Hi from Australia

[aussiefishfinder]

Hi everyone
I am looking for someone who can help me.
I have found some great fish for sale in the states, but no one will send them to me.
What I would like, is to make connections with fellow Bristlenose Catfish lovers, who could recieve these fish for me then arrange to get them sent over here.
I know this is a huge ask, But i am willing to do the same for you. I own my own website, and have access to lots of fish here. If you are maybe looking for some fish from here I can return the favour and organise to get them sent to you.
I am mainly looking for Peppermint Bristlenose, Albino Bristlenose, both long and short finned or any other kind of Bristlenose Catfish.
Thanks for reading my post

Before doing something like this, you will have to check whether or not it's legal to import the fish you want. I understand that Australia is quite strict in that regard.

oz is a really big place.....

There was a very recent post about Ancistrus running amok in Oz native rivers; Queensland would be a nice guess, somewhere up north.

So even if you cannot get them imported (wich is very likely, since this species already went 'feral'! ), you CAN ofcourse catch them in the wild FOR FREE and -after quarantaine- keep and breed with animals collected from the local rivers.

you're even doing some environmental stuff by removing non-native fish from this habitat

Did'nt some women ge caught try'n to bring in fish under her dress? L66 i think. Big fine and jail time.

There would be no need to hide them...I am only interested in importing fish LEGEALLY into the country...you think im silly????
Australian quarantine has a list of fish that can come here, Im only interested in those.

pepermint's and albino's are already here and are in good supply

they occasionaly come up quite cheap to

[aussiefishfinder]

Yes they are here..but I am interested in the long finned varieties..They come up occasionally here, but stat at $150.oo each

[MDOU]

our long fin albino's are usually $80 for 3cm juviniles

I didn't know that you could get long fin pepermints

[aussiefishfinder]

Really?
...can you tell me where i can get some of these from at all?
I dont think there is long finned peppermints either..I only know of long finned albinos and normal BN.

[MDOU]

well here it is some one who is breeding them localy.

all i know is that they bought their pair for (at least) $250 and then sold the young cheaply to try to bring down the price

if i find out who it is i will tell you

[aussiefishfinder]

Thanks heaps for that!!
Im excited cause I get my 10 New Peppermints this week end from Sydney..Icant wait!!

Hey AFF,
I hate to disapoint you but any form of b/nose are not allowable imports.
Cheers,
Rick.
