Frans Elstadt Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Howzit Guys,From Durban, started this hobby last year September and got hooked almost immediately. I like setting up planted tanks and my absolute favourite fish is the dwarf gourami, all types of gourami actually. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogmouth Catfish Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hi Durban, your tanks look great. Do shops in South Africa stock a lot of fish from the West African waterways (ropefish, kribensis, etc) and lake cichlids, or are fish from elsewhere more popular?

Frans Elstadt Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hi Frogmouth yes, I have a African Bush Gourami (Leapord leaf fish) that I paid R50 for aprox 3usd. We don't really get a lot of ropefish. However in the rivers in Durban have tons of guppies in them, I've noticed they do prefer hard water. They're quite dull in colour but breed like crazy. I am in love with the tricogaster genus, but for those ciclid fans out there, in SA we buy Malawis cichlids at R15 a fish that is about 1.5 USD. Most of our fish come from the same supplier either from Lambini Sri Lanka or Tel Aviv Israel. Thank you also Colu, I will submit a video of my dwarf gourami breeding setup soo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
