Whilst there is a slim chance I am incorrect, it is more than likely I am not but these fish are rarely traded and there may well be restrictions on their import into Australia. As said I may be wrong but may be worth contacting your Import/Export department to see if they are allowed in.
So many species of fish yet so little time, space and money to keep them all...

There was talk a while back of a possible relaxation of some restrictions and these possibly coming to the UK but that failed to materialise, with the UK restrictions in mind I very much doubt they will ever be seen in Australia unless a juvenile could make it through as a contaminant :(

Thanks Dave, I have seen that one(in the species index, not in the flesh) but never connected that common name with it,
