Silver Arowana In Wa
#1
Posted 03 June 2008 - 07:07 PM
I am wondering about the silver Arowana...
Is it on the banned fish importation lists?
are they restricted in WA or australia?
Where is the best place to find these fishies (at a reasonable price)?
Does anyone do any deals with these fish?
Hopefully some one can give me a hand with my queries...
Thank you

I'm not familiar with the fish, but i've "seen" posts about them being on sale on this forum and also a couple of LFS have had them for sale as well.
Hope that answers "some" of your questions!

i take it that u never dealt with him b4, i sugest u do a bit of research b4 u start recommending people u never met or dealt with as it may come back and bite in the end. He is a low life SOB and has no moral jus like some of his frens...U KNOW WHO U R. He sells all the good and healthy fish in his own state but when it comes to shipping interstate, its always deformed and unhealthy fish. Its people like him that gives online sellers a bad name.

Just a word of advice to everyone out there that is trying to get fish over the eastern state and bringing it over.
1) When you buy off them, they usually dont have the fish in hand. Most of them are the middle man.
2) If they promise to send to you "guarantee alive-on-arrival OR money back"...do not believe this.
The problem is that the middle man dont send you the fish, its the supplier of the middle man.
If the fish comes to Perth DEAD (stay in the bag for too over night for too long or they have sent it under the AAE normal freights and not the live animal consigment number) due to mis-communication between the supplier and the middle man. Then they will not give you your money back! They will tell you that they will give you a discount on your next buy!
You can send them the photo of the fish dead at the airport in the bag and even with a knife through the fish, the middleman will not refund you your money! They will lie and make up excuses so that they wont return you your money.
My advice is always record all phone conversation, make sure they state their identity. So if there is anything wrong you can always keep it for record!
The problem that Perth buyer have is that:
-they cant see the fish
-they have to rely on trust
-if the seller can always send you a different fish to the photo
-If they say that the fish is 20cm...it would probably be 15cm or less
At the end of the day, just becareful!

SPOT ON MM.
All u newbie’s out there read this very careful and remember them as they r very useful, and don’t be afraid to NAME and SHAME them even if they threaten or try to use big brother tactics on you, jus as "me and my so called friends aka suppliers wont sell you fish anymore or my friends will bag u online if u do” cos at the end of the day the truth will soon come out.
It’s people like this that puts people of the hobby, its a shame how low some of these people can go but at then end of the day “arrange karma” will always catch up to them.

btw another person to watch out for is phillip888 who is on plecofanatics, he is also a friend of AZZA

I was one that had been stung by this guy selling me a deformed fish, stay away from him cause once he does you over theres not much you can do about it.
Heres a thread i posted about my unfortunate dealings with him.

He has 3 bad comments in the last 6 months all coming from Perth. I reckon the new good comments are to try and fix his damaged reputation.
