List your Monster that you want to have but cannot..

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm a lucky guy to be living elsewhere where I have access to most of the fishes listed here.

All sorts of arowana, stingrays, cichla temensis, araipaima etc.

But one thing is that piranhas are banned here, and that makes me a bit pissed because I would love to have them.
 
In the UK no tropical fish are banned. The only one which is not allowed to be brought in is the L46 zebra pleco due to it beign nearly extinct but if any shops buy from local breeders they can sell them.

Yeah, Jansens (a big pet chain here who do a lot of 'exotic' stuff) imported about 8-10 of them a while ago. NZ$2500 for gold and $4900 for red-tailed gold!!! Beautiful fish, but for that price I wont be owning one. They sold a few really quickly but were stuck with a couple for some time. Eventually the price came down a bit (well they started offering free 5-6' tanks with the fish up to the value of $1200 or something like that). They have one left in a display tank with a large senegal birchir, so at least I'll be able to watch one grow up (its about 12-14" now).
Also, while on the topic of overpriced pets, they have recently started selling australian bearded dragons, for NZ$1600 each!!!! Apparantly theyre about US$20 and very common in the states......
 
I'd just love to have a huge pool in my garden with a tiger shark in it, would be the coolest thing ever. I'd toss in cats and dogs and other annoying neighbours pets.. still it will stop cats taking a dump in my garden for sure :D

Yeah thats just how it is in the fish hobby. At least we get stingrays here int the US and all the Piranhas that you can want ( in some states anyways). Bearded dragons are about 40 bucks here at my local petstore.
