hey guys i am from Durban ,near pinetown .i keep red phantoms,balloon ram and neon tetras for now .just started re-stocking my tank again .any Durban guys breed rams

 

Hey @sick -lid man! Welcome!

Guys, I'm really trying to be proactive here and I'm trying to get all the KZN members acquainted. There's been a lack of interest in the hobby recently and its really sad. Most don't know proper fish care and are too afraid to ask for help. Lets get acquainted!

There could be someone in KZN who keeps the same species you do. Lets spread the knowledge and learn from each other.

Our list is short, but has grown since the initiation of this thread. Here's a list of some of the guys in KZN.

If you're not on the list, just make a post here and tell us about your tank, fish and your interests.

Hi guys, I'm from Westville north, mainly interested in the planted tank side of the hobby with some community fish now days. But have kept fish for a little over 15 years.

Cheers
Greg

 

No fish currently. I'm in Durban North right now, but spend most of my year in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape. I have some spare equipment/decor and a helpful hand if anyone needs, but can't do much in the way of fish. Let me know if you need anything.

Regards,

 

Hi all, I'm from Durban in the Hillcrest area. Just recently started keeping fish, buily my first 3ft tank a little while ago and immediately realised I wanted bigger so I'm busy setting up my new 5ft tank, should be ready in about a month and a half.
I'm mainly interested in cichlids, and have 6 of the guys at the moment.
Here are a few pics of my tank and the canopy and cabinet I did :

 

Hi Guys, I'm from Camperdown. Have 22 tanks at the moment, ranging from 1ft to 4 fts. Various different fish currently been kept, such as swords, corys, white clouds, various catfish, gouramis, malawians, albino kribs and a few odds and ends.

Regards Shaun

 

Nice list there Shaun! Any pics yet?

 

Will get some pictures up soon.

 

hi. i am from durbs as well. just getting back in to the hobby again after moving back here. just got my self a juewl vision 450. in the process of setting it up. thinking of going the root of a planted tank this time. any ideas?

 

hey @dash! Welcome to the forum!

Planted tanks are amazing but can be a lot of work to maintain and get right.

Search the planted tank section for info on lighting, substrate, ferts and additives as well as CO2 options.

Depending on how much you want to spend, you can go low tech and keep a few species like Rotala, Java fern, Ecinodorus and Crypts...just to name a few.

If you want to spend a lot, you can do a iwagumi, amano or dutch setup (Google)

PM me if you need help

Here's a pic of my setup

Using Seachem Flourite, Seachem Flourish, Seachem Potassium, Seachem Excel. My tank size is 40L and is running 18W CFL lighting. This setup cost me around R2000 with filtration. No CO2! This is classified as a low tech setup.

hi tm. thanks for the info. where did you get all your seachem products from that you mentioned? pm me thx

 

I got everything you see in that pic, excluding the plants and decor from @Altum. (Lighting, substrate,chemicals and additives + filter + filter media)

He can supply you with seachem stuff.

@Sean J can hook you up with ADA pressurized CO2 as well as ADA Aquasoil, if you choose to go with a soil substrate.

Plants, you can get here in Durban. Keep in contact with me. I never pay more than R20/pot for plants.
