    Hi guys, sadly have to put up my fish for sale. I've had some of them for 8 years. Downsizing to just one tank and these fish have to go.

    Approx 12 Malawi cichlids(8-15cm), 2 syndonotis cats (15cm), 1 blue botia loach. All for R350.

    Also have some rocks, mix of holey rock and pet store bought (some nice shapes) R250

    Have a big 60cm piece of drift wood covered in java fern and another rock covered in java fern. These plants are the only ones that have survived these cichlids. R200.

    I'm in Centurion, let me know if anyone is interested in viewing.

    I know how hard this must be for you. Wish I was closer because those prices are really low!

    Cool. Just want to confirm buyers for the rest of the stuff before I start dismantling.

    For sure. Pets become part of the family.

    Hi Morak,

    I may be keen on the cichlids less the cats and loach if you willing to split..

    Also if @Jwh doesn't take the Java fern and driftwood i'd like that too.

    Hi bud, would prefer that they go together but if someone else wants the syndonotis cats and blue botia that would be fine.

    Any reason why you don't want the cats and loach? Not many other fish go well with malawis

    I'll take the cats and the botia, then MHD can have the cichlids, if that helps?

    Will also have some pool filter sand for free once the fish and plants have been taken.

    @MDH R230 for the malawis only?
    @Jwh R120 for cats and loach and R200 for plants and driftwood?

    Rocks still up for grabs.

    Thanks @Jwh.. If you have second thoughts on the driftwood I'm really keen.

    Morak I'll contact you later to arrange details about fish.

    Great meeting @MHD and @Jwh. I'm sure the fish are off to happy homes.

    Still have the rocks available. It's more than fills up two 20l buckets and they too nice to chuck in the garden!

    Likewise, the cats were happily exploring their new home, the botia disappeared into the plants, will likely see it tomorrow at feeding time
