That is what I hate about travelling overseas - can't bring anything (anything really worthwhile: i.e. alive) home. Those Heckels in your fourth...
Thanks so much, keep em coming! I'm just down the road from Something Exotic and Hillcrest Pets; for the rest I'm planning to plot out a route to...
Thanks @MattLamm!
Hey everyone, I'm going to be visiting my in-laws near Durban for a week, and would like to know what shops you recommend in the area. I'm already...
Really sorry man. No guarantee that you could have saved them anyway, but if you have similar problems again get hold of me or one of the discus...
LOL at "black tail tinfoil barb"! Fortunately what you have here is a Tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona); this one is a mutation that is mostly called...
Whatever meds you get make sure they're suitable for scaleless fish. Blue Panaques can deal with high temperatures; I think you should be able to...
I use geyser water for my discus after seeing a large number of people on Simply (including some of the purist brigade) saying they do so. Mind...
@JJFury Yes, I'm holding thumbs frantically like a mad person :laugh:
Hey @wolf, got here from the thread about non-sponsor advertising - seems like it was the link that was the problem rather than naming the shop....
I'm now also desperately seeking Toxotes blythii (see @JJFury's thread Finally! Archerfish!) The most likely possibility is that they will...
Mine in Newlands is quite hard, I'd say 7.5 but maybe I'm being optimistic. Sometimes in my tanks it tests up to 8. That said I have my discus and...
I haven't noticed any problems lately with saying "I saw a tank of X fish at Y shop". I think they draw the line at contact details. We have a...
Congratulations!!! DEFINITELY take the water level down before sanding - I cracked my 5-footer scraping paint off the outside while it was full....
I'm trying to come up with something funny to say without being blasphemous... :confused: I have absolutely no idea. Maybe you had fertilised...
Such a sweet creature!
They do like being in groups. I'll see if I can find this article I read the other day.
@MattLamm I saw that thread, so incredibly gorgeous. I am now obsessed with these fish too and will not rest till I find some more for myself. If...
LOL I'm green with envy too! I do think they're blythii, and I wish I had gone and got the other two lol :love:
Yeah if you get puffers you basically have to have a puffers-only tank. A few other fish like otocinclus can go with them usually but not a lot....
Separate names with a comma.
