Well I suppose if you keep it and tell no one than it should be okay? See all evil, hear all evil don't tell a soul and all that as the saying goes...
Look at youtube very interesting videos, I really won't mind having one myself.

 

No thanks. Won't take a chance. Until I can find out more info I won't touch them.

Why whould you want them will they will eat anything else in your tank. Including their own kin

 

I suppose that's the responsible route to take.

 

Very illegal and because they are importing and selling them, also gonna get all shrimp banned with no chance of getting clearance to keep them legally in the future.

 

Is there anyone we could report this shop to? I would have hoped for more from this place. Very well known.

Maybe try the Department of Environmental Affairs?
They have a hotline you can call to anonymously leave complaints.

Yes please report them ASAP! They are going to screw up the shrimp legalization for us big time.

 

LFS in Benoni got some nice stock:

2x Shovelnose catfish {Small sized}
Allot of different Sized Angels.
Some Beautiful Rainbow fish {Different Kinds}
Some bronze, pepper & Albino Cory's
& Many more

Also busy setting up a massive marine tank that They've started filling yesterday when I passed by.

 

Seen small 7.5cm jardini Arowana around lately

 

At fish for Africa in Pomona http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/distichodus-sexfasciatus/

 

*takes deep breath*
Animal Kingdom Hillfox: Betta imbellis (a bit dodgy-looking, but still!!!)

Dorry: Very interesting-looking Gastromyzon sp. (sold as G. punctulatus). Danio erythromicron.

Pet Stop: Yellow-tailed eel (a spiny eel, like tyre-track or peacock, but it only gets to about 7 inches!)
Hara jerdoni. Drapefin barbs. Dario dario. Normal-coloured panchax (like Golden Wonders, but wild-type) Non-dyed glassfish! A couple of SA bumblebee cats (very small, very well-hidden). Zebra blennies (brackish). Mudskippers and spotted puffers (ditto). Knight gobies (also brackish). Some other sort of large goby, I have no idea what it is, called "silver goby".

Aqua Empire: Hara jerdoni. Brycinus longipinnis. Boraras maculatus (or possibly B. naevus?). B. brigittae (only 3). Rasbora espei. Brevibora dorsiocellata. Spotted headstander (only 1). L66. Sewellia (only 2). Boehlkea fredcochui.

Animal Kingdom Atterbury: Polypterus palmas (I think they really are palmas, they certainly aren't senegalus.)

 

They are Mountain Rock Goby. Awesome fish. Cleans algea with a pair of Mick Jagger lips like no other fish can.

Some interesting stock at Pet a Pond as well. Fire Eels, Tyre Track Eels, Whiptail Catfish, Sole and some other interesting fish that I can't remember the names of.
