Gilly, having difficulty tracing you shrimp. Have a few more options but always get offers on the peacock so far.

LOL, Ian did say they were the most popular and that's probably all you'd find. The Peacocks are very pretty but need a large acrylic tank cause they get so darn big. Thanks for looking and let me know if anything turns up.

Gilly, I have a few outlets to try yet, The exporters I am left dont really know scientific names rather guess work Im afraid. Out of intrest was it a smasher or a piercer you wanted.

I buy Marine World or rather i cadge a copy from Aquarius dont buy PFK any more but used to. Gilly if you want to keep a Peacock in a glass tank put a sheet of acrylic in the bottom to stop them breaking the glass when they dig and cant get out. HTH. Eric

That's a good idea about the acrylic. Would love a peacock but they just get too big for the tank size we're wanting. I think you need a minimum 30g for a peacock to be comfortable and we are looking at a 40l tank.

Maybe next tank - if Ian had his way we'd have loads of stomatopod tanks. He's absolute fascinated by them. Must admit I think they're pretty cool myself, but not in my main reef tank ;)

I subscribe to PFK and buy the odd copy of Coral from my LFS.

I have never seen Marine World for sale before. Can you get this from newsagents or just from lfs?
