#367547 Penang Pet Shop Boy

Posted by Lewy71 on 18 November 2019 - 09:35 PM

Currently on holidays and I came across this amazing pet store in Georgetown, Penang.

As you might expect, some very exotic pets were available for sale including prairie dogs, meerkats, sugar gliders ($60AUD), fenec foxes, albino iguanas & macaws (apparently they recently had raccoons). Lots of snakes, reptiles, beetles, turtles, tortoises & spiders.

In terms of aquarium fish, obviously had heaps of different arowanas, bichirs, giant guoramis & other asian exotics not available in Oz. Bichirs were pretty cheap starting at around the $8AUD mark. Marine fish super cheap started at around $2AUD for damsel fish.

They didn't stock very many African cichlids at all (other than some peacocks, mainganos) although had some decent americans available in Oz.876597cc88353a2accc4ffdf932a83a4.jpgeef22c803a295f54fb7329136674aa8a.jpgbe48933ed9d475a88097cef063e6e34f.jpgfd19a62a96a81deeb89fe4022afbd0cf.jpg725391d59b12a8e1f97e1e79d0779b63.jpgeeda023cd631602daa600e4c0f2b46fb.jpg09411d4bb0f1e494c2fee490513be79a.jpg94ab4b90afd80d0f73163be3d3cf7e1f.jpg

#363688 New Monthly Topic Ideas

How about a session on larger Malawi predator cichlids (Malawi hawks, trout, eye biters, sand divers, nimbos, vc10s, etc) - a lot of these species are becoming scarce, so hopefully a preso might encourage interest in breeding these types.
Also would be interested in a preso on quarantine /importing rules & which species have been lost to the Aussie aquarium hobby.

#306666 What Size Will A Kadango Borleyi Male Colour Up

I have the same question - does anyone know if there are any other little hints to guess juvenile kadango sex? Eg fin shape?
