I went to Maidenhead Aquatics @ Swindon (Noth) at the weekend and they had a tank labelled for Celebes Halfbeaks.....but they'd sold them all. Doh! I'll keep...
This is a good reason why a forum would be a good addition to the BLA website. Pictures of you're build and breeding fish would be great. Everyone likes seeing...
Hi Graham, Too bad you couldn't get some! A quick review of the Tropical Fish Finder web site suggested a few other places that should have Nomorhamphus liemi...

Hi Graham/Neale I know a breeder whos gots lots of fry/juveniles in South London...You can get hold of anything if you go down the breeder route and ask around...
Hi Tim, I'm surprised you've haven't been able to find stuff using TFF. To be fair, it's not really oriented for people shopping for (relatively) obscure...
It seems to work well for those species that make good community fish but are less well known/recently discovered, such as the new danio/devario species which...
Hi Graham, This is easily explained. I write most of these, so what you're reading is something about the shop I last went to! Since my orbit is around London,...
Graham, The TFF database is updated all the time, and I've personally written detailed species profiles for several thousand (!!!) freshwater and saltwater...
Hi John, Thanks for the info on the air pump. I wont be at the guppy weekend but am planning to go to the march auction. On the subject of half beaks Living...

Ah, those would be Nomorhamphus liemi. They have a distinctive recurved beak, often likened to a goatee. Lovely fish, the females can become absolutely...
Hi Neale AS i said TFF is purely a SHOP site,with reviews written by PAID people..... so its commercial. i suppose it all depends on what YOU class as rare !...
Hi Tim, Almost all of what I write is based on personal experience. At times this has caused friction with other hobbyists. With pufferfish for example, I was...
Hi Tim, Whilst I am paid by TFF, that doesn't mean that I butter up retailers. If you look at what I write for the species entries in the database, or in the...
I have been breeding fish a long time & the hardest part is selling them to new retail shops. I went to one shop last year & the fish he just had in (from a...
Hi Neale You know this is a pet hate of mine and so many other Hobbyists ,namely people writing articles in the aquatic press and on aquatic websites about...
I have to agree, My changing a tire o a vehicle doesn't make me a mechanic or technician. But, I do try to read all related books, articles etc covering the...
In the ''70's we had a problem called guppy rot with imported guppies. Basically stress of packing & transportation & being put into totally different (ie not...
I'm hoping to get to the Guppy show on Sunday only. If anyone wants foods or things off the site please let me know & I will bring them. You will save the...
Hello Tim, Hmm... never had any problems selling fish to retailers. Amongst the livebearers, I sold a batch of around 30 humpbacked Limias to one London store...
Hello Tim, Can't argue with this. Quite a few fish shops are run by real enthusiasts. I'd encourage anyone interested in fish breeding to talk with their...
Hi Tim, While this is obviously the ideal, the reality is that there are several hundred species of freshwater fish regularly traded in the UK, compared with...
tim from my very novice outlook and chatting to a lot of local breeders they are fed up with shops and have now turned to e-bay or web sites to sell there fish...
It's great to get continued input from Neale. He has had some hits on the chin & still puts comments in. Well done Neale. The newsgroup needs input. This...
