Killifish in W.A.
I got a message from someone in Perth on a different forum looking for killifish. What are the regulations on sending fish and eggs to W.A.? Anyone done it? Anyone over that way have any fish for sale? Keith?

Cheers,
Dean

Hi Dean

I can answer that for you as I have sent some over from time to time and have just re-checked with my "friends" in WA Quarantine Service (Perth 9334 1555).

NO eggs, plants or snails permitted in the bag. Fish must also be of sufficient size to be able to be identified (as not on their noxious list) by WA Quarantine.

The person receiving the "livestock" must advise WA Quarantine at least 24 hours in advance so that arrangements can be made to inspect the shipment.

Cheers

Bill

Re: Killifish in W.A.
Please pass on my email address and we can arrange something off-forum. I could be travelling to Perth late next week, so may work out well for your contact.

Just for the record, I'm not prepared to make these arrangement on a public forum such as Killifish Oz. That said, I am always happy to help anyone in any way I can privately

My pleasure Dean
I don't have any objection to people contacting me, in fact, I welcome it. I'm also happy to give fish and eggs away. In some states, keeping certain species is prohibited, eg annuals is SA.

Keith,

Great! Feel free to put your email back in that post.

It may be worth entering it as <name> _att_ <host> rather than name@post to avoid being picked up by trawlers.

What is the WA Killifish scene like? Are there many keepers and availablitlty in stores?

Re: Killifish in W.A.
As the Perth person in question I'd like to say a big Hi and Thanks to everyone! :D

I'm really looking forward to my venture into killi territory. I've wanted to keep killies for quite some time, but haven't been able to source any in Perth till now. I have also been told of a pair of gularis ($50) and a pair of a. australe - lyretail ($30) that are in a lfs in Perth. Is this reasonable for these fish?

TIA
Lisa

Re: Killifish in W.A.
Welcome!.

That price is a little on the high side, most Aphy/Fp. killies go for ~$40 a pair and australe ~$25 a pair retail.
