Good morning PCS members!

We have great news this week!

Are you ready to put the "WOW" factor in your tank?

Are you ready to show off your best Biotope skills?

Are you ready to have a piece of nature in your tank, instead of just "an aquarium"?

Are you ready to ROCK?

Come in and have a browse at our new 3D Rockgrounds!!

Constructed from hard wearing fibreglass and hand painted, these 3D backgrounds will make your tank look like a true nature aquarium. We have replicas of the caves in Lake Tanganyika where your Cyprichromis could swim upside down just like they do in nature!

We have 7 different types, from rocky biotopes to amazing tree roots emulating the Amazon basin, mangroves or any riverine scene. They come in different colours too!

Some of them protrude 20cm from the back glass, making an amazing 3D visual effect.

Stock is limited, and they are literally "walking out the door", be in quick for a look and feel (all of them have different textures) and a chat about them and how to install them in your tank!

Here are some examples:

KIGOMA:

ITUNGI:

KIPILI:

Also, a big variety of 3D fake rocks to match! Light, big, and easy to move, they will help you not to lose litres in your tank, and help you with easier maintenance and fish catch!

Thanks Buccal for explaining a bit some of the issues with wild caught fish.

The list that the received has HEAPS of Wild caught cichlids, but we have decided to remove them and not get them in for many different reasons:

- As Buccal was saying, most of the REAL wild caught fish come with strange shapes, broken fins that won't regrow, skinny that won't eat, and many more issues...

- Wild caught fish are usually bigger fish, which means more expensive, older, and more likely to not do too well during the shipment ...that's why we recommend to import small fish rather than large ones

- We support and ethically disagree with the wild taking of fish if or when not required

- Most of the wild caught fish on the list are the same species been tank raised... and many of them are not even on the importable list

Hello everyone,

As per title, we are very excited to announce that we are going to have big import from the best and biggest wholesaler in Germany.

We have decided to try this again to spice up the Cichlid hobby a bit, and also because we would like to get some different species in the country before the new rules come in March, that might even cut down the number of species on the importable list.

We are going to order fish on the first week of February, so all you have to do is come in the shop BEFORE  FEBRUARY 1st, 2016 and tell us which specie you want and how many.

Remember that the fish are coming all the way from Germany, so better get a small group than just "a pair of..." .. there is always a risk to lose some specimen during the trip + 2 weeks of quarantine, so not really a wise idea to get just one pair of cichlids that might not come up again in the hobby.

The list was sent to us just before Christmas, so it might change until we do the order in the first week of February. Anybody who will order a fish that is not any more on the list will be notified, so you can decide if want a different specie or get your deposit back. YES, we do require a 50% deposit previous the order.

*Note that prices might vary a bit, depending on the exchange rate, quarantine and shipping expenses*

You can find the list in the attached PDF file!
