Gill & I are having a few days away in Paignton, Devon from Monday (19th) to Friday (23rd).
I have a list of 7 aquatic stores to visit (mainly on the way home), so may come back with additional stock.

We're back.

We visited a few LFS.
I was looking for another Corydoras species, Tetra species and maybe some Cupid cichlids.
I was not impressed with the LFS that we visited.
However today (Saturday) we visited three other LFS, MA at Thornbury, World of Water at Whitminster and Aquatic Habitat at Gloucester.
Thornbury and Whitminster didn't have anything that I wanted.
However Aquatic Habitat did have Cupid cichlids. Normally Aquatic Habitat are more expensive than other LFS (previously Cupid cichlids were £25 whilst £16 elsewhere).
Today the Cupid cichlids were £45 each, I was not prepared to pay silly money so we came home empty handed.

That's a shame, I hope you had a good few days away despite this, it is a bit tricky when you know which fish you want, I usually end up getting a delivery, although I do love a road trip to look at new shops but can only do them in the winter so I can take the dog plus I need a whole free day, hope the tank is doing well :happy:
