Where are they still for sale?

[Jimbo]

Hi. I’m interested to know where in the world CPD’s are still on sale and whether they are wild caught or captive bred. There doesn’t seem to be much limitation in sales to breeders, from my experience. I guess this will help people trying to locate some aswell. BAS in Bolton still have them as do Maidenhead Aquatics in Stockport.

I bought mine from BAS in bolton £26 for 10

i bought 30 – and managed to get them to do them for £75 (not the best bit of negociating – but they are fairly rare and in short supply and mynamar has banned further exports)

Where abouts in cheshire are you ? i’m in Crewe

Hey! I’m just outside Tarporley. Do you have fry yet? Mine are yet to breed successfully but when they do would you be interested in swapping some fish? Where did you hear about the export ban?

I only bought my fish this wednesday – so it’s a bit early for fry …. but hopefully soon

I’d be interested in swapping fry, and any tips you might have. I’ve been watching mine and theres some definate flirting going on

There was an article in Practical fish Keeping magazine saying about the export ban – i couldnt find the article – but it is also on the wikipedia entry (i know wiki isnt the most reliable of resources – but it was in PFK magazine too) I think this is great news – it should hopefully protect the natural stocks left … aswell as making any fry i have much more valuable !
