    Your best bet will most likely be import. If I were you I'd wait till the end of January and then ask one of the sponsors or a LFS near you if you can piggyback on one of their Eastern imports.

    Your best bet is to get hold of Liaquat in Cape Town. He brings then in on order only. PM me if you want his details.

    Well aware of this asking if anyone has used one of the sponsors to get one. Not that keen to pay 7k for something I have no reference

    Liaquat I know brought in a golden dragon for a client a few months back. Unfortunately, due to the fact that they must have a cities cert and the good US rand taking a nose dive. They will have a premium fee to be paid.

    I know Wazeers and Fish for Africa will get them for you, around R4500-R6000 a pop, I think they'll be 2nd grade, but still nice fish

    Good morning guys.. I had gotten a Banjar red a wile ago from Birds and pets but landed up selling him a few months ago due to the fact that he became extremely aggressive. only after some homework did I find out that they are like the jardini and should be kept alone... I have in turn been chatting to Mo and have orded an A grade Asian RTG with Cites certificate. estimated time of arrival will be the first week in Jan.. so if anyone would be keen on getting I would say chat to Mo at Wazeers..
