SAFFABOY Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I'm an avid fishkeeper from South africa.I'm looking to set up a few tanks again once i've moved to NZ.What do young discus cost ,roughly?Are there any good breeders in the Christchurch area? ALTUM ANGELS???? DO YOU GET THEM IN NZ.If not would there be heeps of red tape to import them from outside NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fins Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I don't know much about christchurch but I know a bit about the prosses of importing them. You need a whole transaction facility approved by MAF and I certificate and a lot more. www.maf.govt.nz should have all the files you need to download. There are a few importers into NZ but I dont know anyone that does. I think christchurch has a place called redwoods aquatics which is one of the bigger places to buy fish in NZ and I think they can import what fish you want depending on their suppliers. http://www.redwoodaquatics.co.nz/ you should give them an email Welcome to the fish room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Welcome saffaboy. I believe there are some discus breeders in Christchurch and the largest number of fish shops per population in the country Altum angels are rarely seen here (they have one at Redwoods) and importing fish is very difficult because of our import regulations.

robert Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Redwoods will not import fish that you want ,many people in chch have asked begged and tried,most of the discus he brings in are sold to wholesale outlets and the dregs are left for the rest of us.Critter kingdom are now importing discus but the type breeds are limted, the blue dimonds they have at the monent look quiet good.Feery rd shop has imported discus but the quility is poor and the prices are steep.

robert Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Sorry the prices start at $90 for fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Yeah what's the deal with runty discus for $100?? Every pet shop must think people are dumb. The best selection I've seen is at Jansens in Auckland (the three kings (suberb) one). Quite pricy there too, $70-$200ish but at least some are really good quality.
