Squirt Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 [There was a type of cichilids in Asian (Singapore) countries who use them for feet "massages"] I have heard there are mollies or platties (one of the two) in a hot lake near Taupo. What about trout? I assume not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Depends on the region, in the upper north island rudd and perch? are around but are not considered pest fish, but are considered pest fish in other regions. I think that there are sailfin mollies at little waihi on taupo, swardtails and guppies in some rotorua/reporoa thermal streams, I also believe that there have/still are others Oh and trout/gambusia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
