Ironically, my interest in perhaps becoming one of the people who do ecological research and conservation may lead to my demise because of that...
I think a theme is best, as it would make the judging process a bit easier. Every now and then we could have an open competition as the first one...
Now that sounds ridiculous, but the ecological damage that can be done by introducing fish to another body of water is generally a more serious...
Girlfriends sometimes work with fish... My first words to Kattz were "I keep tropical fish." And then she got a pond. And a fish tank. And I...
What's the official view on removing indigenous fish that have expanded beyond their natural boundaries within a country and may be threatening...
I had an oscar with some vallisneria that just happened to be in the tank and I left it to grow or get eaten, I didn't mind. One day I watched as...
Welcome! As you can see, I like oscars too. But I like lots of fish so that's not saying much. Air wolves? Thats the most creative name I've...

It must be really hard to make it as an honest and genuinely concerned fish shop owner. Unfortunately that is a reality with most businesses...

We don't keep a redtail, but if we ever have a large enough tank, we would definitely look into getting one. Kattz kept Corys in the past and...
My first tank was 15 years ago, it had some plastic plants at first, an ancient type of filter, gemstones collected from the Scratch Patch as a...
As a fan of catfish, this gets a major thumbs-up!

I don't think so... The one in Cape Town is in Klapmuts - about 30km down the N1. Still a bit far for you guys though...
