Youll be fine with livefish for shipping, especially at that size. I think they have DOA policy too?

These where 2 x 25cm bagged in the same bag - didn't really have a chance, the water was absolutely ammonia ridden by the time the fish rocked up.

 

Let me know how it all goes, I may get one as well at that price :)

They should be around soon.  Someone recently got their permit to collect them again ;)

Price on even Leichardti is creeping up and up over the years. I remember the days when they were ~$70 to 90 retail.

It turned up yesterday!!!!

Sent monday at 3pm, on doorstep 8:30am wednesday all the way out here.

 

No quarantine bill, $120 all in.  Pretty happy, but its pretty small.

Very impressed with livefish, as all the mucking about with a trip to perth to a LFS is avoided.

Will be using again.

Seems your quarantine rule isnt that strict - could be random checking as well.
