Cichlid Pete Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi Guys,I'm new to cichlids and visited Labyrinth Aquarium today.I would just like to say that I was very impressed with Andrew and his aquarium.I walked out with 12 different haps and peacocks and couldn't be happier.I'm glad to have joined this forum to find out about Labyrinth Aquarium and all the other helpful info.For all those that haven't visited Labyrinth, it is well worth the effort.ThanksPeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFishkeeper Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yep, that's what you find when an enthusiastic hobbyist runs an aquarium shop instead of a corporation. We all need to be supporting guys like Andrew so they can continue to operate.Cheers, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astochristo Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Andrew is great! I'm from Canberra and squeezed in a quick trip to his store once while I was in Sydney. It's an incredible shop and Andrew is very knowledgable and seems like a cool guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krellious Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 hard to leave without buying something or tjinking how I can rearrange my tanks to fit more haps or tangs:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocks Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Must admit I am a big fan of Andrew and his knowledge of cichlids, when ever I can get down to Sydney I visit Labyrinth and always seem to go home with another quality group of fish.

jhonerick Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yep, Andrew is a very nice guy to visit and have a chat with. And yes indeed, very hard to leave the shop without buying any fish after seeing what he have in for sale. He will always try to find fish that you want if he don't have it. Very pleased with all the fish I bought from Andrew.....Mario...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoconr Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm also new to cichlids (about six months) I've found this forum great. Good people and even better information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buccal Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Placidochromis phenochilus 'mdoka'. (white lips) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simy696 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 yeah that's it tys. nice looking fish and busy in the tank. may get him a partner are they usually expensive to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi sand diver Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The thing I like about white lip mdoka is that the females are just as colourful as the males, so if you have a colony they are all bright blue. In terms of price you are looking at a similar price to other less common malawi haps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern1 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Mdoka price will go for $12-18 3-5cm depending on availability at the time ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simy696 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 ahh tys for info myne is pushing 10cm and could be a female then I guess. mind you it was the biggest and blueist he had in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malawi sand diver Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 They are the hardest malawi hap to sex by site and for some reason they are a bit tricky to vent sex aswell. I've kept a lot of haps before and they are my favorite. They look a bit like a marine fish aswell. And coming back to the thread topic, I reckon we are lucky to have Labyrinth Aquariums, best in Australia for cichlids - so if you like cichlids and live in Sydney, we are pretty lucky. Its worth visitung to see the spectacular 10 foot malawi hap tank and the variety of cichlids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG_Sydney Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I was dealing with Andrew over the last few weeks (over email) and I can only say what a gentleman he is .. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him in person yet unfortunately. I will as soon as I get an opportunity ! I highly recommend him based on my experience.

Link2Hell Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I've known Andrew since his days at St George and can't speak highly enough of him and his support for the hobby Labyrinth Aquarium is a strong sponsor of the NSWCS with generous support and a fun place to visit as you never know what he has around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG_Sydney Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Finally managed to visit Andrew yesterday... walked out with some fish including some that I have never heard of before..
