    I think you can get a female from C328. Was there just now and they have some in the mixed tanks. There are some females there too. S$4 or S$8 each.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    If u're not picky over females, just get those from 328, it's not too bad...
    Cheers!

    Don't borther to call them. Firstly, they take forever to answer, then they don't know what they have (for apisto), then will quote you the wrong price over the phone (got the pair type and the mixed type). Better to check in person. It's one place that's worth the trip anyway.

    Cheers,

    While you are at C328, also look out for caca pairs at the betta/guppy tanks section.
    Because the tanks are so small, you might just missed it!

    Yes, you are right. They have 2 pair there at the moment. 4 fishes housed in a tiny betta tank. Terrible conditions!!

    One of the females looks very very very stressed and depressed... Kept hiding under the leaf... Too bad my tank is not ready, else would have brought the pair home...

    Mr YS is not a salvation home, he does not bother in small little fishes that are not up to his level. But if they're of good quality we might all think twice about it. Thats why it's sad enough for those breeders who didn't care about it.
    Cheers!

    My opinion is not to rescue.. it will only encourage indiscriminate breeding further.
    Sorry if I may sound cruel..

    if you are a fishbreeder, there is no such thing as cruel.
    its totally necessary to cull every batch of fish you breed.
    even to stop some fishes from reproducing (i.e. bad genes).
    we can't replace nature totally in in our tanks but we can try to get close.

    its indiscriminate breeders/breeding that bring the gene pool and quality of the fishes down.
