New boyz 3 approx weeks down

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Danm where did the time go :confused: After moving to the pond i noticed the TSNs where being bullied before they ever got the food. Ended up having to remove them and noticed one was gone, most probably eaten. The other lives at a friends where his dad built him a pond too himself, the thing is massive! doing well. Unfortunately on of my rtc called it a day when i was away for uni and the other kept powering through, I named him sumo, I guess out of carelessness i didn't notice they didn't eat some of the fish i fed in the pond and the water ended up going bad, He ended up dying and that just shut me off the hobby. As where i live we do not get access too aquarium fish (at all) i just called it quits. If ever the Government decides to hand me the importation permit i've been trying to get for the past 5 years or so than i'll definitely get one again, this time be a little more careful. Shame, i really did count on having him for the rest of his life, the danm thing let me hand feed him and pet him too!, even planned for a bigger pond. Just thought id end this thread for good. We all hate those unfinished stories.
 
Danm good year folks. As a backdrop to clarify! back in the days when i was a more active member on here my country (the seychelles) Had a permanent ban on any importation of live fish for the pet hobby. My cats, oscars and any other species that I had where sort of illegally obtained (no need to clarify) hence weren't available on a regular basis like many of you all here. Infact eventually these smuggle methods became unavailable altogether. As stated above earlier in my post this year the ban still stood. However i did get a few tanks up and running with the limited fish we still had available (Angelfish, convict cichlids, rosy barbs, black skirt tetras) Nothing you could consider monsters per say! Not all though. Neon tetra's werent even available ;) But, three weeks ago when i visited the only store that has fish supplies i noticed a bunch of new tanks being set up. The owner who is a friend of mine told me he had something special to reveal that saturday. Long story shortened For the first time in 10 years I can go down to my first ever local fish store and buy new fish! Imports are finally legal again! Now i do know that this thread should be killed off but for the sake of all I just wanted to let you all know this does have a happy beginning after all. For the moment there are loads of restrictions but He did manage to bring in 7 RTC and i have managed to secure one of them! (i collect him tomorrow) Also got my hand on some oscars! Bala shark and ID's. Needless to say i'm very happy! And glad to be able to enjoy this community once more (The pictures are thrash for now! My apologies!) Will be moving them in their new tanks next week) Some other community fish added as fillers. Admins! I hope this last update does not annoy you all. More threads coming up soon :) IMG_1976.jpgIMG_2220.JPG IMG_2233.jpgIMG_2234.jpgIMG_1976.jpgIMG_2019.jpg

Great to hear!

Why would this thread get killed off? It's your thread and your story and you are doing nothing non-kosher here story-wise :)

(except MFK indeed does not tolerate the discussion of any illegal activity, so be careful there).
 
Great to hear you can keep fish again. Very cool that you came back after all this time and followed up!
