与大师级收藏家Nic Dos Santos定期潜水Ultra Coral Australia,我有机会看到了大堡礁的一个不错的横截面。如果我能说一件事,那就是在GBR中度过的所有时间很多of corals down there!
Why do we get always the same corals from Australia?
Now, I keep on hearing that corals from Australia are boring, that shipments from Australia are always the same, that Indonesian corals were more diverse and interesting than the one from Australia. But the truth is that Indo corals were cheaper, that’s about the only difference but it has a big impact on what gets collected and exported.
但是不要误会我的意思,我的心肯定是在印度,这是我居住的地方,也是我的家人出生的地方。但是,在向前往前走,潜水大堡礁,我终于设法指出了这种珊瑚多样性的印象来自哪里。我们总是从澳大利亚获得相同珊瑚的原因是因为经销商和零售商总是要求相同的珊瑚,这些珊瑚是快速而可靠的珊瑚。
需求总是相同的原因
Coral importers outside Australia predominantly want Strawberry Shortcake Acros, Scolies… and if there isn’t these items, they simply don’t buy, because these are the only corals peoples know and want from Australia. But guess what, this time of selective coral buying cannot be sustained, buying patterns must adapt and change.
Before all the changes importers could get all the corals at a cheaper price from Indonesia, so they would only buy at a more expensive price tag what they can’t get from nowhere else, leading to the fact that Aussie collector were only going for these particular corals.
Collection is far, risky, expensive and complicated. Collectors just can’t take the risk to bring corals they’re not guaranteed to sell. Otherwise they will have to drop them at lower price, and make the reef run not financially sustainable. So if you guys want some different corals, you just have to ask, and accept the higher price than we were traditionally used to.
不仅仅是草莓酥饼!
我知道没有人会为普通的软珊瑚付出疯狂的价格,但是黄色呢肌肉菌,,,,PinkNephthya…?那疯狂的米利斯呢?相信我,有这么多珊瑚值得从澳大利亚进口,但问题是:您准备好了吗?
This is basically what we’ve been trying to achieve with all thesearticles about Australian Corals;了解它们来自截然不同的栖息地,因此需要不同的维护。很难混合Acropora Anthocercis在同一水箱中有Scolys。进口商不愿意对鲜为人知的物种承担过多的风险,如果不确定,进口昂贵的珊瑚对它们存在需求。
请原谅,知识就是力量,只有最终买家才能改变这一点。因此,如果您想要更多的珊瑚多样性,您只需要敢于尝试不同的事情……我们需要赋予您承担计算的风险的力量!
