Am after some local aquarium fish forums that also trade/sell fish privately. Gumtree is now filled with petshops advertising their livestock.
Thanks

That was the fourth search result. They even have a buy/swap/sell page.
Fish are called livestock?
Not if they're dead
I see what you guys did there
Forums are dead.
Generally replaced by FB Groups.
How ironic.
Explain the irony.
5 Forums I was a member of have folded in the last 2 years.
I had to stop and think, is OZB a forum?
Well yeah, but when I think of Forums they are “generally” clunky and IMO not user friendly.
OZB is heavily optimized to deliver a far better end user experience.Though I do agree that forums have largely been replaced by FB Groups, I disagree that forums are not user friendly in general. It is a lot easier to categorise and sort out forum topics compared to FB Groups where everything is just categorised as one.
Sadly true, facebook is becoming so ubiquotuos.
The fish forums I've had a look in are generally pretty dead. FB seems to be where its at now but finding a good group is a bit of a mission, quite a few are setup just to be a selling platform for one breeder.
I've been using this one for few years. Seem like a good bunch, very helpful and have bought livestock from a few members from time to time.
Thanks all. Yes I've noticed not much activity on forums and their classifies. It's a shame, because they create very close knit communities and the selling/buying is a substantially cheaper than fish shops.
People in my area made a fish group on Facebook which I joined but it's not very active with only a couple of posts a month. Maybe they are better in metro areas than regional though?
Random people also sell their fish on Facebook in some of the Buy/Swap/Sell groups on Facebook too. I scored a bargain last year when someone sold me a too small overstocked tank that had 3 large Silver Sharks, 3 large bristle nosed catfish, and 10 Electric Yellows for $40 which all got rehomed in my large tank.
Yeah I am not on Facebook lol but I think maybe its time to join for this stuff. I am after some cichlids, either African or american I am not fussed but as long as they are pretty :)
Picked up a sailfin pleco yesterday around 8cms or so for $35 from an aquarium shop. Hes got a nice symmetrical patter on him so couldn't resist
