HAD Zebra plecs, they came thru by accident, and while i was in the store, a guy came in and bought all 6. I dread to know how much he paid!

their discus are incredible tho!

All fish get on well except the Krib, who is at present is in a another tank which we call a "sin bin" tank. He is playing up again. Kriby," but, but mum I just don't like them mollys. They eat all the food."
And the Synodontis Catfish ate 14 little male mollys that I put in that tank. They where mutants and wouldn't grow. But still I loved them. Catfish: "but mum I'm a growing boy and I got hungry". (so be aware when putting Synodontis
Eupterus in with fish that can fit into their mouths).

Urm, well, Things like this usually work better if you start off by answeing your own question first

I'm 24, Female, North end of Sydney.

My fish come from all over the place... LFS's in Hornsby, Windsor, Penrith, Rockdale & a dozen places inbetween, as well as trades / adoptions from FP members & friends, some i picked up in QLD, one that got shipped from Melb... all over the place really.

I am on the Mornington Peninsula Vic 75klm south of Melb.

Mainly a special trip 1&1/4 hrs drive each way. I usualy call into two that day.

The is one Aqu within minutes from home very pricy and not a good selection or service, also a pet shop which usually has some good Anubias very cheap.

I have never bought on the internet or private swaps.

I'm 25 male on the Sunshine Coast, QLD (beautiful one day and perfect the next!)


I get my fish from anywhere that looks decent. I used to live in Bundaberg(home of the Bundy RUM!) and so when I go up there I always seem to come home with fish as I know the lady that owns one of them.

OMG yes: St George is like fishy heaven on earth

Room after room of tanks of fish, great prices, enthusiastic/knowledgeable staff and just about every species you can think of out here (and if they haven't got something in when you go, they'll get it in for you).

Well worth the drive
