31-10-2007 21:31 by drewie	just this second seen it at that price i might aswell have two !!!
31-10-2007 21:43 by Woz	while were on the subject of fish is anyone else getting sick of seeing red tailed catfish for sale!
31-10-2007 22:52 by drewie	yeah and they're never cheap they always seem to want silly money for them having said that it always amuses me when i see people trying to sell pacus that are already too large for all but the largest of tanks i suppose there's always a tropical pond but who would want one of those full of pacus ?
31-10-2007 23:54 by big cats	we are very often over charged in scotland for fish and i can understand why he might believe his arro is worth money, why dont you contact the guy and explain rather than poking fun, red tails are the same but if you dont want one skip the add ,i am not sure why adds are annoying you???? pacus are a nightmare no one wants them , not even big fishkeepers like me ,even public aquaria turn them away (they do taste good apparently but i am not sure i could)
01-11-2007 07:02 by Phill Austen	Thanks for that post big cats,It's so rare to see a constructive post on this forum. I understand that vastly more people read than contribute to the forum but the overall impression is that it is dominated by a minority of self righteous plonkers. IMHO.
01-11-2007 09:19 by Woz	perhaps i didnt explain myself enough, i believe the reason most people have their monster fish for sale is because they bought them thinking they wouldnt grow much when they clearly do, now, its hard to say whos to blame here but as a fishkeeper, its your responsibilty so ensure you can provide adequate conditions for your fish, assuming they WILL grow to adult size. I can say all day that fish stores should also play a part in your purphase, i.e telling you their maximum size amongst other requirements, obviously some stores will do this, but unfortunely not all.
01-11-2007 09:33 by big cats	got to agree ,type in red tail on ebay ,one guy from sheffeild selling an rtc says it will grow quite large AN OSCAR WILL GROW QUITE LARGE i have seen a red tail catfish at 5foot 6 inch with a head 15 inches wide thats more than quite large
01-11-2007 09:41 by drewie	i'm assuming that the minority of self righteous plonkers that phill austen refers to includes me well if thats the case excuse me for being constantly being amazed at the price tag that some people attach too their fish some people assume that because a fish is large it must be worth a lot but this isn't always the case and i'm in total agreement with woz fish shops should inform you of the needs and eventual adult size of fish but the buck does stop with the keeper if you don't know anything about a fish surely you should research it prior to buying it'll enable you to offer the fish the right size aquarium and water conditions and it'll also save you agro time and money
04-11-2007 00:13 by Jessica	£200 for a 2ft silver arrow is way to much guys..its a rediculous price. There's an MBU going for £300...
04-11-2007 01:41 by drewie	jessica it's not even 2ft it's 14 inches
04-11-2007 16:21 by tony	fish are more expensive in scotland why i dont no as they are all imported the same way and the same prices for import i get fish price list sent me every week and silver arows are sweet money
