    Hi all,I'm trying to get a starter culture of microworms, and am looking for decent crowntail bettas to breed. I'm in Amanzimtoti but can organise to collect anywhere in the Durban/PMB area, I'm also quite happy to pay postage on top of sale price for worms from further afield. Would prefer to see/collect fish myself though :)Please PM me or post here and I can PM you if you can help!And thanks to Rory for giving this newb permission to post outside classifieds, sorry can't get this blackberry to "tag" name...Thanks guys!Lisa

    The MWPS does have a Representative in the KZN area - @Wally, can you help out?

    If not @madfishbreeder, send me a pm and we can set you up with one of the newer generation Microworm cultures. They are free to pre-approved applicants, but I must warn you, due to the strict Breeding Program @Trevor Pleco and myself have put these guys through, selectively breeding and training them, they have become quite a demanding bunch, and they NEVER keep quiet. I have resorted to teaching my cultures songs so they sing now, its better than worm talk. . .

    Thanks Marco, am currently chatting by PM to member who is going to send me a culture, no names mentioned for fear of MWPS Mafia!!! (PM's only has not posted on this thread). Once I'm established would appreciate any tips on training regimes, my dog + cat are well schooled so prefer all residents of my house educated! And I would like to apply for MWPS membership as another kzn representative, however I'm having a little trouble with the application form I found on another thread - I certainly won't be taking anyone's DAUGHTERS out, is there another form available which details rules for taking out members' sons? Preferably twin sons, I like to get my money's worth when paying for a date...!BTW do your worms know any of the routines from Joe's Apartment? Excellent cabaret stuff :)Lisa

    @nadfishbreeder

    Wow, you ask a lot from these poor gentle creatures! Cabaret nogal!
    At present I have them learning the words to some Elvis song's. They heard him on the Radio and whenever I opened the lid to their apartment they'd all start screaming "Elvis! Elvis! Elvis!" Drove me insane so I relented and the screaming has since stopped.
    As far as an application is concerned. . . Since Tropics is such a male chauvinist hobby. . .we have neglected compiling applications form for lady applicants. I will HAVE to take this up with the founder of the MWPS, Trevor Pleco (who as of late seem to have disappeared). Till then count yourself lucky and also regarded as the first female member of this great association

    MWPS for Governance!!

    Well thank you! :) membership accepted. I shall be sure to raise many a culture of emancipated braless all-girl microworms to balance out this chauvanism! First song they learn shall be "sisters are doing it for themselves"!Still hunting for crowntails tho, might be in luck depending on what my lfs can get next week...Lisa

    Also have a chat to Bryan @JungleAquatics, they had some awesome Betta's recently. Sure he could ship or get a lift via @Slojo to you. Wow, only now realize we have quite a network on TASA. . .should start smuggling. . .

    Now now, no "blacklisting" of any kind!!! Haha. Must be a MWPS code of honour somewhere? I'm going to see what lfs can offer, if no luck will contact Jungle and see if they can get some crowntails for me. Also keen on doubletails. Those halfmoons are stunning but not what I want for breeding. TTYL!Lisa
