Unsure to be honest. If it seems like it could adapt and cause harm to our water ways then its banned - its a grey listed species< so not illegal to won, just illegal to bring into the state.
Livefish post to your door and ive heard it skips a quarantine inspection? unsure how true that is, but it means you could get these posted?
I have a pair atm that have spawned twice in their planted tank since Christmas, once I've removed the ray pup I will be trying to breed them, very underrated fish. Definitely in my top 5.
Can’t legally ship them into WA unfortunately.
Rodders - you should of tried to keep breeding them tigers mate. That would of been unreal.

I think so, ive always kept them and had them for many years.
Very primitive and curious ive found, they swim to the surface gracefully then explode with great force after breathing air back to the bottom, I can hand feed one of them and when food morsels are to large they will spin violently like crocs do.
Just keep the lids on very well, I've lost a couple due to carpet surfing, which is heart breaking. One of my favourite oddballs, and senagels remaining a manageable sixe means your average size aquarium is perfect for them, unlike a lot of the lower jaw poly species, reaching at least 18"+.
I remember 10 odd years ago when Vebas would have a tank with at least 20 of them in there! Ahhh the good old days, how fish keeping has changed........
