The two foot long fish, which has a microchip implanted behind its gill to track it, is native to Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore although this one has been specially bred in order to achieve its remarkable colour.But, as the owner of the Romford Road shop Neil Chavda explains, finding the fish a new home is about far more than just finding someone who is willing to cough up the cash.“We don’t want any old Tom, Dick or Harry coming to buy it,” he said, “It is like if you have a daughter and a guy wants to marry her, you would want to know what they do and how they are going to support her. “

You need to find things out, especially with specialist fish, including how big the fish tank is and what the filtration system is like. You want to make sure that it is going to go to a home not just to a guy who has got a few quid.”The fish, which has been nicknamed “Bin” for short as its variety is known as a bintang super red, is nicknamed the dragon fish in China.In Chinese mythology, it is believed that if you keep an arowana in your house, is he is happy then your business will prosper. Bin has become quite an attraction to customers visiting the shop, which also stocks much cheaper aromana varieties.“He is red but every scale is clearly defined in gold.” “He looks at you and tries to work out what you are thinking.”It is not the first time that Manor Aquatics has stocked an unusual (and pricey) animal. A shark used to be up for sale - and was nicknamed Belinda “because she had eyes like Belinda Carlisle”.Address:Balfour House390-398 High Road, Town CentreIlford, IG1 1TLMap:Region:Town Centre(Ilford)Nearest Station:Seven KingsCategory:Pet Shops & Pet SuppliesTelephone:Opening Hours:Mon:09:30 - 19:00Tue:09:30 - 19:00Wed:09:30 - 19:00Thu:09:30 - 19:00Fri:09:30 - 19:00Sat:10:30 - 17:30Sun:10:30 - 16:00

Phil Doleman & Ian Emmerson Theaterland Promotions present Phil Doleman & Ian Emmerson Old-time, good-time, ragtime blues from Phil (vocals, ukulele & tenor banjo) and Ian (acoustic guitar & harmony vocals), featuring the songs of blues, jazz, jug band and hokum legends such as Blind Blake, Jelly Roll Morton, The Mississippi Sheiks, Robert Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller and more. Between them they have over 30 years gigging experience, touring all over the UK and venturing into Europe and the US, in venues ranging from tiny clubs to huge festival stages.

Their almost telepathic tightness and groove makes it hard not to tap your feet, and their song choices are designed to raise a smile. If you think that blues is all about misery, these two will change your mind! ‘Ian’s lusciously thick and choppy guitar parts add both a solid rhythm and a chunky footing for Phil’s picking whether it be on the banjo or ukulele… packing more gravel than you’ll find at the bottom of a fish tank into his powerful blues voice, it really is a great pleasure to see the UK’s ukulele maestro back with his musical sparring partner and in fine form with it!’  ‘Phil and Ian have regressed to the glory days, stomping out 1920s anthems like Blind Blake’s ‘Police Dog Blues’ and Tampa Red’s ‘Can’t Get Enough Of That Stuff’, as if fuelled by slugs of corn liquor.’  ‘some of the best music I’ve heard in a long time’ Dan Phelps, US Delta blues artist Ticket are now on sale – book yours here.
