Nav Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, Have been following aquarium co-op from the early days - great store and awesome advice and product recommendations as well. I have a few tanks setup at the moment mainly small ones, a 5 gallon pea puffer tank, A 20 gallon community and a 15 gallon rummy nose tetra tank I would love to do a shrimp tank one day but unfortunately, there are no shrimp in NZ in the hobby 😞 - will have to eventually get some paperwork sorted to see if i can import some Edited February 18, 2022 by Nav Image upload 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrey Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Welcome!!! Yes, New Zealand has been very proactive at protecting water and land from invasive species. Aren't there any native freshwater shrimp or similar? A close friend here in NM, USA has dual citizenship. So keeps US pets in the US, and NZ pets in NZ. My spouse has relatives in NZ, but they have never met... It's on our bucket list, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might see if that might be an option though Remember, none of the species were really colorful at the beginning. Selectively breeding has isolated random chroma genetics to develop all the color variations we have today. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Welcome! Beautiful rainbows and pearl gourami in the last pic! Can't see the other pics I'm afraid. My wife is a kiwi who I met here in the states, born in Palmerston North, have family in Hawke's Bay, Auckland and Tauranga. Have fun and let us know how we can help!

That's cool!! - I used to live on the north island, close to the Hawke's Bay actually, a little further north in a place called Gisborne - I am now in the south island down in a place called Dunedin - we are lucky enough to see the Aurora Australis sometimes!
