Looking for rare stuff in Australia. I know there is a few Aussies on here so maybe someone can help me. Looking for RTC, TSN, Leiarius longibarbis,
leiarius pictus, Wallago Attu ect. Big predatory stuff. Especially looking for wholesalers so i can buy multiples of things but if anyone has anything rare stuff outgrowing there tanks would be interested in taking it off there hands. Any help greatly appreciated.
 
Hey I just bought 2 wild caught Leiarius longibarbis! lol but the package got sent to the wrong place:irked: So I hope they come in tomorrow fine.

Why not buy a rtc or tsn from the lfs?
 
I dont think you can import them or atleast not without some permits. I could be 100% wrong but i thought it was very strict as far as import and export.

They cant be imported at all. Doesnt mean there arent still plenty around though. There is a fair bit around especially Giant Gouramis and Asian Aros just not to many big cats. Smuggling them in is illegal but keeping them here is abit of a grey area, technically once they are here they are legal. I have tried getting straight answers from fisheries here in Australia so if they cant tell me then they cant enforce either. I already have an albino Asian redtail and 2 Asian upsidedown cats but are still looking for more stuff.
