I like them very much! I've always liked silver dollars but this variety seems even nicer. <3
Hi I was wondering if anyone can recommend a place that would build custom tanks in the Cape Town/ Stellenbosch areas. Emphasis would be on...
You should never add "just" before a living creature. Perhaps we can't be sure exactly what fish "feel", but we can see how they react to stress...
Thanks mxz for the link :) I'd also like to know if they are available in South Africa. I doubt it though - there doesn't seem to be too much...
Thanks for the input Vis :) Personally I agree with avoiding cichlid route. Something not so territorial would be nice. On that note, more...

Does anyone know something about this fish, or have any experience in keeping them? I heard about them while reading the article that Viskop...
Thanks Mxz! I've considered starvation but never tried it for long enough. Since we keep other predators there is generally food to go around,...
Hey~ Wasn't too sure if I should start a new thread for this or revive this one. Sorry if I made the wrong choice! I found a useful post on...
I'm all for having a list of South African shops that sell dyed fish for boycotting purposes, as well as online shops that you can order them...

I name every fish that can be distinguished from the others. Names include: Wolfshiem, Socrates, Mephisto, Jack Mercury, Oreo, Tank, Nosy, Noel,...

Nirv was away last night, so I was in charge of our sick baby. After hearing some signature arowana splashes, I sat and watched the tank for a...
Thanks SalmonAfrica. :) What are some of the other methods you have heard of? Wimpie, as far as I've read Bichirs are very active when young, but...
Gaawie, have you purchased your bichir yet? I'd love to see pictures. :) Also, I was wondering if anyone knew at what age you can sex a...
Ah, our dear predators... <3 "They see me rollin' they're hatin' We're prowlin' We tryin' to catch 'em ridin' dirty Tryin' to catch 'em ridin'...
Watching my Raphael and my pleco fight was actually quite a spectacle. (They never hurt one another, probably because both are so armor plated.)...
The offer is there, but the tanks are Stellenbosch, an hours drive from the pond. :) I've just moved out. ^^ Yeah, I was worried about feeding...
Ah so he must be in his lazier phase of life. Definitely still a cool fish - a predator ready in ambush. It would be nice if they made bichir...
