That is a very good list well worth keeping how often is it updated.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

Don't know mate. But all the fish I am interested in aren't allowed in


But will keep checking jsut in case something changes.

Doesn't mean they aren't available RAST, if they are already here, they may be available from home-bred stuff

How would I find that out then??? Who breads them and where?

You find EVERY australian fish forums, and ask, leaving your email (use _AT_ not @ incase you het spambot crawler thingies) and wait.

Or you could just ask here and we will look around asd ask our sources

I know of people who have zebra plecs, and many L number fish, and a lot of common aquarium pets aren't on that list, axolotls for example.

What you have to check is the noxious fish list, just to be sure what you want is not on that list, otherwise it has a bit trickier (unless you are in Sydney Metro, as some of the rules dont apply then... no idea why)

Where would I be finding this list????

RAST
What fish do you want? post up the list and I will do my best to let you know whats here
There is a good chance they are around depending what state you are in. I dont recall seeing any pseudotropheus species on the list but there heaps of diiferent types here

I am looking for some Zebra Loaches and some Yoyo Loaches and maybe some albino bristlenose's as well

Depending on prices as well tho.

I wish I could get adfs & dwarf puffers

Yoyo's are available, but are being sold as "pakistani loach" for about $40
