lol man begging for attention for fish, I never had a bad experience with charrans and they bring in most of the exotic fish in this country they even supply most bigger farms....

That's because you guys are a fish farm too bro. When I came by you I was very pleased to get the attention and patience. That's how come I bought all them fish. All the fish are very healthy by the way and doing well. Charran's on the other hand not so patient and friendly to the normal layman who just buyin two or three fish. The lady openly said that they really cater for wholesalers so I guess I don't blame them for the way they treat small men. They don't even have set business hours anyway. The lady son cool tho. He gave me some good deals when we dealt, but again, that's when I was lucky to find the farm open and got the attention from them.

I guess u have a point there, we r mainly wholesalers also but we dnt treat walk in clients any different , guess not all farms extend that courtesy to everyone , i never had a bad experience wid either of them though

I have seen the parents of these. They are from an imported, pure bred, unrelated pair, not the small breed, watered down locals. Has a nice, rich Electric blue colour.

That's cause OB's are the easiest type of peacock to breed. Carry on.....

Hey guys, I have plans to set up a small 20 gallon freshwater tank for my daughter. Contemplating a community tank or multiple of the same species (hopefully with some colour variations) going with an external fluval canister filter. What are your recommendations?

Get the 406 Fluval it's epic

Anton · Postby **Anton** » June 25th, 2014, 6:30 pm

Was looking at the 106 which is rated for 25 gallons or the 206 which is rated for 40. What fish do you guys suggest?

Greatthings786 · Postby **Greatthings786** » June 25th, 2014, 6:43 pm

Neon tetra they'd look nice in that

Looking to buy some mature oranders and alot of young koi Any suggestions?

Kasey · Postby **Kasey** » June 28th, 2014, 6:11 pm

I suggest to buy some more exciting fish......dat can live comfortably in an aquarium. Cause the ones you want to buy (the koi) can only live comfortably in a Pond or very large aquarium.

Try some exciting cichlids?? : )

Oh well in that case, you can still go with some koi, not the goldfish tho. But Red tail cats, shovel noses, and gars, still will get too big for that 800 gal. Arowanas will be ok but they jump sometimes, so be mindful. A giant gourami will be ok, even an oscar can live in there too. Lots of other community fish you have to choose from.

Hahahah guys im a really simple fella, i LOVE kois, seeing the growth and the evoloution and expantion of the colour, the formation of the fins (esp butterfly kois) and the manner in which they move.... Very relaxing.
Go outside after work, sit on the wall of the pond, cigar in hand..... Thats the saving grace sometimes lol
