All the aquatic animals you’ve kept

[Colin_T]

If it's been imported into Australia, I have kept it.
If it's native to Australia or New Guinea, there's a chance I have kept it.
If it's small and comes from the ocean, I have probably kept it.

Some of the stuff I have kept includes:
frogs, newts, turtles, all sorts of fresh & salt water shrimp and crayfish, crabs, sea anemones, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, corals, dumpling squid, cuttlefish, octopus, fresh and saltwater stingrays, a small saltwater shark, stonefish, bullrout, Butis, barramundi, saratoga, numerous perch, Lepidogalaxias, Galaxias, Galaxiella, rainbowfish, fresh and saltwater eels, fresh and saltwater catfish, pacu, most cichlids, most tetras, most barbs, most rasboras and danios, fresh and saltwater butterflyfish, fresh & saltwater angelfish, blennies, fresh & saltwater gobies, damselfish, wrasses, leather jackets & triggerfish, batfish, seahorses, pipefish, rotifers, gammarids, daphnia,

there's probably more but can't think clearly now.

Like @Colin_T if it can be imported into NZ then I have kept it. I have done only a little with Marine. If a freshwater fish can be bred, then I have bred it (With a few exceptions). I have also experimented with fish not usually bred.

Convicts?

shhh, my ancestors were convicts. But they were more black & white striped, whereas I am pink and blue

The Cracker Aboriginals got their name from one of my early ancestors that was sent here with the first fleet. British & French ancestry on one side (Cracker is meant to be pronounced Crac-qwer) My friends used to joke and say the Aboriginals were fine until my ancestors added their blood to them. Now they are all screwed up. It wouldn't surprise me if they were right though

I always knew you were dodgy; it is your fascination for cats that gives it away, your ancestors were cat burglars. No wonder they were sent to Australia.
