thanks guys yea he'd be a few years old i havent had this guy since he was a fry, only about a year. I dont think he is and im not too concerned about the banned species in australia that are, its not going to make much difference in fish keeping, just gonna push the prices of fish up and you wont be able to buy them in shops, as it is now if you have the money you can get any fish you want into the country.
