    My husband wants to import fish from the Philippines but we have no idea where to start and how it works. Any advice?

    Move to the Philippines is an easier process - might even be more rewarding.

    If you have space for at least 100kg of fish consider it and go through the miles of paper work or ask your lfs to place a smaller order for you if they order from the same supplier.

    There have been quite a few threads on this topic recently.

    Unless you plan on importing hundreds of fish, it's not worth it.
    The costs will be high. And the paperwork a nightmare.

    Then we will rather get our fish store to order for us.

    We are actually looking for Flowerhorns. But some really nice ones. Anybody know of any breeders in SA who specialise in Flowerhorns?
