Hey Guys, my name is Jairus and I moved to WA from Cape Town South Africa in March this year. I have been actively involved in this hobby for the past 5 years. Sadly I could not bring all my wild caught breeding colonies of malawi cichlids. I was running 8 tanks back home, 2x 1.5m tanks; 2x 1.2m tanks ; 1x 2.2m tank ; 2 x 900mm tanks and 1x 450mm tank. Those tanks were homes to my 15 wild caught kigoma frontosa colony,7x aulonocara giant chilumbas;5x aulonocara blue neons;3x copadichromis azureus ;3 copadichromis cyclicos;4 red empress; 3 lwanda red tops;4x moba frontosas and of course loads of F1 juvies that i bred. I am so exited to have discovered this forum and cant wait to get to know you guys and learn new things from you and also share what I`ve learnt over the years of breeding. Im just in the process of resizing my pics then i will post them.
Newish To Perth

Malawiman, unfortunately im still renting and the current landlord does not allow pets or aquariums. I do still have all my contacts for wild caughts and as soon as i get my own place(in next year) then I will be going big. First step is to get a fish room and get it approved as a quarantine station, then I will be bringing in my malawi cichlids. My supplier actually sent me a species list today of some stunning fish but I informed him to hang on till im sorted. So watch this space lol

Yeah from the research that I have done so far, its not an easy process but im addicted to this hobby and will do my utmost to get it going this side.
@jjm66; I have never and will never keep mbunas, they are way to aggressive and frankly dont appeal to me as they are very common.
