I quickly read before heading off for work,that in May Scleropages leichardti are not going to be exported--does anyone know if this is just a close temporarilly-or has australia stopped them from exportation till further notice will this affect their value---i just got one for $250.00 canadian--that's like 50 cents US LOL
 
yea the price will go up
there like 80-150 i've seen them for
 
hope its not true
i had one, i sold it at around 10" to lfs for 2 sliver arowanas
 
Australia has always been (as I heard) strict on all exports of animals, most of the Australian fishes sold are actually tank bred somewhere else in the world (mostly Asia).
 
i actually saw an add from an australian company that said they exported leichardti and other native fish---i know that reptiles and amphibians have been banned from export for quite a time in Australia specimens for sale are either from smuggling or zoo bred specimens i heard jardini which is native to both australia and new guinea are bred in ponds like asian arowanas in non native southeast asia
 
this sucks. when did you see this add, rollerboy?




...god i cant believe im calling some guy who's 10 years over the hill 'rollerboy' :(
 
Good stuff Neo. These are sweet fish to have!
