I asked, they couldn't tell me when they would next be getting one in. Pretty gutted, but I think I'm going to let my daughter have his tank; her Barbs are in there at the moment, and I would feel SO mean putting them back in the Bio Orb. She's been eyeing it up ever since I got it.

I'll get myself another tank when the house extension is finished, I simply don't have anywhere to put another one atm, as some of the rooms are being used for storage whilst it's being done.

I've found the most AMAZING place.

Just down the road, literally. I never knew it existed. It's in a hangar, and it's huuuuuuuuuuuuge. And chock full of lovely, healthy fish.

They're ordering me a Hairy or Congo, whichever they can get hold of <happy happy happy>

I'm wary of the Hairy, he's too far for me to go and have a look at him, and I am concerned about having him couriered. I think I'd rather be patient, and wait for the lovely huge and knowledgeable place to find me one.

A little place called Woodthorpe, just outside of Louth, in Lincolnshire.

They had loads of puffers, but apart from Mbus they were all marine. Some seriously beautiful dogfaces, valentini, and porcupines. I may have drooled a little, but I don't have a marine set up, and I don't have the space for a Mbu.

30,000 square feet of fish, and equipment. Bliss :D

It's on a disused airfield. It looks really scrappy and rubbish from the road, and it doesn't really give you any indication that it's not actually there until you drive through. Then you realise it's not in the scrappy rubbish bit, but is actually in a massive hangar a little drive down the way.

It was bliss. :D
