Can anyone provide me with some Tilapia fingerlings or adults?
I can pay for them and the shipping costs to Canberra.

Ah got it. Wrong section. Admin please delete.

Check if it's legal to have them first, in most states it is illegal to posses them.

Yep illegal in Aus... anywhere.

and a shame that they are common in QLD. streams, and I hear also in many NSW streams..

I would be confident that they would never escape from the average AP system, but then.. there are events that folk never imagine would ever happen.. like retention dams collapsing..

I just came back from Brisy and went looking in some local streams, where they had been reported as common-place, but none to be seen.. The older ones are "Said" to die off in winter (being tropical fish) but I wonder if they just play doggo on the bottom..
