ive never seen a dat in the flesh on australian soil. one thing ive noticed is how cheap alot of marines are here compared to the us or uk. blue spotted stingray-$200 bamboo shark-$200. snowflake eel $55
but then alot of marines are native to australian waters, so they don't have to go through quarantine. oh and if you want to talk to aussie members about non-native fishes, or anything else, there is a thread called "AUSSIE MEMBERS!!!!!" in the lounge.
one of my lfs which used to have a dedicated section towards natives has reduced their number of native tanks from 6 (4 footers) to 1 four footer and a 2 footer. they have sleepy cod, purple spotted gudgeons, yellow eel tail catfish, tandanus catfish and one reasonably large barra. they used to have alot of barras, murray cod, lots of rainbows, bass, perch, grunters and some others ive forgotten.
