. Loads of these around the shows and colour is getting better every year.

They are normally up for sale in the auctions at the various Specialist Goldfish Shows that take place up and down the country.

I was thinking the same, placed an advert in classifieds wanted, not one response.
Is anyone supplying apart from the show venues?

If anyone is after any of these type or of any other type drop me a line and I will probably be able to help, if I don't have them I generally know of some-one who does and can get them for you.

id be interested chris but i dont drive + you're in brum + im north london
