I'm not sure what the situation is there, Chris... I'm sure it has happened in
the past, but unsure of how legal it is...

Not sure, you'll have to ask around...

Chris... This list functions as a bulletin board of sorts for those
after a particular fish wanted/spare... I said in a posting a while
back that I'd be happy if it were used as a "Trading Post" of sorts as
long as there was no full-on commercial spamming... No-one objected at
the time, or since, so I guess it is still OK. If you know someone
who is coming to Australia, or an Aussie going over there, who can
"legally" (otherwise, don't involve the list ;) ) bring fish in for
you, then by all means ask about the availability of the fishes here,
via the list. I don't know how much room Roy H. has to take fish back
(you'll have to ask him that!) but I am sure that we could persuade
people to come up with at least some of his/your wish list. What if
you clear it with Roy, then post a wish list here... as long as it's
OK with Roy, that is.
