Butt3rfly Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I am new to this, I am from Invercargill. I have kept fish for quite some time on and off. I recently had a fish die, I had never seen one like it before, or one since, I was told it was a Panda butterfly fish. It was so cool, had an awesome wee personality and was my pride and joy!! I bought it from East Road pets here in Invercargill, have given them my details and they said they would try to get me another one, but I havent heard from them and its been 6 weeks. Am really wanting another fish like this, can anyone help me please?? Thanks heaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southerrrngirrl Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 ...I bought it from East Road pets here in Invercargill, have given them my details and they said they would try to get me another one, but I havent heard from them and its been 6 weeks... Welcome! Hope you're not holding your breath. I've been waiting for probably a good 3 months (and still waiting) for them to get me some Zebra Loaches.. First time I bought the 2 loaches I had/have I asked if they could ring me when they got more in.. 2+ years later I'm still waiting for that call... :roll: I miss WetPets.

No idea where they get them from. Golden Sucker Cats anyone?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I would love to throttle the person that came up with the name panda butterfly fish, and intended for it to be a goldfish :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi & welcome! Looks like the wise people here have sorted out what kind of fish you did have (sorry for the loss). I couldn't make out the pic in the avatar. Good luck on finding a new one! phoenix...many, many years ago I always thought black moors were guppies :oops: :lol: Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
