Hi Alan, (and everyone else)
We are not closing up at this point, please don't make assumptions on our behalf. This us a very difficult time for everyone in ChCh and we are busy regrouping, trying to rehome kittens and rabbits etc and move all the surviving fish to holding tanks at home. I have been committed to this industry for 20 years and am shocked by the loss of the store that we have spent the last 6 months buidling after the last quake. It takes time on forums like this to try and set people right when comments are made flippantly without speaking to the owner. We have hopes to rebuild again and we are working towards that.
Those that I have not spoken to or seen for months but think they know how my store is running, please, feel free to ring me first and find out. I may be able to help you out if you need space for your fish or reptiles.
The shop is a wreck, however we still have our tank repair and building business running from home. We have a lot of broken glass at home but fared ok apart from that.
We still have all our stock at home and can help if anyone in ChCh is in need of supplies, just get in touch 027 272 3195 or 027 655 2217. You can also ring the shop number and it is being diverted to my mobile 389-2460.
