kev77 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 You can have unheated outdoor cichlid ponds. No sympathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenswimmers Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 just think all that money you save on heating bills .......you can spend on freight costs......so guess it balances out.... but always sucks when something(particularly fish as not everyone ships) you want isnt accessible...

red demon Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 agree completely with you martib ... freight sucks, as well as putting complete faith in purchasing fish sight unseen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pony-tail Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Just go out to some of the creeks around there and catch some Rainbows and blue eyes - you dont need to bring fish up from down here ! There's even some really nice Gudgeons up there . Some people around here pay good $$$ for fish from up your way .

sarah1234 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 While we're at it I'll have a whinge too. I want all the fish we can't have in Aus! And snakes/reptiles too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
