    Ok so here's the plan. I want to start a 3ft tank and restart my malawi project but do it properly. Any ideas where I can get a tank cheap, or I am gonna end up divorced. Also are fresh water lobsters sage to keep in a community tank?

    Doing Malawi's properly means a bigger tank than a 3 footer.... Scour Junkmail and gumtree and keep your eyes peeled here on TASA for a 4footer +...

    Recently heard(rumour????) that KZN has passed new laws that allows the keeping of shrimp - could that be why freshwater lobsters are now available? Any of our KZN members know anything?

    Will try do some research.
    Paludarium. I think u r right... The bigger the tank for them the better... When I tried before it turned out a disaster. Fish really were out of control. Gave them to my lps.

    I think any lobsters will still remain on the BL even after shrimp has been taken off.

    Uhm @ravi ... Dude? Did you read the rules and regulations? Can see you are new here,but we have a certain way of doing things here on the forum - just saying,before you get "slappe on the wrist" by the mods....

    Introduce yourself in the New members section and tell us a bit about yourself and your interest in the hobby and your tanks... this aint gumtree dude...lol
