    Hmmm.... If Dolphin's stock has been delayed... then I would think that everyone else might be having the same problem.

    Patience is a very big time tester with keeping fish! That I've learned.

    nope, not many if any importers import livestock from europe with most imports coming from Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

    Hi Riyadh. You can get the Cyn Afra species right there in Cape Town. More than likely F1's as Neil has the best selection of Wild caught Malalwi's, I think, in the country. Around 160 species that he is busy breeding with. Spent a night with him last week. Aquaterra is the name. Situated on the Bottleray road in Kraaifontein.

    Right I paid a visit here yesterday, I was very dissapointed to say the least. I expected to see lots and lots of malawis, which i I didnt. There were a few tanks and 2 or 3 with wild caught and f1's but those were those malawis that eat the others and grow very larger. There was tons of guppies, tetras and khoi/goldfish. I asked the dude if there are any other malawis, or in the ponds outside, and he just mumbled, i asked him again and he said come back in june!!! not a very pleasant visit, I hope Dolphin has some extra fish for me when his shipment comes in
