Here's the noxious list for my state. Aba Abas might just be not allowed to be imported to Australia, but they are illegal to keep in NSW.

Poecilocharax weitzmani is an interesting tetra belonging to the family Crenuchidae, the South American darters, which is unrelated to, though likely named after Etheostomatinae, a large subfamily of North American perciform fish which are also known as darters.

Hard to pick but the Blenny is up there.
I still find it really interesting that they exist in freshwater/brackish.

Fork-Tailed Loach
Vaillantella maassi
Size: 5”
pH: 4.0-7.0
Tank size: 35G/1 small group
Country of origin: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia
Diet: Most live, frozen, and prepared foods of an appropriate size will suffice
Temperament: Peaceful
Temperature: 75-80° F
Description
Vaillantella maassi is a most peculiar loach species native to Asia. They are generally similar in demeanor to kuhli loaches, and should be cared for similarly. One potential issue is their size, which can be up to six inches. Though this is not massive, I would keep these fish away from particularly tiny bottom dwellers such as dwarf Corydoras. NOTICE: The link provided above is to a website based in the UK. Most entries previous to this one contain US links. If you live outside of the UK, this fish may be particularly expensive to ship.
