Re: [GSAS-Member] seen any small shubunkins recently?

Oasis Water Gardens down in the Georgetown area of Seattle has always
had a large selection of shubunkin and sarasas of all sizes as long as
I've been going there.  It's worth giving them a call to check their
stock (http://www.oasiswatergardens.com).  Another place I'd check
would be King's Discus in the Int'l District; their stock of goldfish
constantly changes over time but there's half a chance that they would
have some smaller shubunkin also.
