HummingBird Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 hahah yeah, but ten years ago they were a bit more lax about these things 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I doubt red-tails have ever been legally imported into NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snookie Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 good luck , what i heard they are second grade . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_elmo Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 yeah they are low grade. A grade is 3k+ which is out of the budget for now...hehe the import can get a few different types, all depends on how big your wallet is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'll be interested to see what they look like, I'm no connoisseur of arowanas, but I thought that price was pretty cheap for a red, especially considering its nearly half what jansens were selling golds for. I Imagine top grade reds would go for much higher than $3k, you could probably blow the deposit for a house on a really nice one! Regardless of their colour, I'd still love to own one as they're amazing fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snookie Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 i still wouldnt say no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil_elmo Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 everytime i go back to hong kong i drool over their arowanas, the top top grade stuff never have price tags, its more like how much are you willing to pay for it the price of a low grade here is the price of a A grade over there *same size of course* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted September 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 i still wouldnt say no Me neither! Infact I might just say yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 that freshwater ray would be mean. i went to singapore very common there, they are so cool but i would love a school of piranhas or aripaima gigas in a massive outdoor pond:D alligator gar also would be nice. but i love the arowanas, i would love a red, gold, red tail any of the more rare arowanas would be great!
