Fish Trade Europe

To join this group click the URL & follow the simple instructions.

Fish Trade Europe was set up in March 2003. Martin Tversted writes...
"Any good aquarist has experienced that not only will his fish breed, they also get so many young fish that he will have way too many. He now distributes them to everyone he knows and suddenly the local aquarium club has too many of this species. Often people’s interest fades and they give up keeping the species all together.
In another part of the country or other part of the continent, this particular species is very rare. They can’t get the species because they know of no one who has it. What do they do? Also very rare fish that have only few dedicated keepers can find help on this email list.
This email list is made for the distribution of good quality fish of private breeding – not restricted to any particular group of fish. It’s made for every fish keeper in Europe that wishes to sell or give away his surplus fish. You can also ask for the species you are looking for, and finally the list opens up for finding people who travel to fish conventions and therefore are able to bring along fish from one to another".
