Anybody want any sticklebacks?

[Stickleback]

I have dozens of 3-spined sticklebacks in my pond - they are great to watch, especially at breeding time (which seems to be most of the year!). They look after themselves - don't need feeding or anything. I am surprised at how big they grow, given the chance - I have some that are close to 3 inches, although most of them are smaller. They prefer some water movement - mine accumulate under the waterfall waiting for tasty titbits to flow past!

If you would like any, you are welcome to come and we will catch some. I live in South Bucks, near High Wycombe / Aylesbury / Thame. PM me if you are interested.

I really did want to introduce some, but having posted the question a couple of weeks ago I think my pond may be too small.

They can breed very fast as well, I guess thats why you have so many. If only my pond was bigger I would certainly have some.

Im sure you will have some takers

We would love some for our wildlife pond. Can collect at any time convenient to you. Thanks

We would like to report that a breakaway group of sticklebacks was last spotted last Friday, travelling approximately east. The fish were very comfortable in a purposely-bought plastic box in the boot of a car, and were heard to say "Woo Hoo, we're off to explore a new pond!". The biggest fish (approx 3 inches) was attempting to calm the younger ones down, as they were (like all children when going on holiday) getting over-excited and being a little silly.

I am setting up an aqaurium for indigenous fish. I would love some sticklebacks. Can come at weekends as you are not too far around M25.

Thanks
