HEY hey you never know who is on or around wher for me its a twenty minute ride .. did
u look at the site?

They're just taking the piss because this is a UK-based forum mate... so you dont really expect to come on and see an "advert" for a shop in the US.

"tri state area , there is a great store on Rt 22 In union nj" - that bit means absolutely F*ck all to me mate... all i got from that is that theres a "great store"... the rest may as well be written in chinese.

Also... suppose a few of us were interested in joining one of these trips to the amazon... would we have to travel to the USA first or could we go direct?

You piss takers. I might go today.

SO I GUESS YOU guys never leave the uk , o i forgot all the little contries dont tour the world like us fat americans,, If u ever get enough money to fly to brasil or south america, you might be able to meet up with the people that are sending the Ps and so fourth to your friggin countries . I personnaly think it would be fun to go and get some fish for myself and bring home some..I like the fact that I have fish born in the wild in my house..
RIO NANAY Black Water Tributaries - Upper Amazon River Basin

TROPICAL FISH COLLECTING EXPEDITION 2009

August 8 to August 15 *
Rio Amazonas, Rio Nanay, Rio Corrientes
(There is the possibility of a second week, if enough people are interested.)

1 Week $1,395 ($1,295 if fully paid for by July 15) plus airfare to Lima, Peru, which can range from $599 to $1,199, depending on how far in advance it is purchased. This is arranged by each individual traveler himself. There is an additional local flight from Lima to Iquitos, Peru for approx $175 that is arranged through a travel service in Miami.
Led by George Fear, Shark Aquarium, Hillside, NJ 07205 Veteran Traveler and Collector throughout Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru Outfitted by Margarita Tours, a division of Amazon River Expeditions, S.C.R. LTD The main focus of this year's trip will be to sample rarely explored or collected numerous blackwater rivers and streams that drain into the Rio Nanay,
accessed via the upper Rio Amazonas, in northeastern Peru. Emphasis will be placed on accessing smaller streams that initiate above the flood plain. Fishes from this area have evidenced limited geographic distribution. Recent discoveries from this immediate area of new characins, such as the Red Pencil fish, and dwarf cichlids, such as the lyretail Apistogramma, support the fact that there may be new fishes there yet to be collected.

Our boat will only accomodate up to 12 passengers. We will also be accompanied by a full crew, consisting of the boat's Captain, cook, and interpretor/naturalist who will be more than willing to help drag the seine, and lead jungle hikes.

If there is enough interest, an excursion will be offered for a 1-2 day fishing trip up the Rio Nanay for the giant BLACK piranha, Serrasalmus rhombeus. Daily activities will include tropical fish collecting, jungle walks, kayaking, fishing, and any other activities which may avail themselves. There are always surprises, even after doing 15 years of these trips! This trip will probably be totally booked by April/May. THIS IS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

To reserve a seat (BUNK!), a $400 deposit must be received by April 15. Another $400 payment is due by May 31, with the remainder due by June 30. Do NOT purchase your airfare until you have received a written confirmation that a place has been reserved in your name, and your payment(s) has been received.

Sounds like your trying to sell us a holiday.Are you on commision?..if you are then your a spammer.

This is one of the sponsors of piranha fury. I think we missed the boat though, it left on 8th August. Anyway, last I heard, they were looking for a new boat.

I have been to Peru so yes I do leave England and no you are quite right we are not like you fat Americans.

...tour the world, or try to take over it?... i dont think you guys really travel to other countries to choose your next pet, or to admire the scenery do you?... is it not usually to decide if its worth invading and waging war against to steal their oil?

by the way... the next highlighted bit is the reason u got that response.

(anyone got that w*nker smilie???)

Excellent , it even says the boat will accomodate 12 passengers or 6 fat Americans, and advises not to get too close to the American boat as their shirts may scare the fish

Yah no not advertisement i wouldnt have asked for tank advice if i was a sponsor type and no no commision.. LOL ,, and yes we dont like alot of things that bush has done but no hopefully this new guy does something good..

so yo all that was was what i was saying about my local fish store is all... and they got cool stuff .. Oh and help me out here is a w*nker a jerk off i dont know : ) either way , not every one that drops by is from uk <<<<<<<<< NYC >>>.. So be glad that you guys hae attracted people from other parts of the world and BTW... AS they SAY Cheers MATE !!!

A few of us that have visited Pfury are aware of Sharkaquarium and the others that sponsor that site.
And we know that George makes and runs SA trips and charges plenty of money for his fish!
Margarita Tours http://www.opefe.com/Amazon_tours.html, also offers collecting trips from the states and theres another based in Switzerland.

Also its amazing to know that we managed to colonise your country without leaving ours, thanks for that
