Nice
Where did you buy him?
Where did you buy him?
Thanks
I'm in Australia
Most of the ones available to us are from New Caledonia not Australia. The recent batch of NC ones is no cheaper for us than for you. Globally an Aussie conspic is seldom exported, except for the occasional hybrid that usually goes to Asia. Places where they are really plentiful eg Lord Howe Island are illegal to collect from.
The spots Aussie ones are available to local commercial collectors are usually off limits (no take zones) and so when the odd one is caught, typically in SE QLD, the wholesale price of the fish is much higher than an import. Restrictions combined with saavy local collectors mean the days of relatively affordable conspics for us are long gone.
But back to the original post: Great way to kick off the new tank Ryan.

Thanks Angie and perfect summary, think the last locally caught one went for $7500 if I am correct.Most of the ones available to us are from New Caledonia not Australia.
