jim r Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 What exaclty is your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 I think what jayci is trying to say is they are trying to track down some egyption mouthbrooders and they believe they maybe missing in NZ does anyone have any? And if anyone else is trying to track down a fish that used to be around and someone might have they can post too.. I haven't seen egyption mouthbrooders for ages hopefully someone has some! And I would like to see some Checkerboard cichlids Dicrossus filamentosus (Crenicara filamentosa) I used to keep them ages ago and haven't seen any around.. Heres some pics http://images.google.co.nz/images?hl=en ... ages&gbv=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 lol didn't this thread disappear fast With absolutly no potential of finding any of these fish.. Maybe it is as sad as I thought that we may have lost a heap of species in NZ as people haven't kept them going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayci Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 Well Hopefully, if there is a missing species list, someone down the line can say,"hey I got that fish" or "I know someone with that fish" and it won't be missing anymore.

David R Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 PIKE CICHLIDS!!! Crenicichla. They're on the list, I saw two for sale in Napier a while ago, but thats the only time I've heard of them in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the whole idea of the thread but noone has seen any of the ones identified so far.. David R if you want something thats on the list contact redwoods and they will try and get it, if you saw some in Napier why don't you own them already I cant help with either of those 2 don't think ive ever seen either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David R Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 David R if you want something thats on the list contact redwoods and they will try and get it, if you saw some in Napier why don't you own them already A. they were for sale as part of a package with 3 huge dats, some other cichlids and a 6' tank. B. Transporting two foot long fish from napier to auckland would have been a pain C. the guy didn't want to separate, and transporting all that from napier was too much hard work, especially considering that I wasn't set up to keep them. I'll try redwoods, do they deal with certain suppliers, or will they go where ever I tell them? Jeff Rapps has some wonderful fish that are on the list and I'd love to order some if enough people were keen to pay the money for quality fish.

ryanjury Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Fair enough man. I think it comes down to where they are getting their fish from, if they could source a whole lot from a supplier and get what you wanted im sure they would do it, give them a call and see what they can do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 aargh! I just went to check Rapp's site and whats the first thing I see!! Reckon I could pass them off as Uaru amphiacanthoides if I get them small enough? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 lol dont you wish There are alot of fish coming in like that fusco's livingstonii and giraffes seem to be all on the last lot imported as giraffes and they are quite different fish..

David R Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 I'm sure the authorities would be so clueless they'd never even notice, even if they did try to correctly I.D them.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 lol yeah the guy that came out to get my glofish was clueless was looking at all my tanks saying how clean they were and how cool my fish were didn't even bother looking in half of them no doubt he wouldn't have seen a RTC or a piranah or anything if I had one..
