Spangled Gudgeons on the AI natives part of the stocklist. Anybody seen them in Perth before?

Nope.

 

Are they sold as FW or Brackish?

My understanding of them is that they're a genuinely brackish critter.

Not sure. Doesn't say brackish like most brackish fish when they sell them so presuming FW. They are mostly brackish, but I do know a couple of people who have kept them permanently in FW and been fine. Cool fish.

Wouldn't mind giving a few of them a crack. Is anyone else bringing any over?

So cool! Wish I could've raised some small ones. Too small to get some now though :(

Yeah, still a moody dude too. Seems a little less agro with less fish in the tank though

Sucks that it's not a hippy like the other neo's around the place.
I bought a neo for my oddball tank.
It's been a challenge getting the right fish.
Now got bullrout, sleepy cod, Aussie bass and the Neo. Hopefully they go ok together long term.
I'm looking at moving house so I can keep a couple of bigger tanks... Which means hopefully I can keep Snappy.

If anyone is bringing some over I'd love to jump on the bandwagon and get two!

Anyone got any idea on their growth rates? My 2x Hyrtlii are growing pretty slowly. 

 

 

NVM, just read on Ausyfish. Pretty slow growing apparently. Was hoping for a fast grower.  :Rofl_3f:

Just wondering but what makes them this price? Missing something.

Because the only commercial producer sells them for $50 each with a MOQ of 50.
Jacks are aggressive, keeping 50 alive takes a lot of resources compared to less aggressive fish. If one dies before you sell it, you're down $50.
These fish have a slightly higher demand than supply too.
Plus they have a reputation as being one of, if not the most brutal predators available.

Many thanks! Appreciate the explanation.

There's never been a better time to get into natives than right now:
Cod, jacks, Saratoga and Barra all available.
Neosilurus Ater and hyrtlii getting about.
Rainbows and blue eyes always available.
Sleepy cod, spangled perch, archers, red Scats, silver Scats and salmontails around too.
Bass, coal grunter and barred grunted were for sale not long ago so are definitely out there through private sales as well as snakehead gudgeons to a lesser extent, butis and Bullrout too.
