Charlie Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 do you have a licenced facility to keep them in>>>??? many fish on the import list will never make it in due to mark up... no one is going to pay a good $200 - 300 unless they are series hobysits, even then their are not 300 of them around sadly... Heard a rumor that the L46 was comming onto the lists, dobt will see them put id love to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 thats rather expensive even for AUZ... usually around $1100 AUZ per fish and thats at about 4cm? so mayby but i would rather buy 25 juvies and grow them out??? far better investment (and fun ) I know of breeders that would sell them for $125 USD around 200NZD give or take if i am thinking or the correct exchange rate... But we wont see them for a long time sadly (hope someone will prove me wrong) because id be 1st in line (along with many other people) to snap them up:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 So NZD$200 each. Throw in Freight, customs and quarantine costs, allow for attrition in those proces will give you a fish the wholesalers will want at least $450.00 per fish to make the whole thing worth their while which makes them a "Grand" retail. Or would the importer keep them as a group for the 2 yrs to get to breeding age and then sell offspring? Forget the rumours- they aren't almost here. They are still not allowed as far as ERMA is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 talked to a importer who said they were going to be (+some other fish) added to the 2010 list? Probably imported and breed??? However i talked to the old owner of the goldfish bowl, he told me what their was a wholesaler who was acctually trying to breed them ATM??? so i guess we will see what happens (that is if anything does?)
