  1. Unfortunately new species will never be added, thr process cost money and it's not a priority for bio security. Even if something is in nz you have to go threw the approval process.
  2. I Think the last time someone imported plants was about 10 years ago.
  3. Will never be allowed to be imported in our lifetime, :sml1: :sml1:
  4. You have to go to EPA to approve new organism just like fish, then once they approve it then MPI do a disease risk. Nice to get it approved, however unlikely plants will ever be imported.
  5. just leave it alone, might go away,
  6. Try trade me, see some stunning discus for sale.

    Tank Update

    Tank test results today for Nyos test kits and Salifert test kits po4 . zero nitrate . zero Magnesium 1400 calcium 420 KH 8 potassium 400 Added a copperband and white tail tang, had them in QT for 12 weeks before adding to tank. All looking good. Not doing much to the tank, just add daily Nyos amino acids & coral foods.
  9. Over and out, good luck with your submissions. will leave it with experts like you to sort it.
  10. There is no proposed extended quarantine. They are not. i noted that in other post, i import fish and deal with MPI vets.
  11. . put that in your submission to lengthen the quarantine. would really be helpful. Like i said we could debate this forever. fish imported also depend whether they make contact with certain other fish. the ocean is far away from most tanks. And to add in the perfect world quarantine would be longer , but it comes down to practicality and cost, i think most would cry if they had to pay $50 for guppy.
  12. MPI vets check fish, but that is not what they are qualified to do, they mainly check horses/ cats/dogs/sheep etc. fish is the least thing they do.
  13. what rubbish, what has that got to do with court? just because they are vets does not qualify them to be experts on fish. compared to a person that has fish for 20 years and has work experience with fish disease daily. not sure it's confidential , how is your going.
