Its Going to Happen!

[~THEO~]

I made a deal with the missus the other day that If i made a $500.00 commission at work, she'll let me buy an Aussie lungfish. And I just made a sale with $600.00 commission in it!!!

So in the beginning of March, I will organise for the next addition of my Australian native fish collection to be sent down to me. And to make things that much better, Gordon ( the breeder of the Australian lungfish ) said he frequently travels to my area and can drop it off. So not only will I get a fish I have waited for several years to own, I get to meet a person I have wanted to sit down with and talk with about his succcess in breeding them aswell.

Just wanted to share my excitement.

awesome!!! how much do they cost down under? Over here some were brought in at $750 a piece

 

[~THEO~]

$550.00 + Delivery inside Australia. I guess the extra is to do with export taxes and freight costs?

 

[Onion01]

ouch! I thought they would be cheaper. Where are they native to?
