MAF review of cichlids


polgara

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone is organzing something for cichlids like rob is for the catfish....

We would love to see the spieces we already have to stay in the country and a few that are very rare to become more popular.

If there is someone doing this or people that would like to help us do this with providing photos and things please let us know.

Not much of a list. Then again here in aussie its not that great either. Then again plenty of people here try the old smuggle routine.

The thing with NZ is the water is bloody cold, I don't think cichlids would survive there. Brrrrrrr cold.....and they allow plenty of species that could be a threat, please explain. :lol:

A lady was caught at Sydney airport a couple of months ago with a home made appron with pouches under her clothes. These were full of fish in bags.

Then this.

yeah I know what you mean, they should let more spieces of tropical fish in the country for the one reason being that most of our waterways are to cold for them. There are some awesome cichlids out there I would love to keep, exspecially some of the african ones.

If no one else wants to organise getting pictures and book references for the cichlids i will happily do it if people are willing to help out by sending clear photos of ones they have with there scientific name. That way only one list is getting sent, instead of someone else having to sort through and take out all the double ups.

the thing is YOU have to sign the form SO IF SOME ONE ELSE PRINTS IT, it has to be sent to you for signing, more cost.

a lot of people do a little, rather then a few do a lot :o

ps I already have around 12 forms complete, in the big picture it's nathing, but every little bit helps
