9 spined sticklebacks

[davemp]

I have kept 3 spine sticklebacks in aquariums for many years and would now like to try breeding 9 spine sticklebacks. I understand they are harder to breed? Does anyone know where I can purchase any? I live in East London. Any advice would be appreciated.

Welcome to the form. I'm sure one of the other members will be able to help you out. But have you tried asking your LFS to order them in for you?

Is it out of the question to catch some? My understanding was that they're native UK wide, but not sure how the law works in terms of collecting from the wild.

Hi all,

My understanding was that they're native UK wide

They are, <"they mainly occur"> where the water is both slightly brackish and hard.
