We do ship.....but I guess it isn't really worth your while as the shipping will cost more than the fish :D

Hey Zoom - you can always come to WET COLD WINDY Cape Town for a holiday :)

Or you could order 500 angels - make the shipping worthwhile :) :)

very nice!

what are you feeding these?

veegal
19-07-2009, 10:14
Thanks!

We feed newly hatched brine shrimp three times a day. Once they are about 3 weeks old we start introducing Dirks Granules #1 in small quantities in addition to the brineshrimp. We slowly increase the size of the granules as they get older, add some crushed flake food (Omega One) but still continue 'treating' them with brineshrimp as well.

Very nice pics!! I really like angels. I have a breeding pair, just never thought about breeding them and raising the fry...

Maybe i should give it a bash.

Awesome! I'll chat to you about that as I'm finding it more and more difficult to get any due to the current shortage. And yes, I want the brineshrimp not the other BS :D
