    Any one seen some decent plants or a large variety of Sp in the Cape town area ? Took a drive to 4 shops today and to say it was piss poor is an understatement .

    Shops are pretty upsetting now. Panorama petshop had good plants when I was last there, much better than most.

    Also have a peek at

    Plants are all that place is good for. Fish are alright but tanks are crazy overstocked and seen a lot of ich there :(

    Awesome site. All the good stuff is out of stock though. Lol. I'll have to keep my eye on there.

    I've also been to a few. Very disappointed. The only place that has anything remotely decent is N1.

    I met Smittied this afternoon. Nice Chap...is currently selling his two adult geophagus on Tasa. Just missed out on a whole bunch of his dwarf cichlids.
    Might make a swop of clown loaches for some of my Discus. Were in for a cold Sunday....keep warm.
