Chris Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Ok all you salties down in the mainland on a flying visit to ChCh I spied myself some marines in a shop called Critter Kingdom or something to that effect.Anyway I wanted to purchase some as they were cheaper than what I could get them for up here but was unable to take them with me as I was driving back to Auckland.But I thought that if I couldn`t have them then someone in this forum might want a look.Better be quick though as I gathered that they were in hot demand.

Caryl Posted August 24, 2002 Report Share Posted August 24, 2002 Thanks for thinking of us Chris The place is Kritter Kingdom. Petworld and Redwood Aquatics also have a good selection of marines but I have no idea how their prices compare with Auckland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 The Fishtank in Stanmore Rd and one I can't remember the name of. It is at the side of the carpark of Pak N Save or Countdown (can't remember which) in Moorhouse Ave. Opposite Science Alive (in the old railway station).

Caryl Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Pet World - 475 Ferry Rd The Fish Tank - 250 Stanmore Rd Redwood Aquatics - 21 Hussey Rd (opposite Willowbank Wildlife Park) Kritter Kingdom - halfway down Blenheim Rd (on left as you head out) Animates is also on Moorhouse Ave - in the Mitre 10 building. Go up Colombo St, hang a right onto Moorhouse and you should see a huge dog on the building's roof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 But do you have any money left? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 I did spend a bit :lol: 5 Panda Corys from Kritter Kingdom ($9.90 each) 8) 5 Albino Corydorus Sterbai from Redwoods ($15.00 each) 8) Pandas are pretty small but beats paying 19.90 each from Animates I just about fell over in Animates...... Bristlenose Cats (Medium Size) $30.00 /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 $30 for bristlenoses!!!!!!!!!! Were they gold plated? I have a goldmine in my tank as I have 7 or so babies here. I might bring them to the auction if they are big enough by then. I don't think they travel well when they are very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Those bristlenoses better be full grown for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 I have seen them priced from $11.95 to 15.95 and I thought the latter was dear enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Hi Caryl, If your sitting on a Gold Mine with 7 Bristles, I must have enough to retire on here. I have around 500 sitting in my tanks here :lol: /Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Hey Bruce, You aught to know better than to divulge that information. It makes a great reason to blacmail you into making a post telling us how you did it In the correct section of course, not with the Saltwater.... (gentle hint he he ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
