Just a note to everyone , my supplier has run out of Shrimp Pellets and it may be 6 weeks before they are back in stock .... I currently have 1250g in stock and I shall not be putting them on ebay because I think many of you will run out within the 6 week period so I am keeping them for you regulars. May pay to use sparingly if you can , I think there is enough here to satisfy regular demand.
Also recieved a sample of some pellets which are designed for aquatic shelled creatures , I shall be calling these pellets Invertibites. They are a floating pellet but thats not a problem , I dropped a dozen in one of our tanks and within half an hour there were just two left and those have now been scoffed too. They seem to go down well , they are designed to give extra additives to the shells of any aquatic shelled creature such as calcium and vitaman's A & D . I shall be getting some of these in with my next order , I think 50g is going to run at around £2.50 + P&P ... if anyone is interested in this then let me know and then I can get an idea as to how much I should order .... don't want to order a large amount if nobody is interested.
Thanks
Darren

Hi all
Well I have good news and bad news lol , lovely.
The Invertibites I can do for £1.99 which is a big saving , so thats the good news.
The bad news is , it seems that my suppliers supplier has decided to stop making these due to lack of demand so that's p*ssed me off because to me they are great but thats life I guess.
So I've just ordered in 1.2 kilo of the Invertibites and that may very well be it , my supplier is now trying to source another supplier of the same kind of thing.
Yes Luv I can ship to Canada , don't know how much that will run at but I'm sure it won't be a fantatstic amount. As for the make of these foods I have no clue , all I can really get out of my supplier is that some of the products are top brands but without the frills and some like the invertibites are just unbranded and made by whoever he gets them off. He won't give much away and I guess I can't blame him , I wouldn't give any clues to my secrets either. I had one guy email me through ebay about the shrimp pellets , asked me if I could supply in large amounts and I said yes of course , he then contacted me and asked if he could have my suppliers details because he had a lot of friends who would order loads from him and that would make my supplier very happy with me .... LMAO .. DO I HAVE 'MUG' STAMPED ON MY HEAD lol ... anyway I got back to the person and told him that I wasn't giving up my supplier but if he and his friends wanted to forma buying syndicate then I'd be happy to supply them in very large quantity's ... well I got a very abusive email back , so I know where my supplier is coming from keeping things to himself ... I suppose if he were to say that oh the shrimp pellets are King British then I would automatically know that that company has a no frill policy for business customers that I could then tap into and cut out the middle man. It seems that there is a rule of thumb amongst the food manufacturers , I have heard that you need to be sort of put forward by someone they already deal with to get no frills bulk off them .... hence if I got the brand off my supplier I could then contact the company and state that my supplier had given me their details and bingo I'm in ... just what I've heard from various sources.
I'll let you know when I get the Invertibites in and we'll take it from there.
Cheers
Daz
