Are shrimp and crayfish still blacklisted?

If they breed.. PM me. I need feeders too

Hi

Please see this article.

R10 million fine or jail when caught having in possession.

 

Scary thought.

I know they can do this, but this species is much smaller and doesn’t burrow

Ok... this is simply to clarify this point and in NO WAY meant at defending ownership of crayfish

The amendment list published in February 2018 is only the proposed amendment at this stage
It was published in Feb and then put out for public comment, i think until end of April
If no disputes or proposed changes were to be addressed, it was supposed to be tabled to go for approval and gazetted on the 29th July 2018
I have checked and I have not been able to find any public notice anywhere stating that it was gazetted and the number but then the 29th July was only 2 weeks or so ago so I will keep checking
NEMBA also still has it as proposed amendment and not gazetted.

I also saw there are a number of fish which they have marked as 'new' which i am pretty sure were on the 2016 list already but i will do a comparison tomorrow when i get a free moment and see


@JacquesVermaak,

Thanks for the link to that article
My Afrikaans is not 100% up to scratch but I think I understood most of it

Its like I always say... we have the blacklist and we have people's conscience and responsibility
Where the blacklist is not entirely clear, use your conscience and be responsible
If you knowingly or unknowingly did something silly and let yourself into something you should not have or regret, deal with it in a humane and responsible way
But instead, invariably, people go to the nearest river or Dam and get rid of their mistakes there.

Cant he suply you with a list

 

Hi All, sorry to re-open this, whats the status on shrimp? OLX shut down my add, im assuming someones was not too happy with me selling my shrimp at half pet shop prices and reported me. because I see all other shrimp adds still there. can I take them on or am I looking for trouble? from what I understand importing is not allowed but buying/selling and trading is fine?

 

Shrimp is fine yes, they even block adds for cichlids because they are apparently "blacklisted".

 

LOL, i had a big fight with them yesterday, they eventually removed all shrimp adverts, i think im a wanted man in the shrimp market for screwing it up for everyone.

 

We need a facepalm emoji...

 

haha!! damn, that was gonna be my next service!!
they did threaten to report to authorities, so im not sure i want to take a chance at another add..
until i am sure that it is legal to trade shrimp

 

Hahaha report you to what authorities? Shrimp isn't on any list so won't hold up in court even if they tried. Leave them be rather as it looks like the avarage IQ there is single digits. I mean come on....voodoo, really, is this 1918 or 2018. Now that I think about it, someone could probably report them to the authorities for religious discrimination.

 

HAHA!!I guess its not worth the hassle in the end

 

Sell on FB and forums

Facebook marketplace doesnt allow for it, i have advertised on forum, i think most members already have, gumtree seems ok with it.

I will be following up with olx next week.

 

Hi guys.

Sorry to ressurrect a somewhat old thread. I also checked Fauna & Flora's lists a while back and didn't see any shrimp species classified as illegal or invasive but at the same time had a local LFS not wanting to sell shrimp to me because it's illegal? Yet there's a lot more shops that do actually sell all kinds of shrimp. Crayfish is definitely a big no on the lists but where does the confusion come in about shrimp?
