dave

nice one mate

... i can hear gav starting the car up

Nice one Dave.Good to see some nice fish coming in atlast. Get some pics up!!

Awesome, someones going to be tempted to splash the cash

looking forward to the photos.
Nice to hear a big Rhom has made it ok.

this is the second time they have sent a big rhomand its been fine,they send it in a box as big as a tall washing bin!!!!

a bigger one will make it no probs i think

hoping for brazil shipment 1 week today




dave

How can you post this and have no pics. Your teasing us!

lol thank martin for that !



dave

Nice to hear you got 1 thru safe and well dave but your winding a few members up over the pic,s mate!!!

Yeah boo hiss

Ditto.

yeah????????

Still up waiting for the pics????? Could be tempted depending on price etc, but would prefer a brizilian!!!!

Damn, might have to sell my piraya though

still waiting on pics im affraid,martin doesnt have a camera jsut a phone.

ive put a request in for a pic but could be a while yet! the rhom is covered up and his mobile phone takes a bad pic,so he aint got no flash so wouldnt be worth taking a pic until he can get a light on it.

the big rhom is in big plastic container as well so its hard to get a pic.

once he moved to a tank with lights it should be ok.
main thing is to get the fish to full health first.


dave

also trying not to make the big fish too exspensive,problem is they are rare to make it alive so you have to make a killing on one to be able to give you the cash to order another and take the risk.
if they keep sending them in big containers like this one we can start to see more alive ones and bring the price down a fair bit.

only other way to make them cheaper is the customer put down around £200 deposit,if it arrivres dead you lose the cash or if its alive you pay just alittle more extra for the fish.cost us £50 to have them delivered from the airport and then the time to bring them around.
unless we sell the big rhoms for silly money there just isnt much money in it for the risk taken.

we you risk £20 on something to get £40 back knowing you have around 80% chance of losing it??

its all down to the packing,when this rhom arrived the water was warm!!! way to warm,also hes mega fat so been fed right up until he was shipped to us,its amazing hes still alive,pure luck with him!!

as a few mebers will know there aint no money in getting the rarer fish over,basically do it cause were piranha mad.if i was trying to make money i would def try different specie of fish lol.

we have some small brazils on orderto arrive this tuesday,and few other goodies! we are testing there packing out and need to sell a few before we can risk a big order.

whoops im going on lol


dave

good on Martin for that, The packing style is similar to a guy called eduardo in peru, the way he does it is the best and has the most success rate.

I have been so busy recently and I need a huge rhom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much is this bad boy?

Well done

gav

nt sure yet,until hes fully recovered i wont know.

prob £350-£450 if its 16 inch


dave

Someone,s gonna bite your hand off for that price dave i,m sure, good luck!!

think hes sold now

wont be passed on until another week but should make a full recovery any day.


dave

Gav ? !

Damn that was quick and we never got a pic!!!



I would think so!!! I'll take a £10 bet on that!!!!

Safe bet I would think Mike!

as shaggy says "it wasn't me" and I mean that guys, pissed i missed out

Blimey Gav thought that was a given! Someone else is a lucky guy then. Maybe Steve?

Not me..my money is on Rich.

not on the forum,a guy from up north,itsd not def yet but he said hes coming this weekend for it .

until the cash has exchanged hands its not a done deal.



dave

maybe we should start a new thread with odds for each member and start betting????

and the forum gets 10%????????????

I WOULD LOVE IT
please tell me if it doesnt go, ive been saving

What Dave a non forum member.Now we will never see any pics.Unless you tell him about the forum of course.

Just let Gav have it ! Sounds like he is real keen !

yeah yeah yeah

been away til today fishing for my birthday so will be giving martina ring later tonight and il find out what happened.

think we have some large xingus coming next week and we had a delivery arive today.


more imfo latter tonight


dave

Sounds good Dave, but we need pics if you post threads like that!!!!

tell me about it,these fish are at martins though so it takes a while for us to get one!
i might be going down this week though,maybe tomorrow so il snap away at all his stock!



dave

Me and Matt were wondering if Martin would mind if we went to his place one day to have look.Could you ask him Dave?.

sure il ask him,but hes allways mega busy withwork so doubt he will make much time unless your buying.



will ask anyway


dave

Ok cheers Dave.

Northampton somewhere i think.
