As this thread is closed, please pm me!
We all had some nice discussions on this, and I took some important information and contributions, that is relevant to this thread and put it in here. This is for information only, and not to start a new debate.
A lot of members, benefit from this, ie: Blacklists and Whitelists -a lot of us did not even know that it existed!

All Jewel cichlids are blacklisted!
Quoting Big G: "Yes unfortunately the Jewel Cichlid is a blacklisted species. There are a number of different types of Jewel, but as far as I know ALL Jewels are on that list. Of course things become complicated since most people don't use scientific names, whereas the blacklist is labelled by scientific names. This can lead to mistakes/misidentification due to several fish sharing the same common name, but we do try to get it right as much as possible! In this case we are certain we have it right!"

Quote from Henk Hugo:
"Re: Hemichromis lifalili - Blood-Red Jewel Cichlid
almal van hulle. geen jewels is op die import white list nie"

Quote from Zebra Pleco:
"As long as we don't encourage the keeping of illegal fish and plants I really don't see the need to act on behalf of the DEAT. They have people working for them, they should be visiting the LFS's and checking their stock and import lists, it's not our job to act as policemen."
and:
"This is the way I see it....

99.9% of people that post their blacklisted fish or plants on the forum had absolutely no clue when they went into the lfs and bought this illegal fish, if they honestly knew a fish was illegal then I'm sure they wouldn't have bought it. It's not their fault, most of the time. Now by us not allowing them to talk about their fish is basically saying the fish must be killed or even worse, throw it in a river. We need to educate these guys and tell them the fish is illegal so they can try and take it back to the lfs if possible, if not then we need to help to look after this fish, after all it's not the fishes fault that he was illegally collected and sold, he deserves to be looked after and kept alive. If someone gets really scared about their fish being illegal then they may just dump it in a dam or a river, then there's problems.

Just make it clear that we encourage the person to take the fish back to the shop and that it can not be sold on the forum.

Well that's my thoughts on the subject."

Quote from Big G:
"I think the majority of us have had some form of blacklisted species whether it be Plants or Fish, at some point, even perhaps without knowing it. But the point is that we need to ensure we do not encourage the sale and trade of these items.

The list is there for information, and can assist us in making decisions about what to purchase?

If you already own a blacklisted item, then it is not ethical to cull it, and we are not telling you to go out and hang it at dawn, but rather not to discuss them on the threads of TASA. If you need to know how to look after a blacklisted item that you already have, then google is your friend!

WE do not want to create a sudden panic, and have you all go out and dump your blacklisted fish into our river systems. That is the very last thing we want!

But having said that, we strongly encourage ALL members to go ahead and do thorough research on any fish or plant they wish to purchase, and find out their Scientific name, check this against the blacklist, and if it appears there, do not purchase it. We should also consider reporting LFS's that have such species, as they should know better (theoretically)!

Have fun, and enjoy the hobby, but remember the rules are there to help avoid issues, not to hamper your fun!"

 

If its not on the white list its not getting past the airport - as simple as that. i have seen some MAJOR screaming matches as fish names have changed or moved into a family of their own - hence it doesnt match the white list but it is the same fish.

 

So, we are done with the blacklist, and now to edit this, as per post #2!

The department and scientific world only work with scientific names.
The few common names are mostly given by locals where the fish are found. Some importers and lfs's find it best to try and sell them with "nice" names, like: Parrot; balloon; and other names like mountain minnow etc.
They have a blatant disregard for scientific names, and will sometimes call the same fish, two different names in 2 separate shops! This start on the lists that the wholesaler sent out! Most lfs-owners don't know what the scientific name is, for a guppy or neon!

 

From Zoom:

"When we did the fish blacklist, people keep asking about Jewel cichlids being blacklisted, and then their arguement is that their fish is not specifically named on the blacklist in the scientific name? Remember Henk told us ALL Jewel's are blacklisted?

Well, I've just found out that due to the number of hybridization of these fish, the DEAT find it almost impossible to name every Jewel, because every month there's a new one out. ALL Jewel cichlids fall into SUBfamily called "Pseudocrenilabrus". If you go look at out blacklist, you will find the DEAT have mentioned "Pseudocrenilabrus Spp" which means ALL species of "Pseudocrenilabrus" are blacklisted, i.e ALL Jewels.

Just thought I'd share with you."
