trippa02 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hi All, Yes it's been a very long time since I've been on here. Been busy with work, reno's and keeping the missus happy. Since I've been away I have noticed that fish quality is becoming hard to find (colourings of fish not as good). I've heard a few things as to why but the main reason that keeps popping up is that the fish have been bred that much here in Australia that most likely every fish is related a bit to close. Just wondering (don't have to mention it on here just pm me if you'd like) who gets their fish imported or has had fish imported from Africa? Who did you use? and what was the quality like? I had another idea of doing a trip over there getting the required permits or working with someone that has them and catching my own, but that's a wild idea and may do it later on down the track.

shon982 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 If you're thinking Tangs then nearly everything has been imported lately except for probably altos... So quality is good all round - except for people still breeding from old stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trippa02 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Yeah, it's a matter of finding the good ones for sale. Got tired of getting babies as I like to watch fish grow up and the colour they had came up great just not as good as you see from wild caughts (obviously) or even 5 or 6 times down that line. Who imports them or where can I buy the imported ones? Yes I'm talking about tangs too. I have a very noce colony of Kigoma fronnies and got some orange bemba tropheus but the tropheus's orange on the males didn't come out with the full band and the other section that I would think should be orange has come off in a grey sort of colour.

trippa02 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Might need to come see you as well when I have this new tank built. I know you breed some of the smaller tangs that I want, plus if they are as good as the pics they are of awesome quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shon982 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Imported ones from Parkseg on ACE forums if you've got $$ to spend otherwise buy stuff that people have bred already rather than importing the same things over and over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
