syno-longirostris in the uk ?

Post by syno-kev »

hello again everyone ,
you may remember a few years ago me posting a topic to help find one of these fish ,
and i just wondered if anyone has found one of these true synos not hybrids for sale in the uk ?
there was one at maidenhead aquatics in wembley over a year ago but somebody beat me to it and it was a very fair price of 65 pounds for an 11 inch fish.
my search still goes on !

thanks.

yes they still have the one at wharf in notts it is 9 inches and im not suprized really as they want £150 for it ,
compared with the one at maidenhead aquatics in wembley which was £65 and they had it for nearly 2 years im guessing unless theres a mug out there with loads of money this one is in for a long stay in nottingham !

I will take some photos when I move it to my main tank. It cost a bit over 100€+shipment to Finland.
