I've already purchased multiple tanks (six, which I know isn't much by some people's standards). I'd be willing to drive quite a distance as well, but I've yet to have to do that, so I can't say how far it would be.

you would really move here just to keep a beani? why not just move to central america?

Meh, it just takes time. I am a normal house dad, with three little ones. Even I have come across a few rare fish. The funny things is, is that some common fish become rare, due to lack of interest, or other factors. I would suggest shopping around a TON and keeping a selection of fish, that you like, due to your own likes. I would rather own a bad arse Haitensis, over any other fish at the moment.

I would climb the highest mountain.

I would swim the deepest sea.

I would eat a dozen habanero peppers and rub them in my eyes.

I would walk on hot coals and shove bamboo shoots under my fingernails.

I would shave off my eyebrows and set my hair on fire.

I would....I would....

So I'm curious. Is there a law preventing you from ordering cichlids from stores/people outside Australia or is it just not practical to have fish shipped that far?

"But I would walk 500 miles ... and I would walk 500 more ...
just to be the man whon walked 1000 miles ...
to fall down at the fish room floor."

Nicely done!

I am quite lucky, not much need to go to too many lengths, I have been helping the local wholesaler with his warehouse, all I have to do is ask and have my wallet ready

We can order from overseas but the required fish must be on the "Allowable import list".

To answer the OP. I wouldn't move anywhere.Chances are you will move just so you can have a particular fish and in time your taste will change or even the laws. You should come home now, I think your mind has wandered to far.

You move to America for the Freedom.
Then you accomplish your dream.
