    Hi guys,

    Anyone know of any Durban petshops with Otocinclus or Ancistrus in stock at the moment?
    Looking for a cleanup crew and can't seem to find anything other than Chinese Algae Eaters. Have tried Northlands and Nature's Petland.

    Thanks,
    Gordon

    Thanks Tilt - have sent you a mail.

    Doug - I'm busy stocking my tank so will be visiting lots of local stores over the next few weeks. Will let you know if I come across any otos.

    @doug
    You should have said you want Otocinclus!
    There was some box space available.

    I can just as easily send to KZN TASA blokes, as anywhere else separtely or combined for a single, collected delivery

    Anyone interested in Large, tankbred , Quarantined specimens can PM me

    @Gordon I saw some little albino Ancistrus up in hilcrest the other day.

    I am also looking for Otocinclus and true SAE, so will update here if I see any around.

    @TiLt, those baby Ancistrus of your look very cute!

    Awesome, how long ago was that? Definitely SAE and not CAE?

    I'm interested in those little ancistrus...only problem is I'm in Bloemfontein, free state...

    have you ever sent fish by air in and around SA?

    GOJ, Doug is right; that petshop in Old Main Rd (can't remember its name) definitely has SAE at the moment).
    Thanks for the info on the albinos, but I don't really like the look of albino fish.

    Altum, I didn't know you shipped fish to Durban. Is there a way to see a pricelist, where we collect from etc?

    Thanks!

    I ship all over SA , regularly.
    Collect at airport, which is fastest preferable method VS Door-to-door within 18-24H
    Speak to Doug, Firemanmuzz

    I suggest you PM me with your wishlist, include your email etc
    Availability changes too quick , so best you ask and I respond

    Thanks Altum! I'll definitely get in touch with you when I've decided exactly which fish I'd like to add to my tank.
