In one 5 foot I have a range of Discus and a large Royal whiptail and school of Rummy Nose, discus range from 8cm up to 16cm. The Tangayika Tank hold 15 Cyprichromis, 6 Neolamprolugus Leleupi, 1 Julidochromis Transricptus and a few princes chchlids which are soon to be moved.
As far Cichlids in Katherine I have started a small hobby business from home and have been bringing in a wide range if Cichlids including Frontosa, I would really like to become the go to man in the NT as far as Cichlids go. There is a large German shipment arriving later this month I have good access to some great fish and have already taken orders for Frontosa.
Katherine is 300k away from Darwin Airport so I am not offering shipping but later I hope to offer a monthly shipping service.
One day I would love to work with full time but now I still gotta pay the bills
Thanks for the welcome :-)

I thought a lot of cichlids were noxious in NT, obviously not the case??

Your are right a lot of Cichlid are not allowed in the NT but Cyps, Trophues, Frontosa (over 12cm) and a lot of others are. Until July this year we were not allowed to have Oscars.
Electric yellows are on the not allowed list which is a shame as they are my fav Malawi cichlid. The strict allowed list in the NT drives a lot of fish keepers underground and there are plenty of banned fish in aqauriums all over the NT. Me, well I play by the rules and make the most out of the fish we can have and dont waste much time dwelling on the fish I cant have.
If anyone is interested I can send through an approved NT list.
Cheers
