Aquariums & Fish Keeping / Mail Order Fish

Decided to stick my neck out and risk an order from this company in Kent.

https://www.tropco.co.uk/

They have a much bigger range of fish than I can get locally. The prices are OK, but you have to buy a good number of fish to cover the flat rate overnight  shipping charge of £19.95.

Test order was 6 rams, 6 cherry shrimp and 12 rummy nose tetras. The packing was impressive with multiple bags, pure oxygen inflation and heat pads.

All are in the two quarantine tanks. Shrimps are on the moss balls, rummys still a bit freaked out and hiding and the rams already coming up to the glass to check me out.

Cichlids are such interesting fish. I asked them to mix the sexes which they appear to have done. The one in the photo appears to be a female.

I meant the volume settings under the setup menu. I think mine is set for Voice but it is a while since I set them up.
