01-07-2007 21:28 by telboy	to kev george, i sold off a few fish today at shop where he works + he got me a major deal on em THANKS mate
01-07-2007 21:29 by tank busters	cheers tell anytime mate
01-07-2007 21:49 by sonia	lol took tank busters 1 min to pick this thread up
03-07-2007 23:22 by stuart	which fish did u sell?
04-07-2007 09:37 by chris east	yes cheers kev,thanks for the shovelnose,it only survived three days and passed on a disease to my other fish
04-07-2007 12:27 by netty d	aint that why they recommend quarantining new fish ?
04-07-2007 13:43 by chris east	how and where do you quarentine a 2 foot shovelnose ,and when you ask for either a credit note or money back from his boss ...the answer was no....now thats good customer relations and after care for a person who wants to make sure his own company has a good reputation for the past and for the future,i know what my future with this company will be
04-07-2007 16:12 by netty d	that's why i always ask "do you have a quarentee". Both shops i use have a seven day quarentee and tropicalfish4u (who i use) give a five day quarentee on survival. Won't cover your other fish, but then i only buy fish that i can quarentine for a couple of weeks. Sadly, we all live and learn (uaually the hard way)
04-07-2007 16:23 by telboy	well all i can say 1st sorry to hear ya lost ya fish chris,2nd all fish ive had from there have always been problem free, granted the shop is like an aquatic carboot but then again thats why its so cheap... most lfs i know only have a 24hr guarantee
04-07-2007 16:48 by chris east	thanks ,my lfs knows me well,and again ive taken dead fish back in after 5 days,this shovelnose was reported as being ill to the shop with in three days dont get me wrong im not here to blame or argue with kev ,we have traded fish privatly in the past ...its the owner of the shop who has no care or the welfare of the fish he is selling to the public,this fish cost me 60 quid, which in my terms is alot of money,i also lost a 26 inch red tail catfish,thanks for listening
05-07-2007 13:30 by Jessica	I think if your spending alot of money on large/new fish you should set up a way to quarantine? Especially if you do have other expensive fish. It's your job to make sure you quaranteen fish. Pet/Fish shops can't sell 100% healthy fish every single time, they can look healthy but not be, it's what happens in the pet trade. Defo think you should have made sure there was a guarantee. However, this should also be a policy for any pet shop (IMO) anyways.
05-07-2007 15:55 by giles	CHRIS I WENT IN THE SHOP YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A FEW WEEKS BACK NOW AND MANY OF THE TANKS HAD DISEASED FISH IN ,THEY WERE IN AN APALLING STATE AS WERE THE TANKS,A FREIND OF MINE WAS GOING DOWN THE NEXT DAY TO LOOK AND I WARNED HIM OFF,I CAN SEE WHY YOU ARE ANGRY AND BELEIVE YOU HAVE GOOD CAUSE TO BE,SOORY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR REDTAIL
05-07-2007 17:16 by chris east	thanks giles.
05-07-2007 21:26 by Linda Chenapa	I must say that the last time we went down there, there were sick, and even dead, fish in almost every tank. Yes is does look like an aquatic boot sale but that is no excuse for bad housekeeping.
06-07-2007 07:47 by chris east	thanks linda,aquatic boot sale does that mean you buy it,they take your money and they scarper....lol
11-07-2007 12:57 by k.o.d	Which shop is this please? Just so I know to avoid
12-07-2007 07:55 by chris east	hi k.o.d ,we all know who this shop is.its just not polite to name it.
