“Importable” cichlids - a listing. Only the cichlid species
detailed on this list may be legally imported into
Australia. This list is subject to review and may change in the
future.
Other restrictions may apply that are also a prerequisite
for import.
The Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQUIS)
requires that imported fish be inspected upon arrival before
being kept in quarantine for one week. After this the
imported fish are then inspected for a second time.
It is the responsibility of the fish importer to provide the
quarantine environment. The quarantine room must also be
approved by and registered with AQUIS.
