TeeCee Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hey all - having kept a tiny tank for a few motnhs I have just brought a proper bit of furniture and am really enjoying getting it all set up. Strictly a community tank (no fights or frights if I can help it). I've been one of those "lurkers" that has read almost every word on the site before joining - most interesting - and a bit scary, it seems that this fish fancying lark can get a bit out of hand - and I haven't got a garage!!!!! Have been fascinated by some pix I saw of purple guppies - not only are they spectacular, purple's my fav colour - anyone know where I can get hold of a pretty male? I'm in North Canterbury. Can see I'll be visiting the site on a frequent basis from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Welcome Tee Cee, are there any decent fish stores in North Canterbury???? Used to live in Kaiapoi for a while myself, though that was 6-7 years ago. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Welcome TeeCee. We have a few from Canterbury in here. Christchurch has the most pet shops per population in NZ and, according to those in the know, a better selection that Auckland. Heading your way next weekend as we will be staying overnight in ChCh then on to goldie in Asburton. You had better start budgeting for a bigger house or a garage as this hobby is catching!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeCee Posted January 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 Ash T - I picked up my latest 3 female guppies from Redwood Aquatics on Thursday - had been eagerly waiting for Bob to get his new fish out of quarrantine. The guppies weren't out yet and so I ended up with pot luck - was unaware that purple guppies existed until today looking at the sites via this one and although I had "thought" I'd got all I wanted in the way of pretty males, didn't think to ask him to look for any boys (just pretty girls) - All three have the most amazingly long ventral fin. I have found Redwood to be a really good source (both fish and info) but also discovered Critter Kingdom a week ago and was pleasantly surprised at their stock and prices. Herefishiefishie - I work in Christchurch and commute each day so am not limited to Nth Canty (thankfully as the only one I have found so far had two tanks and I'm sure they're there as entertainment for the shop cats rather than a genuine attempt to sell fish ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 So nice to met you TeeCee. How is the search for the purple guppies going??? So hard to find really nice guppies. I had a few nice blue and gold ones a year or so ago. Maybe I can get a peek at your tanks on my way to Blenheim in February for Malboroughs tank parade, if you are not too shy. I love looking at others peoples tanks and fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
