I don't post in this section but I thought some may like the read, some may not....

Anyway story goes like this,(This is Aussie & all retail prices) I remember when albino bristlenose were $300 each. End 2003.

Some started pumping numbers out from Melbourne in 2004, price drop to $100 early mid year. End 2004 they were $30 to $60 each.

Now they are $15 to $25 each.

A lfs got a heap in and sold them for $3.50. Some breeders are kicking up a stink. I can see how they feel hard done by but really stiff arm u know...

What is the price of them over there...and one question, is it true that catties are more easily imported than cichlids. As in on the import list, & why is that, it dont make sense? Yes I know they never do, what is there reasoning?
