If you had an ideal fish that was obtainable or if your lucky (may be able to find)
obtainable in oz, for breeding purposes,
what would it be?

[4x4xfar]

Probably a pair of Emperor Cichlids or Gulf Saratoga!

Asian Arowana's preferably XB's or RTG's... one powerball!...

Mmmh emperor cichlid is one of my favs as well,
does any one have the tanks to keep such a monsta
to full grown (or near enought) these beasts grow to 80cm!
I'm building a house soon! My requirments are a good floor plan,
which i've chosen to accomidate a 12'x3'x2.5'! or 3' haver desided!
Still along way off, but emperors will be mine one day!
How hard are they to get in west Oz?

The swimming pool whould be to small!! No mater how big it is, unless you have a
50metre 8 lane olympic pool!
Then thats exceptable!
I remember seeing a 10 or 12inch barracuda for sale at a LFS around 2 years ago if not less!

I was only "wishful" thinking...

I would not keep a school of barracuda anyways... Reason is they're a migrating fish, so it'll be cruel to keep them confined. Also they only eat live foods... imagine the expense of feeding 6 barracudas!!! $15 a day for some live fish... sheeesh!

[devilman]

emperor cichlid pair or a HUGE tank with american predators

[sajica]

So many species to choose from...

Amphilophus amarillo is certainly up there along with the so called "Honduran Red Point" variant of Cryptoheros nigrifasciatus and Archocentrus spinossimus
Theraps irregularis

Heros sp Rotkeil is up there too along with Biotodma cupido
Caquetaia kraussi


And seeing as I am affiliated with ANGFA WA....
Melanotaenia parva and Glossolepsis multisquamatus (if only for new blood) personally I'd go the parva over the red eye tigers

I have no need for those flamboyant dressing attention seekers from Africa

[CCA001]

Atm the moment and for awhile now i must admit if i had the $$$ and could get my hands on some it would have to be L046 Zebra Pleco awesome looking pleco.

Otherwise it would definately be some more variants of Wild Caught Frontosas.

For catfish my dream fish is the Synodontis Angelicus, yes I know they are available.

For cichlids I've always liked Copadichromis Mloto "Midnight" or "Ivory"
