Re: about stevenage specialist aquatics


Yeah they're still based in Crews Hill. I don't recall everything they've got in stock, but they usually have some pretty nice fish. They occasionally get something a bit different in too, which is always worth a look.


Just got off the phone with Rick and I'm really looking forward to heading ...

Re: about stevenage specialist aquatics


Does anyone know if they're still operating from Crewes Hill, their website seems outdated, no current stock list available.


Went out to SSA yesterday and was really let down - they weren't open despite the advertised hours. Had a chat with the shopkeeper next door and he said the owner's a bit ...

Congrats on the new tank, mate. Can't wait to see the setup, when's the delivery expected and when can we get some pics?

Re: keeping electric blue fish in a community tank?

Considering your community's dynamics, a sizable school of a peaceful species could work well. The gold gourami's temperament is worth researching, as some gouramis can be territorial. However, a dwarf species like the dwarf neon rainbowfish could be a great fit. They often go unnoticed in stores ...

Re: keeping electric blue fish in a community tank?

I'd advise against adding the electric blue johanni to your tank, gunsmoke. Malawis like them have specific requirements that wouldn't mesh with your community setup.

Re: finding a more affordable catfish option

Honestly, I'd say save your money and skip the hassle of filtration for one. I've got a bn plec in my tank, same situation as yours, and to be honest, I hardly ever see the thing.

I'm fairly sure ADC in London might have them in stock - I'm actually heading there over the weekend, so I'll keep an eye out for you. It's not exactly on your doorstep in Kent, but it's not too much of a trek either.

Re: Request for additional ids

My old Livi didn't look that similar to yours, to be honest. The blotch markings were there, but the blue face was only visible occasionally. I think you might be right about the Milomo, though - I've read that tank-bred ones often don't have the distinctive lip like the wild ones. Still, it's good ...
