coelacanth Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 all the popular bichirs are farm-bred I believe. That is why they are so cheap in overseas shops :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 No worries Duncan7 8) It was a case of having to be edited. That wasn't the reason why it was edited David R, others use this forum and follow the threads also, even tho you took no offense others could have taken offense to the term that was used, it's a case of having to think of all members since it is an open public forum.
