I don't keep fish, but one day I'd love to have a big, multi-species enclosure for a freshwater croc, pig-nosed and northern snapping turtles and some freshwater tropical fish, such as lungfish, barramundi, perch and eels.

Sigh. Maybe one day some of these dreams will become real...

I saw a lung fish for sale at Cairns Ultimate Aquarium the other day. Not sure on price, but would hazard a guess at around $1500.

Well, you havnt seen many native fish then.

Exotic fish are rubbish, anyone who says
otherwise is wrong.
