You will have to do some research before buying!
You dont want 1 of your nice new fishes to eat the others or harrass them to death nipping fins etc!
And not all tropical fish like the same water conditions!

[K.B]

yeah thats right about water conditions and the water up here has higher ph balance in it
our big guys harass each other n fight, wee ones r e same 2!they are like kids they either get on great or fight like cat n dog lol

I think this site is totally irresponsible, it doesn't tell you any information about the fish ie. what water conditions they need, how big they grow, how compatable they are with other fish, it gives absolutely no advice. For example they have plecs for sale but it doesn't tell you they grow to 48cm and they will grow quite quickly, say you purchased one for your 30 litre tank, that fish alone will need 48 litres of water when adult.

Malawi cichlids need high ph, you can't just chuck them in with any old fish.

Bad, bad site unless you already have a thorough knowledge of fish keeping.

well obviously keeping fish you have to have knowledge of fishkeeping...a person ordering fish would have to do there homework on it before they buy.
half the time pets at home dont know what kind of fish they are selling let alone how to look after them!
thought this forum was for advice and help??
