Went netting...Australian style

Will try and answer the questions...yes the snakehead gudgeons do well in a big enough tank. These fish will be coming back to Brisbane with me for mine and some friends tanks. Am in Cairns housesitting for my parents while they are overseas for the next few weeks. No fishing today, spent the day wakeboarding and thrashing the jetski up at Tinaroo Dam. Tomorrow am heading down to Harvey Creek for Psuedomugil signifer(Harvey ck variety obviously), Stiphodon gobies and maybe some more snakeheads at another spot where they can be found in decent numbers. More pics tomorrow.
masone, that stream pic looks suspiciously like Freshwater Creek (although, I know it could be just about any stream in the region...). I'm in Sydney, atm, but will be back home on Saturday... Don't s'pose you'd like to reveal the exact location of that picture?? What size tank would suit the purple spot gudgeons? They look very much like Killi's and I'm looking to restock my 70L with something interesting...
A monster fish on a small scale.Not Freshie though there are some lagoons in the cane paddocks there which are good for really blue ones. PM me when you get back to CNS and I'll let you know where they are a sure thing. Purps get about 5 or so inches, I've actually caught a few on the line with small hooks. Should be fine in a 70. Anyway, went down to Harvey Creek today and collected Psuedomugil signifers then went to my spot for more snakeheads. Got another 5 juvies at 6-7" and also another nice male. Here he is just fitting in an 11" wide fish bag. Oh and a whitelip tree frog that was hanging around the carport last night.
Not chasing any specific fish, just get what I get and if it will work in my tank I'll keep it. Wouldn't mind some small jacks but they are pains to catch and usually found in croc creeks which makes things slightly harder.
