i have some siamese fighting fish. cool little guys...

my family used to have a huge fish tank full of heaps of tropical fish......

.... then our heater thermostat buggered up while we were away on holidays, and it literally cooked our fish :( so we don't have that anymore lol

I was looking for turtles in Australia but seems that as MM said, permits are required? Was thinking of getting a star turtle/tortoise (Whats' the diff?)

[70NYD]

turtle/tortise on lives on land other is amphibius (webbed feet/wings vs stumps) n i 4get what the
permit is i think 50 for 5 years its just a reptile permit so its same for snakes turtles etc
i used to havea turtle but it kinda ran away LOL i let it out of the tank to "run" around the back yard n i went inside to make coffee when i came back out she was gone :(

I'm pretty sure that it all falls under the "Recreational Wild Life Licence" you can have snakes, turtles and frogs under that licence. I have one for my 10 Pythons.

I have 2 cats :p
They love fish... :D

[gtarone]

When i was in china, you could buy turtles off the street, from babies to grown-ups. Not for pets i would assume :D

[bourbon]

yay we got the fish!!! ended up getting : 4 Mono's, 2 silver tail sharks, 2 black knife catfish & a female bristlenose catfish (about 8cm big, and hoping to get a male 1 in a few weeks same size).

i thought it was gonna be cramped in there but we can fit a **** loads more of fish in there...
