HummingBird Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Does anyone know of anywhere in Auckland where I can get some good Bettas? Preferably Juveniles too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staplez Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Most of the pet/fish stores I've been to in Auckland sell rubbish. I've seen some nice crown betta on trademe other then that finding a breeder is the best option. I used to breed them but have since left them.

KM Posted January 18, 2005 Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hollywood Fish Farm have good ones from time to time. I bought a very nice Crown Siamese Fighter from them a while back, but they don't stock them often. Probably best to call them and ask what they have in stock. I see you live in Highland Park, you could go have a look at Goldfish Pagoda (I think it is on Cascades rd), they sometimes stock some attractive Siamese males...once again, may be best to call and ask so you aren't wasting your time.

Luke* Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Going to a fish shop's never a waste of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staplez Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Going to a fish shop's never a waste of time no its not. id rather just go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 No, you are right, it isn't a waste of time. It can be infuriating when you are looking for something specific, and it isn't in stock. In my case, I ofetn come home with soomething all together different, which ultimately means I have to set up another tank *lol* I don't have anymore room though for anymore tanks!!! So if I have something in mind, I try and call ahead, to make sure I don't bring any other fishie friends home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Cheers for letting me know about Goldfish pagoda KM, I went there today and seems like an awesome shop, way closer to me than Jansens too I ended up ordering 4 siamese fighters, 10 cardinals and 4 clown loaches from them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 I'm glad the shop was of use. It is small, and isn't as well set up as Jansen's, but they are keen to do business with you, and that is the main thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 What did you mean by "you put them on order"?? Don't they stock the fish there?? Being an out-of-towner, how do you find this "Golden Pagoda" What sort of fish DO they keep and display? Thanks Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Goldfish Pagoda, it's on Cascades road http://www.wises.co.nz/map/default.asp? ... oomin=true It's underneath the AS where it says CASCADES, near the dairy and whatnot on that side of the road. He ordered them from his supplier because he didn't have any currently in stock, he keeps quite a range of fish there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Thanks for that Eric another shop to add to 'my to check list'. Is there a Jansens out that way too? If so, where is that?? Thanks Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Yes there is a Jansens out here too, it's on Amera place off Ti Rakau Drive, when you're driving down Ti Rakau from Botany the sign is pretty obvious. http://www.wises.co.nz/map/default.asp? ... oomin=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 These are the Bettas that I got from there: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 I tried for over an hour (on and off) this morning trying to contact (Edit).. Gold Fish Pagoda., and all I get is a fax beep. It's a fair old trip from up here, so... Is it a normal LFS type place or a house...? Did you notice if they had any decent Orandas...? Cheers, Bill.

Pegasus Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sorry Eric... Phoned that many places that I got off track somehow. It's Gold Fish Pagoda. I tried to contact in Pakuranga. Also does anyone know if Burbank Goldfish Farm is just a wholesale outlet, or do they sell to the public..? Thanks, Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Ah ok. Goldfish Pagoda is a LFS type place, an actual store and not just a house , it's owned and operated by one guy, Patrick. He opens up a little later than normal on the weekend I think, which may be why there was no answer. I talked to him on the phone a couple of hours ago so he's definately there now. They probably have decent Orandas, I'm not much of a Goldfish person myself so I haven't really noticed but they do have tons of different types of Goldfish (hence the name).
