Okay as promised a few shots from my fishroom, sorry about the 4ft thats cloudy just vacuumed the gravel and water change. There are some other tanks as well, but some BL fish in there. Didn't know about the black list till I joined this forum. Have a number more to set up, just waiting for my stand to come for my twelve 2 ft tanks that are sitting on the floor right now.

 

Hi All,

I'm from Newlands I'm currently breeding HM bettas. This group will be nice to help each another, I know it's hard to source stuff being in Durban so hopefully being in this group we can help each other.

Hi all

Just getting back into the hobby after two years up in JHB. Man its good to be back. Am setting up a five foot mbuna tank and am desperately looking for pseudotropheus flavus but to no avail. If anyone has any or knows anyone who has some I would be grateful, and am also looking for some realistic rock 3D backgrounds as well! I am based in PMB! Sleepy hollow it aint.

 

@TankMaster, I'm an ex Durbanite, living in Cape Town for the past 15yrs, does that count me as KZN.... or am I stuck with the Capetonians???

 

@Macmish. . . hahaha you're an exception... but if you ever come back to kzn, bring those discus with you!

 

Guys, I will be getting some Otocinclus Affinis within the next 2 weeks. If you guys want to piggy back on my order, you are welcome to. R45/ea - Min order 5. This will cover shipping to my location and guaranteed live arrival to your tank. You're basically sharing a box with me. I can arrange meeting at a central point to get fish to you.

According to my source, these fish have been wild caught and raised on spirulina foods for the past few months. No algae required. This will also explain the price. Not just wild caught and shipped.

This is a once off thing so take advantage of this if you're keen. Not profiting from it so this is just a heads up. Just to put this in perspective and clarify the price... If you order 10 otto from a LFS for R25 thats R250 + R250 for shipping thats R500 , which equates to R50/fish. Keep in mind, these fish have NOT been in holding for 3+ months and are not guaranteed to be alive when they arrive since they are wild caught.


I'm still getting some, either way Just trying to get this fish into Durban tanks.
