Hawaii

[Dr. Cray]

Hello Everyone,

I found out a few days ago I was accepted to the University of Hawaii to finish off my post-doctorate. As a surfer, fisherman, fish keeper and ichthyologist I am excited to move to the islands.

So is anyone able to update me on regulation as far as keeping fish in Hawaii? I have heard that there are some stricter regulations there and I can understand why. Out of the 86 identified freshwater species 5, just 5 are native.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good LFS in the Honolulu area?

I will be leaving my current tanks to my roommate, but I would like to start a new tank.

Thanks,
Cray

See Hawaii.

I'd contact them and get the list updated as more species may have been added.


As for stores, I'm sure there are folks here who can point out some excellent options.

Hey Cray, I'm from Oahu and work at a LFS called Coral Fish Hawaii. We have a great selection of fresh and salt water fish, you should stop by when you move here!
