Hey fellow fish keepers!
Anyone know if we can keep and import Cuban cichlids into WA/Perth?
Or if anyone already has any?

You can keep them but not import from overseas. Very scarce ATM I'm not sure if you'd find any in Perth but there's a few kicking around over east.
If you find any juvies and want to bring some over on a plane, I'd be interested in some, they're nice fish

They have always been a hard to find species. Really unfortunate as they are real stunners.
They arent allowed in VIC for some stupid reason. So maybe look QLD as I know there was a breeder there a couple of years back.

Nice one Ronny!
Really cool fish, kind of like a mix between a jag and a polleni.

I was waiting for that lol.
They're just in a bare grow out for now and are still a bit shy. Pics will come in time though. How else can I do a growth journal

Nope, sorry, my point still stands.

LOL! I'll see what I can do. They still hide behind the filter when I approach the tank so may take a while.

Not one of the guys I have but one of the guys that sold a few weeks before. They were a bit bigger than the ones I have.
