After getting my 3 babies from Jo's Zebs, I would like to add some more. Does anyone have any juveniles (I'd like some bigger than babies) within a reasonable distance from Kent? I will collect. Let me know if you have any please?

Thanks

Angela

Not bought any from here, but the price of a zebra for the size of the fish is good ; http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/php/detail51_136512.php
I've been in touch with him and he doesn't actually have the zebras and not only doesn't have them he wants payment in advance and to pick up from the airport. I don't know about you but at that price I would expect the seller to quaranteen before selling. Also, I looked him up and he doesn't have a great reputation, so I'm giving him a wide birth!

Sounds like the same guy on ebay a few months back, I'd stay clear of him

Yes, I wasn't happy with our communication at all. Not sure how you can legitimatley sell fish that you have never seen. Also if they have been treated badly during shipment I would rather them die on him (god forbid) than on me at those prices!! And to want payment in advance was just ringing alarm bells. I also found a pirhana forum where a guy had got a fish from him in a terrible state I was not impressed at all.

I would much rather buy from hobby breeders who are interested in the welfare of what they are breeding rather that just shifting stock!

Quite a way from Kent to Yorkshire unfortunately.


None of our guys breeding zebs at the mo?:dk:
Yes just a bit too far - 280 miles to be precise!! Even if I made an offer he accepted he wants them collected within 2 days which would be impossible to guarantee in this weather
