aymenz Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi Guys,As we all know that some Cichlid Enthusiats are located interstate and if someone from Sydney would like to buy cichlids from them this would involve freighting the fish and vice versa.Is it possible to get all the required information of how this is done from whoever done it before?And the result of such process?I have some intersted buyers and would like to know what is the process?Thanks,Aymen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
