Yes I'm a muppet and will now try to research fully prior to impulse buying. If I cant return them or rehome them, then they'll stay where they are, is there anything else apart from Tetras I can have live with them? I can't see there being a happy life for everyone in my tank.Ĭan live animals be returned? Do you reckon I've any recourse with the sales chap? Does anyone want some red clawed crabs?! I'm not necessarily after a refund, but it would be nice to swap them for something else or at the very least, just take them back. He also didn't mention at any point about them needing a dry air area, all they have in my tank it the pipes going out at the top for the cylinder filter. I told the chap that sold them to me my future intentions regarding fish, community etc. I'm fairly gutted and wondering where to go from here, we had plans for loaches, a Betta and some other interesting companions for our first shot, not to mention the impending doom for all my plants! now it appears this is all going to be impossible because I got some bloody crabs! Last night I then thought I'd do some research into the crabs (Yes I know, this stage should have come first! ) Lo and behold, the news that hit me and I'm sure you're all well aware, is they're actually not ideal for community tanks, to put it mildly! Had that been it, I wouldn't be posting now, unfortunately I had what only can be described as "kiddy in a sweetstore moment" I bought 2 Red Clawed Crabs!Įveryone went into the tank and they've all seemed to settle in. Roll on yesterday.Being the impatient schoolchild I am, I pop into the local Fishstore and get myself some more Amanos because they're great creatures to observe. The Tetras are doing well with the Amanos and all is good. Last week after getting the water tested, all levels were good so we started off by adding a small shoal of Tetra Cardinals. The shrimp not only survived, but were actually quite happy so became part of the new tank and its cycling process. The rocks turned out to have some inhabitants, a few tiny Amano shrimp. We look forward to the next step in our relationship with Southern Aquatics.I'll start from the beginning, The last few weeks I've been cycling a 190ltr Trigon tank, as well as planting it I got myself a couple of planted rocks from a well known chain pet store. It’s a win-win situation for all involved, J&K, Southern and the long-standing staff at the Yeovil store. In the last few years, it has become difficult for us to dedicate enough time or resources to the retail side of the business to make it successful, and Southern Aquatics were searching for another retail store, so they approached us. With a large portfolio of products and some large pillar brands to promote and sell (such as Ciano, EHEIM, Betta and more), we need to devote our time and management resources to the wholesale side of the business and making that as good as possible. While retail is where we started, J&K’s focus has always been on our wholesale operation. During this time, the store has operated as a separate entity to J&K Aquatics, and this has even involved building the current store on a bare site at ‘Lufton Way’. "Our Yeovil store came under our ownership as part of a trading debt approx. Latest news from Watermarque Aquatic and J&K Aquatics.
