Hello, Just wondering if anyone else out there is breeding any Malawi's and looking to sell some. I've got my tank up and running now and am looking to start stocking it. If you have any P. Soulosi, yellow labs, demasoni, haps/peacocks for sale, and are in the Auckland area, please let me know. Thanks

Hey people, Do any of you here have sand as a substrate? If so, where did you get it? I'm thinking of getting some from an east coast beach up north, do any of you see any problems with this? (assuming precautions are taken to properly clean/sterilize the sand).

Thank-you all for your responses. I am currently in the process looking for tanks to buy, and I will be looking at buying fish in mid-jan. I will be in touch with you who have told me what you have for sale then. Thanks!

Thank-you for your help. I'm hoping to buy a tank and filter within the next few weeks so I can have it cycled and ready for the new year, so I wont be buying any africans until mid jan I'd say (I like to cycle a new tank with something like zebra danios) Some of the cichlids i'm after are.... Aulonacara baenschi " stuatgranti " masoni " maulana Protomelas spilonotus* Copadichromis trimaculatus Pseudotropheus solusi " socolifi Metraclime estherae Cynotilapia afra Labidochromis caerulus S. Fryeri (electric blue) Are any of these species available in NZ/Do any of you guys breed these? I'm going to get at least a 4 ft tank, hopefully bigger. One thing i've learned from africans is that you can never be big enough or over-filtered... I guess my goal is to have 2 colonies of mbuna, and 2 or 3 breeding groups of Haps/peacocks. Thanks

Yea, I've since moved since creating this account back when I first moved here, guess I should change that... Thank-you very much for your quick reply. How do I get in touch with this Greg guy to order a tank? I try to get in touch with those people you've mentioned and see what they have to offer. Thanks

Hello, I moved here from the States 5 years ago and figure its about time to set up another african cichlid tank. A recent visit to a local fish store has made me realize how spoilt for choice I was back there, both in terms of fish available and low prices. Can anyone here give me some advice on where to buy an inexpensive tank, filter etc, as well as where the best variety of Malawi cichlids for sale are? I live in the Auckland area. Also, have any of you ordered you equipment online to save money? Any input is very much appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I have recently moved to the Wairarapa from California and I am planning on starting a new fish tank. I have kept africans for many years, but I have had a diffucult time locating them in New Zealand. I am willing to drive a good distance to get some quality fish, so do any of you know where some good lfs's are for both malawis and tangs? Any input is much appreciated.
