puttputt Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 yep, he's a beaut, been eyeing him up as well, but would really like the marine betta in the same tank, but would have to kiss cleaner shrimps goodbye.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You robbed them at that price?? In Australia you can pick them up for around $80 AUD.... Hardly a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feelers Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 In Australia you can pick them up for around $80 AUD.... Hardly a steal! Well beer is expensive over there so we'll call it even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 You robbed them at that price?? In Australia you can pick them up for around $80 AUD.... Hardly a steal! It was a bargain at $172. we dont get then at our door step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chevron Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Fair enough, though we have to import quite a lot of our stock as well, from Hawaii, Red Sea, Vanuatu, Indonesia.. Out of curiousity what are general prices for livestock such as purple tangs, majestic angels, blue face angels, gold rim tangs & yellow boxfishes over in NZ? And you're right, we do pay more for the beer over here, even though it tastes like crap.. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 You robbed them at that price?? In Australia you can pick them up for around $80 AUD.... WOW a fish from Austraila is cheaper in Austrailia than is NZ! Fair dinkum? pffft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t ask, it will open a whole can of worms as the perception is from some naive hobbyist that importers and retailers are making a killing. I see in Australia a cleaner shrimp cost over Aud$100.

Feelers Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I saw coral babded shrimp for $20aud. Definately waaay cheaper over there for all the stuff I saw - and that was only in one tiny shop. I talked to the guy running the sotre and he said it was all the import restrictions we have making it more expensive- which makes sense. Then I saw VB - 6 for $12oz. Haha, its way cheaper over here - and its been imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquatopia Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 You robbed them at that price?? In Australia you can pick them up for around $80 AUD.... Hardly a steal! Would it cost you less than the $172 he paid minus the $80 you would pay to bring one here for me ? Jump on that plane mate.... I'll even shout you a beer too.
