Managed to scrape together enough for a trio to go with a pair I had already. So I now have 5 Wild Caught Moba

and......an empty wallet!

They look stunning, glad you got some. Any pictures?

Thanks Rob

I haven't picked them up yet. Hes holding them until I get back from Germany when I go in a few days. Will post pictures as soon as I get them. Can't wait!

Have got a picture of one of the ones I have already. My 'orange' lighting really doesn't do her colours justice nor do my photography skills.

I am planning to go and pick my trio(so excited

) on Friday(25th)! Hopefully I can as I cannot wait no longer! Problem is getting down to Eastbourne! I'll probably have to go by train but I haven't worked out how I'm going to bring back one 12" Male and two 7" females by myself with changing trains 3times or whatever it is

Have to think it though as I don't want to stress the fish out tooo much.

Unless someone wants to pick me up and drive me down there and back??? *hint hint*

Thanks for the comments Peter and for sticking those pics up Yanton.

Yeah I cannot wait to get them! I may have to scrap the idea of friday has I have just caught a chest infection

But when I do get down there I have a choice of 18 to choose from and am going to probably take the best breeders. Could get £25each for 2" fry if I were to breed them so thats my goal! Just hoping the others I already have are females too. Really need atleast 6-8 in a group but I just could afford another £400!

Well hes has some left at £130 a fish if you want some

12" is the biggest I've seen/heard a Zaire get but Burundi's have been know to get to 14" in aquaria. They believe that some can get even bigger then that in the wild.

Coach eh!, thats a good point!. It would be easier for me without having to take them on and off a train but not sure how long it would take on a coach. Probs would be cheaper too. Would just have to get some of that magic sedative stuff and plenty of oxygen tablets for them I guess. Good thinking Batman!
