Feelers Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 If they are the same species just a different phenotype then they would be allowed in... I wonder how that works? The definition of a species is a complex issue, and typically things have been grouped together by the way they look, but the only reliable method is by genetic comparison. I doubt these underwent any genetic analysis and so I'd imagine that's why they are just called Rasbora! That's why the MAF system of going down to the species level instead of the genus one is totally, totally stupid. However it does mean that the system can be totally exploited. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel1708 Posted December 24, 2006 Report Share Posted December 24, 2006 Hey, I know this is an old post - but I was really excited this morning when i saw Galaxy rasboras in the Mt. Roskill Hollywood fish shop! They were $20.80 ea. though a bit expensive for me - but they looked cool - small but colourful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMAZONIAN Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hi all "MERRY CHRISTMAS" Since everyones interested in having some, I'll put in my order as well for a school of 50. :lol: They are indeed beautiful. Maybe someone can get MAF to take some non descript fish off the "Allowed List" and swap them for these little beauties. MAYBE THE MOON'S MADE OF GREEN CHEESE AS WELL, AND "MAF" ARE FAIRY GODMOTHERS. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
