Hi
I'm looking to buy a juvenile or semi-adult Synodontis Angelicus, and I will require posting/shipping to Cumbernauld, Glasgow, as well unfortunately.

Anything Doing? :YMPRAY:

Thanks
Ian

I wouldn't have thought these are terribly hard to find as "returns". They may not be common, but not that rare either. I think Aqualife in Preston had one or two in stock (didn't look like 'returns' either) - not sure if they do "by post" delivery tho'.

Could try Wildwoods in Enfield - they definitely do mail order.

Excellent Mats
I'll check these out.
The problem seems to be "postage" with shops that do have them.

cheers
Ian

Sorry to be a nuisance.
Both Wildwoods in Enfield have one (10cm) and Trimar have one (6cm)
Obviously you know about wildwoods but do you know anything about trimar with regards to reputation?
I am worried that I may end up with some "hybrid johnny" and thought I'd pester you for a bit of info.

The trimar one is a good £10+ cheaper than wildwoods even after taking delivery into account.

Thanks again, and apologies for being a pest.

I've only been to Trimar once (becuase I don't really get to Cornwall very often), but the fish then were looking good, and the shop certainly as some good reputation.

Wildwoods is also a high reputed shop.

Not sure if there are hybrids that even remotely look likt S. angelica. Maybe they can e-mail you a photo of the fish...

Also, a 10cm vs. a 6cm fish will cost quite a lot different at the importation stage.
