    They tend to rotate what they keep in there.
    A few years ago there was a big school of piranha

    No prob.

    Well....they were being fed and quite a crowd was watching.
    But Piranhas are a bit dull otherwise.

    The GF are a lot more colourful :)

    I have kept some of the basic types in the past. And currently have some Shubunkins in my pond.
    But I really don't like some of the weird and wonderful forms with deformed looking heads, bloated bodies and telescope eyes etc. :eek:

    I was looking at a UK fancy goldfish supplier website a few weeks ago. Amazing the prices some of the newer types can go for :eek:
    Makes Discus look cheap!

    This is a fantastic fish shop.

    The specialise in oddballs (got my Rays from them), but they also have a very good range of Rift Cichlids. Decent SA and CA Cichlids and some unusual general tropicals (rare Tetras etc). And an amazing range of L Plecs.

    There is a marine section

    They also have an extensive range of pond fish (goldfish, some local cold water fish and sturgeons). And also quite a few different types of fancy goldfish.
