    Now, here is the deal..... I'll be conservative and say there are at least 10,000 Guppies, 200 Platies and Mollies, 2,000 Swords, and 100 Convicts of which at least 80 are adults.....

    I will not ship any amount of them, so it is on a collect yourself basis..... bring your own containers.... and catch them all yourself, BUT!!!... make sure you take every single one of them.....

    My fish are hardier than the average, (as commented by everyone getting fish from me) as I've kept them in outside ponds since 1995.... there are no signs of inbreeding or defects of any nature..... they are used to swimming around with newly born fry in their tanks (so will just multiply without eating their fry)...... They are so prolific, that everyone keeping fish in my area, are now breeding them, which has saturated my market, but I still have a daily invasion of customers wanting more..... (without even advertising)

    And a top down view of my Swords

    I need to empty these ponds, as I've now gone over to breeding Angels, BN's, Kribs, Cory's and the likes....... So, if you're interested, (and able to collect)..... let's talk..... PM for more details, and/or arrangements....... Absolute bargain at R1,800 for everything.

    What type of ponds did you use, and how did you keep them outside in the winter? I know it is as hot as hell there by you but it had to drop in the winter to maybe the teens right?

    Oops!... I forgot to mention.... I'm chucking in 3 Astatos and plenty of Hornwort as well, & since we're going to be spending some time together while you do the catching,..... make sure you bring along your favourite refreshments.... I'll take care of the fire and the meat & Salads.!.....
