hi thanx, the shrimp pellets are really enjoyed by fish and snails, and are causing much less mess than the sinking pellets i was using before! The ones i have been using were breaking up in the tank, making the water cloudy and leaving a nasty residue on the glass!! ugh! even my tropical fishies seem interested! oh by the way, my friend (the one whos fishies always drop dead) gave me two fish today. I have no idea what they are . neither does she. one looks a little of colour but i have no idea what is wrong with he she or it. didnt look great when it arrived. They both are about 2.5cm long, orangy in colour. they remind me slightly of beady.. my evil paradise fish i had when i was younger (that fish is forever remembered as she was a complete psycho! she breed and then battered her mate to death. Unfortunately i was 8 and i thought they were playing! )(thou much smaller and different colour) they also have long stringy fin things.. could they be gourami??? i really duno. one of them seems fine thou.. very active, otherone seems pale and listless. in personal experience.. i think this fishie is gonna die. unless u have any suggesttions on fishy health care

Hi Emma Glad you are happy with the shrimp pellets , thats good. Now the fish , you need to be careful taking in strays LOL ... if they are diseased they may pass the disease on to your other fish ..... if you have a small quarantine tank then dump them in that lol. Anyway without seeing pictures I can't say what may be the problem but I can advise that the best thing you can do is treat them with melafix at the moment if you have some .... may as well treat all the fish in the same tank now as any disease will have already been passed on (if it is a disease) ... I find melafix helps with a whole multitude of illness's and it's okay with snails too. Hope that helps Emma Darren

Sorry about fishie, Emma. You did make him vastly more comfortable in the last few hours than he had had before...so chin up, consider it a learning experience, and soldier on.

Hi Dave Glad you are happy with the purchase Funny that you should mention greater amounts because next week I shall be putting larger amounts on ebay ... basically Dave I can supply whatever amounts you want .. obvioulsy bulk will be cheaper ... what sort of weight you looking at buying? Also Dave my supplier has other foods that I'm thinking of stocking , don't know what kind of response I'll get on the old open market lol ... here's some examples of what I can supply ... tell me what you think is a good price and what you think I should stay clear of... 50g Super Chiclid Floaters @ £1.99 50g Super Chiclid Sinkers @ £1.84 50g Oscar Grow Sinking & Floating Pellets @ £1.99 50g Oscar Show Sinking & Floating Pellets @ £1.99 50g Krill Soft & Moist Pellets @ £1.49 50g Koi & Goldfish Pond Pellets @ £1.69 50g Frog & Tadpole Pellets @ £2.49 50g Turtle Pellets @ £2.49 I can also get flake foods but I don't know how popular they will be , anyway let me know what you think of the above list ... in fact anybody jump in and let me know what you think of the above list. Cheers Darren

Cheers Darren, what would say a kilo set me back with delivery? As for the other bits, the cichlid floaters and sinkers, and the krill pellets would be of interest to me, again after a "trial" small pack, in larger quantities. Flake I think you would have to work hard with as there are several people doing that on ebay at rediculously low prices, you can get 2kg of King Brit for £35, mind you, i always shop where the price is best

Hi Dave
Cheers for the feedback on the above items , I'll give some of them a go I think but as you say I think I'll steer clear of the flake food .... if I get a better deal from my supplier on flake food then I'll consider it ... what type of flake food is that then? Tropical? or specific chiclid?
Anyway I've got you a price on 1 kilo of Shrimp Pellets , I can do you 1Kg for £21.00 plus £5.00 P & P. Let me know if you want any as I'm sending an order off this week and if I know you'll be wanting a kilo soon I'll get it in ready.
I'll get some of that other stuff ordered too and we'll see what we get eh!
Speak soon Dave
Cheers
Darren

Hi Dave
Nice one , I've ordered it in this morning so I'm just waiting now for the delivery ... I'll give you a shout when it's here ... don't want to take your money until I have the stuff to despatch.
Also ordered in some Chiclid Floaters & Sinkers and some Krill Pellets. I'll put together a little sample bundle and send it with the shrimp Pellets at no extra cost ... as I don't have chiclids I could do with a good honest opinion on them before I put them up on ebay .. so looks like your the man LOL.
I'll be in touch soon
Darren
