VickiPS Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) For reference, I've compiled a list of links to Australian Commonwealth and States web sites that contain information about permitted and noxious fish species (updated 17 January 2009). Some governments are more helpful that others in telling residents what fish they can and can't keep, but at least these links will take you to the right place to find out.

Jess Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Thanks for posting that Vicki It's amazing what says is required to have a permit for in S.A many of the Cichlidae, I see some of them in the shops. I suppose it must be hard to regulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betta_Endeavours Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I had a lovely Chocolate (emerald) cichlid but for a few years I didn't know if it was legal, illegal or a permit fish. It changed according to who I spoke to. A disaster with the heater and secondary disaster with replacement heater meant he got sick and in the end I put him down. Now I know he was illegal but still miss him and the Oscars aren't a patch on what he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishchick Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 many thanks to Vicki for her work in finding these links. Daff/AQIS have one of the most disorganized and difficult web site to navigate. Truly appalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Just some clarification on the "Permitted species List for Queensland" I enquired with fisheries and was told that I needed a permit to keep any fish not on this list..... mmmm....Lots of fish not on this list are being sold and kept in Queensland....without permits!!! I suppose my shellies and Central Americans are...."dwarf cichlids"???? and my Peacock Gudgeons are "rainbowfish" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billphil Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Very grateful for the work done in getting together that information. It just (particularly Queensland) confirms my opinion that the lists are probably prepared by bureaucrats who know very little about fish. For example in Queensland, the striped kribensis is listed as allowable. Does that mean that all other kribensis are not allowed or all other kribensis are considered dwarfs OR....

Rod Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) You are spot on Bill......lists prepared by clerks....but their ignorance is our favour???? This is another link for Queenslanders.....Another list???....page 22 Apparently Pelvicachromis pulcher are "Dusky kribs" Pelvicachromis taeniatus are "stripped kribs" I like Rainbow fish......Glossolepis spp The legislation is there....just no one polices it.....YET!
