Trip to Pier, VERY pic heavy

Went to Mike's Rifts on Saturday, he took us along to Pier Aquatics in Wigan.
The outside was not very appealing, but once inside, the array of aquariums and their contents was superb.
Only one tank with a few malawis, but a plethora of other fish, from the bread and butter tropicals to the rare.
The staff were very friendly and the owner Neil was happy to chat, especially about one of his passions, Rays.
Another passion is visible throughout the shop, L numbers galore.
If you like plecs, this is the place for you.

The camera was playing around, so sorry about the quality and depth of field of the pics.
It wasn't until I started sorting through these, that I realised I'd spent so much time photographing the plecs, (hope I've got the correct id's Kelly) that there were only a couple of the Rays.

Oh, and this one.

These were just the ones I got shots of Kelly.
I didn't realise how active they were.
If the camera had been working properly there'd have been a lot more.

Savage pics man.
