Aussie natives Stocking.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Just missed out on getting 3 nice looking Jungle perch today from the LFS - pissed off that I didn't go in earlier as they are one of the few fish I'd find a space for no matter what.

Too bad cos I got rid maybe 50 of them not long ago for real cheap. A certain someone on here got a killer deal.

Blackspot Estuary Cod are the only ones that will tolerate low salinity min 10 ppt and less for short periods, but will die in pure fresh. When I was young and did not understand about osmosis and diffusion killed a couple trying keep them in fresh.
cheers,
Steve.

ps. love your avatar cogs hope you feed that Gar plenty of Barred Grunter.
 
Does anyone one have any ideas of suitable natives for a year round outdoor pond on the north coast of NSW .To give you an idea of conditions I have a 3 ft tank outside at the moment with some convicts (doing hard time, no heater) and a couple yabbies (yes it is well covered) which was at 14.3 degrees and the outside air temp of 8.5 degrees tonight @ 11.00 pm.
It does get a little cooler but the pond will be insulated and have a cover in winter to try and keep the temp over 15 degrees hopefully
Size is yet to be determined but will depend on species ,probably up to 1.5m x 3-4m x .8 deep

If you can keep it 15 degrees Leis are ok short periods of 12 wont worry them woulld require a net they like to jump.
Any Cod are ok Murrays easy to get Marys harder the rest protected.
Any Terapontids but def + 15 for northern sp. tandanus barra bass yellas and any southern natives ok
