Nice budget home setup , would fail all of Mafs requirements for a quarantine room.

Whilst medication is a quick fix, you need to find the underlying issue which is likely to be high nutrients. Also high temps in summer seems to bring out cyno. Vodka also held to reduce cyno

Cleans and removes, heard good reports about it working well, using antibiotics is not ideal as it kills your filter bacteria.

their is far more important things for doc/Maf to worry about like making it hard to import tropical fish

Most are sold as they were a special order, i doubt stores will be stocking them due to the cost.

No Problems. its very rare to get Wild Discus in NZ.

basically cheap budget grade equipment. i have a temp controller and every time you get a power cut it resets, no great. all it does is turn on the co2 via a solenoid valve when the ph gets to a certain level,

$399 is not a bad price by HFF, as once these are sold then it might be years before you see any again, if any.

It cost what it cost, anyone can charge what they like. but $400 or so seems a far price given they are not your everyday fish.

So none in NZ then , could be a good market for a breeders.

how many breeders are there for Hypancistrus zebra these day?

Nice, but as mentioned no market in nz

getting low iron Starphire Glass in nz, it cost quite a lot vs normal glass.

Thats because if there was they would go broke due to lack of income.

No importer will be using antibiotics, that is guaranteed, because they are not allowed to use it. As mentioned Guppies are susceptible to Iridoviruses., no antibiotics will help. I doubt any main importer in NZ would really care. if the fish are fertile or infertile, they just sell them as is.

has no logic Guppies are susceptible to Iridoviruses and this is likely cause of deaths. when buying them best to further quarantine then for a few weeks before adding to your tank.

Guppies are known to carry viruses , so it is likely that when then get stressed it weakens the the fish. I would find it to believe that antibiotics would be used as it is expensive and from experience it is not worth treating fish as treatments always seem to have limited results. Also viruses can't be cured.

Trt again as i turned camera off.

Pretty much so.
