    Hey guys and girls...

    I will be importing frieze dried Australian Black Worms for sale to the fish keeping enthusiasts in South Africa. If you have never heard about them, please check out this link: http://blackworms.com.au/TA/

    The worms are extremely nutritious and only loose 5 - 10% of their nourishment during the freeze drying process. They are extremely good for Discus, Cichlids, and any other fish really. All you need to do is soak them in tank water for about 5 minutes and pop them in your tank. Some people just pop them in the tank as well...


    Crude Fat 13.87
    Crude Fibre 0.24
    Moisture 5%

    Nutritional facts are always worked out on a dry weight basis .

    Also check this out: http://forum.simplydiscus.com/forumdisplay.php?f=179

    Some guys at Simply Discus have reviewed it.

    Anyone who is interested, please let me know. I am hoping to place the order this month to receive early next month. I will let everyone know pricing soon, I'm just going to make sure I get the stuff before getting hopes up.

    PS: I have spoken to Rory about becoming a sponsor of TASA once I get all the final approvals and such in place, I will apply to become a sponsor. I am just testing the water at the moment.

    Ok... this is the price list:

    Admins, if this is deemed inappropriate, please remove it and I will become a sponsor...


    These are the prices for the Australian Black Worms.

    There are certain products/sizes that I will only import on order, and those will be the 100g and 200g bags of cubed and loose worms. I am adding them here, just in case someone does want one with the first shipment. I want to place the order soon, so if you could get your order in by Sunday, that would be very cool.

    PACKED IN PLASTIC CONTAINERS

    5gm [loose] R65.00 each
    10gm [loose] R80.00 each
    10gm [cubed] R80.00 each


    PACKED IN SEALED PLASTIC BAGS

    10gm [ loose and cubed] R75.00
    50gm [ loose and cubed] R200.00
    100gm [ loose and cubed] R330.00
    200gm [ loose and cubed] R600.00

    Please note, that because of the fluctuating currency rates, these prices can change. I will notify everyone if this occurs.

    Kind regards

    Sean

    Please note that these prices are not inclusive of postage and packaging.

    Look in his initial post:

    His prices also explain it 5-10grams in plastic containers or 10-200grams loose in a sealed plastic bag
