Have you looked further down this list? There were three places selling them a couple of weeks back, one in York, all were charging more than £150 though.

yeah, ive searched the forum, most seem to be around 200 these days, just ever so slightly out of my price range, by the time ive paid for the tank, filter and heater etc im left with £150 for the animal, i remember seeing them in shops for 100-120 quid last year so i dont know why the sudden increase in price,

The price increase is due to the fact they are rarely exported now.
