#358037 Is It Legal?

Posted by Terry on 24 December 2016 - 11:57 AM

Regardless of the law the logistics would make it very difficult. If you catch a fish miles from anywhere you need be able to care for it, it will be stressed and stress kills fish. Then you have to be able to package it for freight, which means triple bagging with oxygen and placing it in an aviation approved box, if it's coming from interstate it must be booked with quarantine and the timing of arrival will have a big impact on cost and length of time in the box. 

Leave catching and transporting fish to qualified people who know how to do it, the fact that you asked here shows you are not qualified.

 

Enjoy your fishing trip

Cheers Terry

#358002 Abandoned Fish

Posted by Terry on 23 December 2016 - 02:46 PM

The estate agent phoned me this morning he thought all of the fish had been picked up last week but yesterday he found a large tank with 15 fish in it in the garage, so I went up there and it turned out that it was a salt water tank. I don't keep salt water so I dropped them off at a sponsor shop.

There are no more live animals at the address.

 

Cheers Terry

#357631 List Of Hybrids

Posted by Terry on 11 December 2016 - 06:26 PM

Chris,

 

You forgot to mention your displays at the PCS exhibitions at Fremantle.

An updated hybrid list would benefit all members and Brett any changes to the PCS  constitution would have to be voted on at the AGM by financial members.

 

Cheers Terry

#352758 Is The "common Pleco" (Hypostomus Plecostomus) Still Available?

Posted by Terry on 10 June 2016 - 12:57 PM

The pic above is not Hypostomus plecostomus, the real pleco has 8 rays in the dorsal fin. I have only seen 2 real plecos in the last 30 years. Johnno does yours have 8 or 13 rays.

#352370 Flowerhorn Has Stoped Eating 2Wks Help!

Posted by Terry on 28 May 2016 - 12:34 PM

Do not feed your fish lamb, it is too fatty. Ask around for beef heart most butchers can get it for you.

 

The best way to treat flowerhorns is to put them in the freezer overnight, or feed them to your cat.
