tHEcONCH Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 It wouldn't be the first time a shop doesn't know what it is that they are selling! Asian Eels, anyone? GE Danio's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 "its changed, maybe you should find something better to do with your time" LOL what a douchebag!! Henward maybe you should find something better to do than try to help an ignorant sod who's just wasted you time advertising mislabeled fish. Some people...... :roll: Perhaps he's never seen one grow to over 50cm in captivity because up until very recently they were very rare in NZ and it takes 4-6 years (maybe more?) to get that big. :roll: :roll: :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 when saw ropefish i was actually going to book a ticket to chch, buy all of them and keep it:D but i found out that they have not come into nz, in fact i dont think ever legally but i wAS EXCITED though. shame its not really a rope fish but yeah, i think he is abit mad at me cos i told him to change it come on rope fish its like selling a silver aro as a gold aro and saying its ok... funny though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 It was probably on the exporter's list as that, but should have been corrected to have been cleared by Maf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
