Thank You both for Your answer. I know about those permits since I am
breeding Galahs( Rosebreasted Cockatoos for those of You who are not in to
birds) and was involved in the worldprotestlists in the 80s to stop the
Australians to kill Cockatoos as rodents. We thought it would be better to
end the ban of export of some species instead of killing them (even if some
of You have great problems with Your crops of seed and sunflower). Still
there are a great number of species from Australia that can be found
outside Au. There must be a lot of aquarists who read this list that keep
those species that I asked for.
I have now received some emails of the list from different people that are
offering me some help. It helps to start a discussion about fish instead of
only spam.
I am still interested in small blue-eyes so if anyone could offer me some
other species I would be glad.
Best regards to You all
