yellow Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Sutherland (Pet Care Direct)I can't comment on the Cyaneus because I haven't seen them, but I can say that the above has a surprisingly good range of cichlids due to them buying fish from local breeders.a book by norm halliwell Norm has a book?

DFishkeeper Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I'm still keeping the M joanjohnsonae (aka exasperatus) and Melanochromis parallelus, don't want to see either of these disappear from the hobby here. I'm also continuing to keep and refine my strains of electric yellows, maingano, hongi and saulosi. I'm also keeping some nice Lithobates, Dimi comps and Taiwan Reef, not mbuna I know, but also fish I don't want to see disappear .Cheers, Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullyYellow Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Wow I'm liking this topic already.Only breeding the basics electric yellows, cobalt blues and some crabros.Demasoni used to be low in supply and people were charging up to $20 each for 3cm fry.I've only recently seen daktari and surprisingly at City Garden Aquarium in Greenacre. :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
