  2. These fish can grow up to 75cm in length, weighing up to 9 kg, but their average size is 40-50cm and 1-2kg in weight. the one i have is 26cm, grown from 8mm to that size in 12 months, it is in a 1300L tank
  3. don't stick larger wild caught ones in a tank unless it is 1,000L plus they are 60kph fish in a short spurt
  4. They will get too big for that too, fish with turbo boost. As juvies they learn to live in a tank, mullet are a better option
  5. Kawhai need lots of swimming room and clean well oxygenated water can grow to 30cm in their first year lidded tank
  6. the extra costs probably relate to the time and data used to communicate with the scientists and lab equipment in the background that every thing is sent to
  7. Similar to when there wasn't much competition in the importing of marines It will make breeding and fragging a more viable proposition for some
  8. It appears that they are doing this to recover costs and make it more equitable for all importers with some possibly paying less
  9. i hope they are rotkiels too
