Good Fish retailers?

[gilly]

Can any one recomend any LFS's that have malawi cichlids in stock.

I am from New Plymouth and can't find any around here but would be willing to travel Hamilton or wanganui to get some decent fish.

I have contacted Holywood FF who said they would ship but I would rather take a look first.

Thanks Ian

I have just stopped breeding because im going overseas but will be up and running again in 3-5months when I am back..

What are you looking for malawi wise - peacocks, haps, mbuna?

Be very cafeful buying from petshops sight unseen, I haven't been to hollywoods for a long time but there fish only come from the wholesale list and who knows what your getting if you've paid for them including shipping you can't exactly send them back if they're dodgy crosses or sick.. I saw on tradme the other day someone selling a pair of johannii, the male wasn't johannii and the female was a red zebra they came from hollywoods as a pair of johannii

I am planning on keeping mbuna but may also keep 1 type of peacock in with them.

I will not be setting up the tank til late sept as we are moving then so will not be ready to stock it until late october anyway.

What sort do you breed and when do you think you will be up and running again.

I breed and keep all sorts..

Heres a post I made on my tank most of these fish I have/will breed in the future (obviously take them out and breed them seperatly)..
