Title: Does anybody sell the Bethlehem Minnow?
Post by: Lush! on April 25, 2010, 07:35:55 PM
I think my Minnow is b*ggered and if I have to replace it I'd really like another Minnow rather than a Minor.

Anybody know where I get one from - or got one to sell? ? ? ?

Q used to sell them, Julie, but just looked on his website and they don't appear to be there now

I got mine from Q but I couldn't get into his webshop when I tried.  Thanks June.

If you just "refresh" when you get that odd message you get in fine - at least that's what I always do  :D

is it worth getting in tough with bethlehem to see if they have a nozzle or something you could replace  if its a stuck glass problem  ?........you are such a fine advert for their product over here ...... might be worth a blag you never know ...........

Its suddenly got much worse George - its like 2 jets on the other side are blocked now, so I have a permanently reducing flame.  I've poked and prodded and unfastened it all and shaken it upside down and tapped and bashed (lightly!) and sworn and tried it all again - and its just b*ggered  :(

That's a kind of idea Sarah but I don't think there is anything replaceable; the Bethlehem people don't know me from Adam; and to be honest, its been used almost every day for about 2 and a half years with very little TLC so I reckon it must be due for retirement.

... I'm thinking I might get something a little bigger ...  ;)

I would try an email to Bethlehem Julie - Its got to be worth a try.

I have a Bethlehem Betta which I love - I'd be heartbroken if he got jammed. But other than Q I don't know of a European supplier.

Mine came from Frantz in the States - they are much cheaper over there even with postage & customs.
