sicj Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hi ChrisWas speaking to you the other night at the meeting regarding building a fishroom and how to keep electricity costs down. Looking to keep a mix Some tangsSome MalawiMaybe a pair of polleni. Miss breeding them and the relaxation I used to get from it. Plus you get to meet some great people in the hobby too.

Ged Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Welcome back John. As Chris has said the dynamics of the hobby has changed with rising costs coupled with fewer breeders. There are still quality fish around but these are being pressured by people unwittingly and some times deliberately selling hybrid fish through online classifieds websites.
