Loopy Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Loopy wants to know if the fish entered needs to be bred buy the owner and not bought. She is thinking of coming up for it. Also would there be any chance in borrowing a setup for the comp? It would be a bit awkward to take a tank on the plane. Cheers Mr Loopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
