I don't know. Phone Dorset Discus (they're on the internet). They ship fish. Ask them which courier they use. You might look into how much a day return costs on the train. It would be a long day, but it might work out cheaper and you could keep an eye on the fish.
Markymole - I've never been very good at sexing these things. Even when someone is pointing out the differences. I could try and sex it, but I would only be able to describe what I see, like it has a fairly short face. I don't think it's a snubnose, but then I've never seen one of those. But remember also, I was looking at it aginst that giant male. It's bound to pale by comparison! It was a fairly straight taper looking at it from above, but I wasn't sure if I was imagining that it was slightly thicker between the pectoral and the back fins (can't remember the name!
), which I THINK is a female-ish shape. I'm really not sure. I tried to see if the pectoral fins were "rounder" as some people swear by that, but I always struggle to see a difference. <sigh>
Anyway, Neo asked first so if he wants them both, then I kinda got go that way. If you want to discuss it with Neo, that's your call.
Hope it all works out.
