| Admin,
I went to the sight...Found 50g for R169 and 425g for R590
Now if I buy 9 x50g to make around 425g it will be like R1500...
They dont have 425g package...so it is almost 3 times the price if I buy the small 50g size...
U dont know where I can buy 500g or 1000g package... |

U dont know where I can buy 500g or 1000g package... My daughter was in SA but in the hospital...I asked him to deliver home (Sundton), and agreed to R250 for delivery of the brine shrimp...I called her and told her to prepare the money... He kept on insisting on Paypall payment,(I dont have one) and did not want to believe me that He will receive the money on delivery... O! Well! Not much I can do! |

| Hi Neli, they are still very small, 9 cm, but I am very excited based on what I have seen. If they look one bit like their mother when a bit larger, they are going to be stunning.
Will try to post a recent photo of the mom, and maybe some photos of the babies.
However, to send a baby to Zambia will not be economical? |

| Could only find an old photo of the mom taken two years ago. She developed into a stunner over the past two years. Golden and Silver. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

| Admin,
I got all my Koi from SA last year. Neville took me around, but I prefer the show since U dont need to move much to chose.Used to by now to pay for the transport, since there is no other option.
I will be there in May for the show, and to buy some Koi for sale, and for my self.
So We shall talk, before or while I am there. They will grow by the end of May some more. |

| Admin,
Did U see my crappy babies I posted here?
It was fun. Lots of fun growing them.
So far around 150 and some new ones coming soon.
They were many but all by accidental spawning, so I was just catching babies in the pond.
The ones from eggs I managed to kill almost all.
I would lke to see how an ochiba gin rin baby looks like...I suspect I have one or two, but not too sure.
I have one black one with gold gin rin on the scales (not silver) All black even the fins...
Maybe it is from the sun shining on them...I dont know, but it sure looks pretty! |

| Hi Wayne, thanks and yes, you and Heidi must pop in.
Busy with a golf course (Mashie course with driving range). The idea is to accommodate night golf which you play with fluorescent balls and I will have a large spotlight and a koi pond at each green. |
