She has recoverd 110% and plus she has a 55gal tank to herself at present so she couldn't be better.
I would like £15 for her. |

For your shopping list:
Test Kits for:
PH
GH
KH
Nitrates
For buffering and hardening if required:
Bicarbonate of Soda
Epsom Salts
I also use Rift Valley Chiclid salts but when it runs out I will go over to the liquid Chiclid Essentials, its easier to disolve
Food:
Good quality but depends on the type of malawi's you intend to keeps, Mbuna or Haps ?

panasiuk if u are going to buy the above test kits dont buy it from woodford aquatics it is a total rip off. i bought a buffer of them for 9.99 and then i went to whosale tropicals and the same buffer was 5.99 |

|
Bicarb & Epson salts for buffering, a couple of quid tops |

I was planning on going to Amwell Aquatics in Epping. Its about 20 mins away from me.
Out of intrest what would you say is the best fish shop in this area without going too far into London? |

PS.
I think I will buy meself a new master test kit that covers everything. |

if u go up crews hill if its not to far they have many fish shops try and go to maidenhead aquatics. they should be alot cheaper than woodford aquatics. |
14-03-2006 21:04 by sam
|
there fish are a hell of alot cheaper than woodford aquatics and they sell malawis of all sizes. |
14-03-2006 21:05 by MC
|
Check out the master test kit first, very few have GH & KH tests and mainly contain low range PH which is no good for what you will want |

|
Crews hill... I go up there quite alot. Im trying to think what one is maidenhead aquatics. |

its the one in the garden center joe they have a huge malawis tank on display massive fish in there. |
14-03-2006 21:34 by Panasiuk
|
I think I know. You have to walk into the garden center and there is a small cafe on your left and then if you walk right to the back there is a big fish shop. |
