Aw thats good that they survived and i guess went down your overflow into sump without you knowing?
Where do you buy your fish and corals? In liverpool or surrounding areas or from online?
I only know of the wavertree nook and maidenhead aquatics at dobbies/ speak and think there another maidenhead at sefton meadows and another small lfs over the road on outskirts of north liverpool of remember correctly but not been there in years.im asking as currently got 3 fish in tank and will be getting about 7 more over next coming months then off course corals so if you know of any decent lfs ? And hope all is well with yourself and family

Ok thanks jim.will look into it.
As im new im not getting any over the top fish,probably just the usual suspects but even a yellow watchman goby im struggling to get at moment and as want put less aggressive in first this one next fish i want to add along with a pistol shrimp.
The nook had a pistol shrimp but boy was it tiny.i mean miniscule, only the one and did have ywg on thursday when get new fish in but by friday it got sold and i want to wait few days before buy it so if got any dieseses that kill quick then it already be dead by time i go pick it up think need tell the nook get me a ywg and reserve it for me for few days etc or any fish for that matter.ok thanks again

They should be able to get them for you
pretty certain they all use the same wholesalers

Ok just been looking on facebook posts of that burscough aquatics and looks great.huge selection of corals compared to the only other 2 lfs close to me and looks like they got some nice fish and by looks of things they get new stock on weekends going by their posts of " new deliveries in"and dates are weekends so going go over this friday hopefully and check it out.net says should take a hour to drive there and im willing to drive to bradford at just over a hour as cheaper and better stock than 2 lfs near me.hopefully i can come back with shrimp/ goby pair but little nervous about all them tunnels lol.but that's also the thing that attracts me to them.anyway ty for suggestion shop looks great ^_^

Hi jim
Went to burscough aquatics today and you was right. It defo worth the visit.the amount of corals they had is unreal and fish selection also.they was just waiting on a delivery of livestock also so said will be even more choice if waited another 30 minutes or so.but i want to buy a fish after lfs had it least 3 days as some new stock i find just die soon.
I did notice a few wrasses flashing on rocks and sand beds and put me off a little and seen 2 fish with big visible flukes on there pectoral fins.
But ended up buying a simple silver belly yellow wrasse and pistol shrimp/ ywg pair.
From different system than the few fish i seen flashing.but i guess all/ most lfs the high volume of stock going through there systems they all got it hey.anyway thanks for recomendation.i definately be going back for sure.
