trinity Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I'm going to be in Tauranga on Monday and was wondering if anyone knows which pet shops in that area have marine fish in stock. There are so many in the yellow pages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Hey trinity, Tauranga's marine selection is quite poor. Living Waters has the best selection, and Animal Antics over at the Mount has a few damsels and i think one or two other types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinity Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks Antwan I will have a look through living waters while i'm over there. If i'm real lucky they might have a gold stripe maroon clown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 They have a large maroon on display, not sure if it's the same type as you're after though, are you aware that they have moved? if not, theyre under Furniture Court in the McDonalds car park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDM Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 the goldfish bowl in hamilton has a maroon clown with gold stripes, saw it thursday, call brian he is great to deal with. i think it was a bit pricey at $98.50 (imho). i have a maroon clown with white stripes, great fish but a little bossy :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinity Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks JDM Yes they are one my favourite marine fishs, my current Maroon has so much character :lol: The Depth of the colour she/he has also really sets the tank off.

trinity Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 :lol: :lol: Yeh i suppose they do need a day off I did some major shopping arround over the phone yesterday. Auckland............... no stock of the true Dark maroon Tauranga.............. no stock Wairarapa............. no stock Palmerston north.......no stock Wellington region ................ no stock and at one shop the lady didn't even understand what i was after and then i started having trouble understanding her aswell. Most of the shops gave me pretty good service over the phone ie: no stock at the moment or no we don't carry marine fish there were a couple who even offered to put me in their waiting list book. A guy in one of the shops in the wairarapa gave me the best service of them all, he put me onto a new shop in hastings part of a garden centre ............. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: they have one I will have my new baby this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
