AQIS Import Condition - C9976 Live freshwater fish may only be imported from approved countries listed below:

Bahrain
Belgium
China
Federated States of Micronesia
Fiji
French Polynesia
Germany
Hong Kong
Indonesia
Kenya
Malaysia
New Caledonia
New Zealand
Philippines
Saudi Arabia
Senegal
Seychelles
Singapore
Solomon Islands
South Africa
Sri Lanka
Thailand
United States of America (USA)

so Japan is not on the list so I assumed you can't import from there. I never believed when LFS owner says their fish are from Japan. Most goldies in OZ are from China or Malaysia

I personally like SVR but TVR is in a class of its own and share the same status as koi. TVR are beautiful but you must have pond and you must have hot weather all year round (which means Melb is out of the picture )
