    Hi all. So I did all the research like a good boy and finally decided that a BGK is exactly the fish that I want as the focal point of my tank. I closed my shop early and raced to the lps that had 3 of them when I was there on Thursday. Lo and behold... 1 sold, 1 died, 1 jumped.... :cry:

    Anyone in East London know of one looking for a home? I don't do the whole "delayed gratification" thing very well.

    Saw some being floated in a baggie in a pet shop in Vereeniging very beautiful, didn't know they can jump :confused:.
    Good luck finding one.

    Yeah.... That is a pity. I would pay a premium for one that has a healthy track record. Apparently many of the imported ones have issues.

    Nope, not yet. Do any of them ship fish? I think I'd rather wait for summer though, before doing an overnight ship. The cold could be an issue, no?

    Yeah.... That would be super awesome if you could. The East London shops would probably help if they could, but it's such a small market segment here, that I think they kinda get second dibbs at everything. When I was keeping marines it was easy..... I used to only keep the self caught stuff, so no worries.... Haha
