I'm possibly moving to QLD, what are my options for moving some 30cm+ koi over from WA?
if it's not possible, then i guess i have some koi for sale

Not sure about quarantine issues, but I guess you would have to transport by air overnight.

can you get air systems to help keep them alive? I know i'd have to purge them 24 hours before hand and all that.
beyond that how would you do it?

I'd be lazy and sell them :D but if I really wanted to move them I'd be checking with the fisheries dept first.
If that was fine and depending how many you have I'd be using a white foam esky with an aerator attached to the side and the lid taped on tight and a few sml holes in the top.
You would have to check with your airline first though to make sure its ok.

it'd be QLD fisheries that i'd contact right, WA won't give a crap about stuff leaving?

Just one minor problem, might cost you up to $200,000.

Koi are definately illegal here in QLD (and certainly VIC, and perhaps NSW and SA too?).

Don't bet on it.... I have to get a quarantine ticket just to allow a container of BYAP gear to leave WA....
