    It just shows how long it is since I had my Altums all those years ago, I bought all 6 of mine for £120, they weren't fry or babies either, they were decent size juvies, looking at these again it makes me miss mine even more!

      @@bigfishlad4847hi Paul I am really pissed off I ordered from sims the other week I ordered 1 peacock bass,1 regani cichlid,1 breidorhi and 1 synspilum. They where due to arrive today which they have however they sent me two peacock bass and 2 regani cichlids. And when I called up and questioned them they said that they had none in because Christmas has just passed and so they had no breidorhi or synspilum which is understandable but they didn’t call me to verify instead added 1 more peacock bass and 1 more regani Cichlid. And despite being sold out of a bunch of fish they still have them up on their website !

My uncle who is quite old now Ordered a pearsei cichlid like 3 months ago from sims and a week ago noticed red around the gill plate and this “pearsei cichlid” grew Literally to like 5 inches from 5cm in 3 months I was spectical and I said it could be a synspilum he said that sims wouldn’t swap the fish as he spent 20 pounds on it and a further 30 for delivery 50 pounds for 5 cm fish.Synspilum is like my favourite fish but 50 pounds for a fish you didn’t even want and for them to not Even give him a message about changing it is outrageous and we both agreed that based on today’s events they will swap a fish without hesitation
