Greetings from South Africa

Hello

My name is Kim, I live in Cape Town - South Africa.
My first love is a red tiger oscar called Asmodeus, then I decided to add a pl3c in his tank for company and another love affair started!
I now have the following pl3c's and will be adding as space allows:

Hypostamus Pl3costamus - Zen-Froglet
Sailfin Pl3costamus - Enjoys head butting the oscar
Golden Nugget - Digger and excavator extraordinaire
L001 - Botox, huge rude and obnoxious
L200 - In the excavating business with the Nugget
L204 - Harrasses the 25cm Black Ghost Knife for kicks

On my wish list is a breeding pair of Zebras, sadly it is near impossible to find them in this country

We have a total of 9 tanks at the moment and at last count 64 fish. I am sure by this time next year there will be some additions

I will post some pics as well.

Regards
Kim

PS - anyone willing to DHL me a breeding pair of zebras

Hi Kim,

Welcome to ZP!

Good luck finding some zebras.

Plastic Mac.

welcome

are there any restrictions in SA on plecs that can be kept?

Thanks for the welcome

Smithrc, I see you are in Milton-Keynes - my hubby's family stay there too

With regards to your question on restrictions I don't think there are but I have requested the info from someone who has our blacklist taped to his monitor

Regards
Kim

In response to your question Smithrc, there are no pl3costomus on the blacklist, a number of catfish though.

Also congratulations on the birth of your child and a hearty congrats on the spawning of your zebras

Regards
Kim

Thanks

I was just wondering as I know the US and Oz have a lot of restrictions due to the warm climate... so wondered if you guys did too...

I I lived in Austrailia I'd be a king amoung Plec owners... only because most of them are not aloud to be imported.... that scuppers my emigrating plans - I couldnt go to a country where bristle noses are considered 'special'

LOL @bristlenoses being special!! We have a male and female and believe me they are the oddest creatures ever!

Our blacklist contains mostly african species believe it or not, something about conserving our natural resources, more a case of we make more money if we export if you ask me

If you are interested in a copy of our blacklist, let me know I can mail it to you, it's a 800kb zip file.

Best of luck with those precious babies of yours - I look forward to reading about their progress.

Regards
Kim
