NEW SALES WEBSITE I CAME ACROSS

Post by pleco-nutter »

Not sure if this is the right place to put this or not, I have been looking for some decent fish sales sites and was wondering if people could put there thoughts in.

It's so hard to find decent ones that are not spammed to the hills and seeing the same old ads all the time.

I came across this new site http://www.aquaristclassifieds.com
It's not very busy at the moment but it does look good and its free to sell on there....Just thought I would let people know.

I hope this thread is in the right place and don't cause offence, I just thought it might be good to know the decent sites to buy and sell fish related items for free as *bay costs far to much now.

I few I have found.

http://www.tropicalfishfinder.co.uk/sto ... p?store=54

The 2 companies on the tropical fish finder website are Wildwoods and Wholesale Tropicals. These are usually more expensive but have a very good selection and I know some people higher rate Wildwoods.

Enjoy :)
Q) Why are dead fish harder to 'wind up' than live fish?
A) Because dead fish never take the bait! ;)

Take your Caps Lock key OFF! It's considered extremely rude to type in all CAPS.

Is it classifieds you're after or online fish retailers? If the latter, I can recommend http://www.trimar.co.uk. For one, their stocklists are always up to date.
In case anyone wonders, I have no stake in this business whatsoever.

Hi Pleco-nutter,

I notice, for example, you've also posted the same post elsewhere (http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forum ... ?p=3902691). This is pretty close to spamming.

Could you confirm you have no affiliation with the classified site please?

I don't know if the user has some connections, but if Essex is correct, then it's not the OWNER of the site [unless something fishy (no pun intended) is going on) - it appears that the owner of the site is from Hull - that is the site that it renames to when you follow the above link... The owner of the above domain name in itself is hiding behind some "make me invisible" proxy company - one would presume it's actually the same person, but technically, it could be different people.

When I tried it out this morning, it looked like it was "broken" - but maybe it's been fixed now.
