Very interesting link there Danny.
I like the tench (reminds me of old fishing days) and the specimen carp at the bottom of the page. Interesting how there are fast growing variants. Apparently these carp were both hatched on the same day:

those guys at slf say ion the siter that you need a minimum order of £100 before they will deal with you.. they must be making too much money or something... |

yeah I know, that would probably fill my pond as long as i took all the water out of it!!!! Still I did call them and they said that they would ask one of the staff incase they knew of anyone, so it's a start Danny but thanks for the suggestion mate. Neil |
