Ah arguable I think the lion fish is a very poor example. on one hand they are the most evasive species on the planet, however they are also very well traveled. They can move from their 'natural habitats' and easily establish in another country without the help of man. So are they a pest or is this just mother nature? However please note I understand that most of these species get to water ways/reef systems through the hand of man.

what tropicals are you talking about?

can you buy them here? ie cat shark, Epaulette shark, bamboo shark ect

That was me and still can't find anything on it. I think a IHS needs to be created like any other species... But would have better chances than for a live animal.

saw this the other day... very interesting... would be great if we could import sperm

Does NZ have a general out line of importing sperm? I can find for dogs, horses and pigs but cant see anything on reptiles. Was wondering is there a general outline of importing sperm?

wonder what they would fetch on the NZ market...

looking for torts... nice looking leo morphs... ect...

just looking for legit replies thanks...

Hi all I go up for a interview on Tuesday for a officers position in the NZ army. I am 22 yo Male, Degree and a Diploma for education. been a bar manager for the past three-four years. Has anyone been through the process and can give me a heads up on types of questions asked and what tests ill sit? Thanks

Just graduated from uni now and the job market is very tight for my choice in jobs, so looking for something to do. I work full time but thinking about taking on my own small business. I know people talk about doing this but I am seriously thinking about doing this at the start of next year once I have saved up a wee nest egg, but financially its not a issue. My question is New Zealand able to support another importer? Looking at freshwater and marines with a breeding room for goldfish. what do you think, can NZ support another one?

anybody know where I can find a good softwear package for german learning or even better a tutor in Christchurch?

I wouldnt think so

yes that is what is controling the activity but how does it change?

Can anyone help with this question? cant seem to find the answer im looking for in txt books or google. In a human, resting cardiac output is approx 5 L min -1 of which 750 ml (15%) goes to skeletal muscle and 1.4 L (25%) goes to the digestive system. During exercise, cardiac output increases to 25 L min -1, with 20 L (80%) going to skeletal muscle, while flow to the digestive system decreases to 300ml (2%). How does the vascular system change to accommodate these changes to blood flow A really simple answer would be brilliant.

there was statistics for older generation Samoans only being able to speak their native language.

start learning NZ sign in a couple of weeks. Then will look at going back to uni next year and doing Russian and German.

was thinking for front-line police, what would aide in my application. Im a white male ages between 18-25 so competition is fierce. I have a degree, I am volunteering in the community by teaching football at high schools just need to learn a language. I start tutoring for NZ sign in the next few weeks but I am going to want/need to learn another language. I am dyslexic so I have been told Mandarin is really hard to get around so was thinking Russian as NZ has a growing Russian community in CHCH but I dont know if its a language that is in demand.

Can anyone tell me what language translators are in high demand in NZ? First I thought Chinese but was wondering if there was a demand for any other language e.g. Russian

:smot: :smot: :smot: :smot: :smot: :smot: :smot: :smot: I wanted to know if there are any members that are police officers, I want to ask them some questions about recruitment ect...

Hi Just wondering if there is an NZ officers on this forum page?

according to mum if a fast learner :slfg: but who knows ay... these threads pop up every couple of months with someone wanting something not here and the discussion always ends in the same answers...

I think you need to move on from this idea of a permit system. It will never happen, NZ doesnt sustain a population of reptile keepers to support this. To run a system like this it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, plus start up costs ect, plus new laws ect... We will never see these animals, not in the immediate years anyway. The market would be tied in anyway. You would have a very select few that could afford to do this... they hold the cards on what they sell and at what price... If i remember correctly you didn't sell female leos for a few seasons to make sure you got max coin and to keep the price as high as possible. Now try that with someone who is operating a business. You may never be able to obtain females. Thus the market price will remain in the thousands. Chameleons are known for their difficulty and not adapting well to captive conditions. Also varo you would probably never be granted a import licence due to the fact that you have been on the inside of a court room for smuggling and I would make a epic MAF worker thank you
