Ducksta Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 They've been listed as noxious for as long as I can remember. I've never really understood why they've been singled out though. Shame though - cracking fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigo Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I always gathered it was because of lack of information (as always) & the common name PIKE cichlid….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Could be. For me lack of info explains it not being importablw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Could be. To me - lack of info explains it not being importable but not necessarily the noxious listing. Otherwise loads of things would be on it. The common name might explain it. I've always wondered if there was some crazy reputation I hadn't heard of though.
