Hi,thought i better introduce myself :hi My name is Tony and i,m relatively new to the hobby(couple of years)but as you all will know it is very addictive.At the minute i have a small selection L numbers but with my fish house nearing completion i,m guessing that number will increase drastically over the next few months.I have already gained alot of good imformation off the site and its great to know that advice is only a couple off mouse clicks away.Regards Tony

Hi Rob,thanks for the welcome.I was at the auction sunday,picked a few fish(sterbai and some L182)There was a L006 going which i wanted to go with mine but the guy who was looking at it next to me dropped it(wasn,t you was it lol) so i gave it a miss,got plenty dry goods aswell.These auctions are such great places for picking up not only bargains but getting some great tips on fish keeping from other people their.Regards Tony

Great stuff is that the first auction you have been to?, it was a good day out i pickd up some Corydoras Concolor Adults, Corydoras Atropersonatus and Corydoras Gossei. If you need anymore Corydoras Sterbai let me know i have around 20+ F1s all around 1-1.5"
No ive been too about half a dozen auctions Rob picking up a few L numbers and corys along the way starting with the CSG auction last year.Ive just set up a couple of new tanks so might be interested in a few sterbai off you,Your only up the M61 from me so not too far to come and have a look.
Yeah that would be no problem at all, you should attend the Preston Aquatics meets 1st tuesday in every month its in a pub in bamber bridge they have a talk/presentation on various subjects like building a fish house, collection in the amazon, fish breeding etc then a auction, its a good bunch of people and well worth going.
