Aussie natives Stocking.

Or, a setup I saw in a public aquarium that I liked a lot was 4 australian lungfish with archerfish and rainbowfish.

lol, those rainbows would just be expensive feeders.

It did look like a pretty good looking tank tho. I'd try it with a small lungfish. <22"

I'm in the process of getting all my eel tails out of the pond and back into the 6ft.
Tell ya what it ain't easy
So far I have only been able to get two Yellow eeltails out.
I still have:
2 x yellow eeltails
3 x black eel tails (Noesulurius ater)
3 x rendahls eel tails
1 x tandanus tandanus
and 1 x golden eeltail

to go....


Wish me luck


p.s. the 6ft's stock is currently:
3 x tandanus tandanus
2 x yellow eeltail
50 x firetail gudgeon
20 x mosquito fish (gambusia)

hows bigs your tank? xD

Its only a three foot grow-out at the moment. The advantage is when they grow I can get another tank if I want to keep them. Just have to sneak another 180g tank in where my wife might not notice it

Be careful about the tarpon. They're very mellow, and learn to hand feed quickly, but they are eating machines. Having a school of 6-7 inchers will result in you going through pellets faster than you ever knew was possible.

On the other hand, if you got a jar and a lung, the jar might wind up harassing and hurting the lung, which of course, will be very expensive...You might be able to keep a lung with a couple of tarpon though. A few big movers and one big bottom feature.

Yeah my current thinking is jar on its own in 8ish footer (Fortunately doesn't have to be too deep) and a lung + something else ?tarpon/?other probably in an outdoor pond. We already need to build a pond for our turtles so another shouldn't be too much more work Doesn't really worry me how much the tarpon eat as the only real reason I go to work is to pay for my hobbies and to put my wife through uni. Can't cost me much more than what I already pay to feed my dogs+parrots+lories+pythons+lizards+turtles+other fish.

I have a baby murray cod with a fly river turtle.

How's that for a Aussie native tank?

Thinking about getting an Australian lungfish too when the cod gets big enough.

 

[cogs]

i might be wrong but your cod might kill your frt soon

I wouldn't do it, unless you have the miracle nice Murray cod... He will kill everything and it only gets worse the older and larger they get.
