Sunday News - 23 October

The Springboks made all our hearts beat a little faster last night but we're through to another World Cup Rugby final! That, along with the very satisfying win over England by our cricketers in the Cricket World Cup, made yesterday a very good day for South African sport!

Did you know that goldfish have no eyelids, teeth, or stomach?! They are fascinating fish that have been kept in captivity since the days of ancient China. They are, however, not beginner fish despite their popularity with those starting out in the hobby. Read more about why this is in this blog post: https://artsfishroom.co.za/goldfish-care-busting-myths-and-revealing-realities-for-beginner-fishkeepers/

If you are looking for a particular species of fish, neocaridina shrimp, or dry goods, please let me know and I'll do my best to source the best quality at the best price for you.
