    iv never seen it for sale in pet stores your best bet is from someone on the site,theres usually someone with some to spare just not me....yet i managed to find a small piece floating around the tank after the water change yesterday(dankie Vader) going to try and bring it back to life.

    There's usually a lot of people on the forum who can help. There's also a few members in the WestRand who may have, but not sure if they have enough to spare... @Lizid, @hein24, @ves I have also seen some on occasions at the LPS in Hillfox.

    As @Zoom said, you can try the LFS at Hillfox, got mine from them but did not last long in my tank thanks to my plecs and the cichlids thought it was a nice snack to them. Hope you do get some, all of the best. Can pop in at Jungle Aquatics just down the road from Hillfox as well.
