Hi guys im getting mixed responses on whats allowed and what not.does anyone here besides the importers know exactly what species can be imported.i dont want to harass the importers with ...can this legal.is this legal can i get these.but then again maybe they could participate too.

Aulonocara spp., means all species in the Aulonocara genus can be imported. Other than Peacocks, Blue Dolphins, Auratus, Rusty Cichlids, Simulans and Rhoedesii there's really not much else than can be legally imported. Cheers

cool thanks.such a shame though dissapointing for the hobby as we all know.ive been looking at getting a few fresh bloods in though hard to pick through.i know some cracker blue dolphins are down south rusty colony in queensland i know theres a couple of good rhoedesii floating around some wc ones too.wish there was more we could do for the hobby.i know there is but little time left before d day and it takes too long for the process and costly too.would of been gd to learn from Norm and the rest of the gang as to what is the best way to go about the process after all they took the step and made the effort but now any chance we have is lost.all we can do is not xbreed and keep any gd blood we have without destroying it

I have very good german bloodline dolphins. (Fish for sale are not German imports- but F's) Can send you some pics or you can have a look at the QLDAF trader - I've got pics on there. Cheers

thanks mate but ive kept those before if i wanted some i can quite easily get some of the ones from melbourne through my fav shop in sydney.ive been breeding for about 14 years now and had dolphins quite a few times.any imports that im looking at getting are going to be mainstays.ie those fish that i buy and never get rid of ive got a few malawi and tangs already in this category but looking at getting something different thats not seen that often or something that we see but dissapears reguarly and then returns like tinanti or lionheads and alike.

I am not sure if it still happens but in the past non importable fish entered Oz.

I guess you have to know the right people [eg a pilot] or people in the aquarium game. I was told by an ex aquarium owner how illegal imports can be brought in.

If Johnny Depp can bring in dogs on his private plane, what else can be brought in undetected?
