    I wanna import fish cause my local area is really not the best at prices and fish choices would like to know what all needs to be done and will it be worth it depending on the order size, or to do it myself or use a company to do it for me any advice would mean a lot to me. hope all have an awesome weekend enjoy

    Importing fish is a very costly and time consuming exercise. If you do a search on the Forum you will find many discussions in the past.

    If there aren't any decent fish shops in your area, perhaps do a weekend trip to one of the bigger cities (Jhb, or Pretoria) nearest you, and do a "fish shop crawl" and see if you can get some decent fish that way

    Perhaps rather try breeding and supplying?

    Like i had to travel nearly 200 km to get decent or any plants in Jhb Klerksdorp is about 100 km further away. Our 2 lps just does not stock plants. Or decent fish. Mollies, platties, guppies, pegansus, pleco's and a lot of goldfish, that's about what's to offer.

    try getting companies in SA to ship to you... a lot of them do it for about R100-R150 extra.
    One place is Wazeers aquarium.
    Hope that helps and good luck:)
