she should be answering everything

if he's out your way he knows what he is doing

can be hard to attach strange chicks to a bantam

have you tried ringing around the glass places, you may get lucky and someone may have some 2nd hand 10 or 12mm

hurry up and get the tank finished

have you already done a submission reef? if so maybe you can help start the ball rolling

matter now of people putting there hand up and saying i will help if i can picking a group of fish, david and henward had wanted to do polypterus navarre had mentioned aulanocora

welcome to the forum

the hardest and most costly part of any application is the research to back up why the fish should be allowed in and will not become a threat to our ecology in the future you could spend your money and time and still be denied

reef mooted the sum of $2,000 earlier in the thread spread around a few interested people it wouldn't be much each working on fish similar to ones already on the allowed list would be easiest and hopefully more successful once the application has been done once it will provide a template for further ones

that is why it is called a society that is why a lot of things don't get done it takes a lot of tolerance to other peoples opinions to get a diverse group to achieve an end result

don't take it personally, it was not meant that way you can't make people conform to your expectations of the way they should behave we need to take into account that while we may be passionate about certain aspects of the hobby others don't really care or latin names may be beyond them maybe if shops started listing the latin name as well on their fish might help to educate some people the fnzas as jennifer has stated is made up of members doing things on a voluntary basis an some aren't as passionate as others do as much as you can at filling out the form then email it to others on here who are interested in helping, so they can add to it reef has had some experience with this get as much of the form done collaboratively between passionate people then forward it to the fish committee

no attitude involved just a fact

a disagreement on the short changing of .2 of a litre

like life there are all sorts of people in this hobby and to the average hobbyist the Latin names are just gobbledegook

beautiful fish in the flesh photos don't do them justice as they move they change from white to a pink sheen then a blue sheen all depends on how the light reflects off them i think

again jennifer

and while scientists are undecided about where a certain fish belongs how can maf say yes or no

that is a pity the ones who expend their time and money should be allowed 1 shipment before others can apply to bring them in already have those

good idea, it could be funded by those who will most gain financially from the import of new species perhaps a small surchage on each fish could recover any outlay for them i am sure hobbyists wouldn't mind that to get new species in their tanks not a lot of money for the importers to all chip in but it may be hard to get them together to form a committee
