According to AQIS, 40-50 quaranteen rooms opened for operation last year in NSW alone! How many survive is anyones guess?

this may be a silly question but , what is the name of the company?

if it is exotic discus, wouldnt that be a tad non decriptive of your actually goals..

Its actually Paradise Ornamental Fish Traders also trading as Exotic Discus.
Exotic Discus is however the old established name and the only one recognised.
Want to eventually make the 2 businesses seperate with Exotic Discus perhaps moving to different premises but until now Discus has been the main source of income.
All hickups with AQIS now sorted and shipments of other things will be arriving over the next few weeks.
Bobs days of fishing and having a great time are fast coming to an end  :lol: He was still working around midnight last night with big Discus shipment in and a small Goldfish one too :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
Cheers Linda

Hi Linda and others!
Has been a long time since I dropped in.  I see my poor "AussieBettas" banner is still out of shape!
In Decemeber 2005 we expanded the importing business and now bring in a full range of fish, trading under "Fishchick Aquatics".  Like Bob and Linda we are keen to purchase locally bred stock.  What we have purchased so far has been of excellent quality.  (even the local fancy guppies - tough as nails!)
Believe it or not we need a steady supply of the common stock - convicts, jewels, severums, rams, acaras, kribs etc  So if you have excess fish to sell, please drop me a line.
As stated earlier - wholesalers will pay wholesale prices!  Nothing ticks me off more than people trying to sell me fish AFTER they have done the rounds of the shops, and still expecting the same price.  You'll burn your bridges really quickly with that sh*t.  A rule of thumb is to double the price for the shop.
Oh BTW Linda - Bob is in for a hell of a shock if he's had time to swan around the creeks and rivers.  We regularly work 24hrs straight packing for large shipments, and every import sees us unpacking fighters until 2am or later. Eat, sleep, live, breathe fish............ :P
Cheers, Jodi-Lea

Braddo Slowly getting things sorted out for German and Chinese shipments and with time will have a good range of all things even catering to the more specialized side of the market.
Jodie I hope you are getting a bit more sleep!!
You were looking pretty worn out at Auction.
Best of luck with new venture and will catch up with you at Caboolture Show.
I see from post in General Section you've been conned into an entry too.

Some of us just don't know when enough is enough :D  :D  :D
Cheers Linda

Just a quick plug.....

Fish from Exotic Discus will soon be available to the public from Ultimate Aquarium Cairns.
NO...not our shop but does now belong to our oldest son and his wife.
Must empasize though that this is a regular Retail shop and we have no financial connection to it at all so prices ect to be arranged with them only and none of our business as with any other retail outlet
They are also looking at some of Fishchicks fancier stock and same applies.
Cheers Linda

Hey linda keep me posted as the future is looking even brighter here. Hothouse going up end of june and galvanised stands starting soon as well as fibreglass and poly tanks and ponds going in. All my raising in the hothouse with automatic water changes and breeding in climate controlled shed until I outgrow here and have been offered some land near gympie to put a hothouse and room onto. With bore water that is drinkable so the future is looking bright at the moment lets just see how the next 2 years play out.
