anton Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi, interesting to have found this site by accident. I'm just curious... Is it hard to import fish from new Zealand? How are selection of fishes there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Most of the fish we have here Anton are imported. We do have native fish, but most ppl find them rather insignificant tho Welcome to the pond Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi Anton and welcome. I gather the selection of fish we are able to import is sadly lacking compared to other countries but we still have lots to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi Anton, Good to see we are getting noticed in other countries. Don't think there would be many species here that you could,'t already get over there... but the info on this site is well worth the trip over here Hope you stick around a while... and welcome.

booger Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 what would be involved if someone was to buy fish off you to bring into new zealand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Lotsa munee and red tape. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted May 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2004 Lotsa munee and red tape. Alan I agree! I'm not a trader nor a breeder. I'm not familiar w/ the supply of fishes there so I can't make a judgement whether there is more supply of fishes here in the Philippines. May I know what ype of fishes are in demand there? Maybe I could suggest to you guys where to import from, if ever. btw... how's the quarentine policy there? Are policies there as tedious as Australia? I heard it's really hassle to bring in fish in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though there are some goodies around Frenchy oh, ok... I was told that it was about a month? Anyway 2 weeks is better than 1 month? does shipping in over there cost a lot? How are shipping costs? Does quarantine cost money as well? Are there a lot of paperwork? I hope you don't mind my too much questions. :roll: :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of an Aunt of mine just sent for a 50g tank to our hse and I just thought of making use of it. That was more than 2 yrs ago. Since then my list of fish just kept getting longer and longer! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
