Not that I know of. I was going through the noxious list before. One type of TSN is on there. But RTC are not? I don't understand it, not even the slightest!

Shhh... don't question the omission of RTC.

Oh trust me I definately wasn't Alex! I was just questioning the reason behind the whole thing. When there are fish on there that would do little to our waterways compared to some that aren't deemed noxious.

Anyway no point in winging. I'm just glad I got into TBs now after keeping boring fish for the last 13 years. Enjoyed meeting some fantastic people on here with similar interests as well.

Fish food as my mate calls the above haha.......

Noxious list - i dont get it neither.
System should be very much set up how reptile keeping is. Just have a license or something to hold these large exotic fish, were you pay an annual fee, and have to notify fisheries quartley of what species you are keeping - simple effective and only a responsible way to go about it. And of course only serious people would apply and maintain the conditions.

Are Chicla sp. illegal to import??

[Peckoltia]

Cichla are not an allowable import.

I'd hate to have licensing for fish.

Damn, id love to have a few different chicla in a big display tank.
Not all fish, just the now noxious ones.
