anyone know if it is allowed to have eggs sent from oversee's specially of species that have been reported here at some stage or another and if we are allowed is there some kinda huge cost?

Eon , it is a BIG NO NO , MAF will not like you!.

fish eggs are prohibated ,it is not posable to identafy the species and then there is the matter of quarentine too.

for the sake of being pedantic. Only poultry fertilised eggs are allowed IF they are certified with a certificate of health, however live poultry cannot be imported. I checked on this while trying to persuade a friend to let me have some hackle chicks. Since there are 4 owners worldwide of premium genetic hackle chickens I have a better chance of hell freezing over first.

There is only a huge costif you get caugh Eon.

lol i gather that.....would it be worth it??

That would be up to you - no?

If You Were Caught, and its a pretty good chance you would be,

Count on at least the following

Fine (Quite a large one)

Criminal Conviction

Probabale removal of every fish you have for Inspection (Costs Involved In This As Well)

Is it worth it for 50 Fish?

No

no not worth it i just saw the list and what used to be in nz and wondered why those species aint here anymore??....they are allowed in and used to be here and do not cost alot to buy oversea's....prob comes in with getting them in here all the extra costs add up and soon a fish that i could get for the cost of postage, end up costing me my left arm and right testicle, is there anyway we could get fish here cheaper?
