Some little nerd sitting in an office in Canberra did a google search for Boulengerochromis microlepsis, saw that it grew to more than a foot so decided it must be noxious. Given the issues people have keeping them alive in an aquarium I don't see that they could establish themselves in the Jardine River. Also take into account a 4cm fry still sells for $600ish

just to clear it emperors arnt worth that much anymore you can get 12cm1s for $60

im totaly against the law its a stupid blanket ban

the laws were put in place, apparantly, to help protect and preserve native australian wildlife. i've heard of how the mosquito fish has been detrimental to some of our native fish, and the bell frog or something. so i guess i can understand, but i think they went to extremes. there are many fish and other animals that i have really wanted, and some that i still want, that have been made illegal. i don't even know if you're able to get a permit for them. pretty annoying to live in australia right now :/
