Great looking Murray Cod mate, well done.
A lot of people often overlook our native tankbusters. This is one prime example. When people want something big and mean with scales, they often think exotic, but we have plenty of big nasty fish that are native to Oz.

Seasonal fish can be a pain, I didn't get myself into gear and missed out on the toga season, so need to wait until December this year, it sucks but that's the way it is.
Remember, every fish has a price, particularly display fish at stores. Offer them more than the fish is worth.
Place an add on the queensland cichlid forum or the ACE forums, have one shipped over.
It all comes down to how bad you want it.

I actually didn't even think about the possibility of needing a translocation permit as they are a native. Maybe someone else who knows more about shipping natives can chime in?

I brought 300 over in December.
If you want to be safe, just fill it out and send it in, it is free to apply and doubtful they would turn it down

You don't need a translocation permit for aquarium species.

Thanks, I have probably read that information a hundred times, can never seem to cement it into my memory.

Curtin University used to breed them in polyculture with silver perch for aquaculture studies, however I believe the exceptional brood stock was moved to an affiliated TAFE, I can't imagine an institution such as this turning down "additional funding" for some fry or what ever.
Might be worth a phone call?
