importers are not going to waste there time in getting a 'few' particular species in just cause a 'few' people would like them. ive talked to one importer an he no longer brings in malawis cichlids , as he said they take so long to sell an its just taking up room time money. this will be the same for many species that a few of you want, theres not enough market for them. an when we are lucky enough to get a few new things hardly anyone fronts up with money an makes purchases, seen it time an time again. thinking everyone on the forum is going to donate $20 towards contribution funding for new fish species to the added list is a retarded idea most people are happy with what they got or can purchase from a store already they couldn't care less about this idea. if you have the time knowledge and money setup a facility , im sure the select few will be very happy

was just watching this video if you jump to 1.51 you will see a fish that looks mbuna x aloncara , so this must happen in the wild. i know there line breed now but maybe they aren't originally 'man made'

wow awesome! its not albino tho yer? just a lighter color?

lol you can find the larvae of these in the pigs ears at animates lol just saying

or is it always aloncaras x mbuna?

not all obs do some will just be aloncara obs?

looks like its got some mbuna in it eh , nice colours tho!

yup Scutigera smithii they come into houses around when the weather gets colder i find. there evrywhere in auckland but dont often see them in the day throw a spider in for it to eat , there very aggresive from what i have seen at night

dayuuum look at that red female! are you sure lol

i use to keep bullheads with my oscars and aros , in my old tank. they got to about 45cm when i had them an pretty agro even the oscars wer scared of em. id definitely say that is a bullhead , mine were similar in colour once in the tank. i always thought they wer illegal so just kept that on the low when i use to keep em, an in the end i did put them down an grounded them up for fish berley haha no other option... anyway anyone wana buy some ill do them for $30 each :facepalm: hahahaha

man the whites frog is sweet! sorry about it

will only take a year to get that big anyway, i found that Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus will get the largest fin on most ocassions, but yer it can vary

Ive been collecting insects for many years now and hope to build nz's largest private collection. one day ill donate this to the museum as it will have alot of scientific value. anyway what im asking is if you find anything interesting small or large , an dont mind sending it to me it would be much appreciated (ill pay shipping). very intrested in some specimens from the south island as i have not had a chance to ever collect there as of yet! ill post some pictures of some of my finds to keep this thread interesting please pm me thanks yo!
