herefishiefishie Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The problem with the kiwis is the fish ID. Trying to do that by comparing to pictures on a USA for a novice isn't always a good thing. Past history here has shown that. Look at some mbuna & peacocks species, makes it more puzzling as there are so many similar species. & also a novice may see a fish they think there is & it may not even be in the country. Just trying to say to people use caution & best to verify here. Tip: Try writing down the name of the fish from the lfs. I will admit though, on the point of gaining information, yes those sites are very useful. Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
