Thanks. Didn’t even know they were a thing. Looks like a good setup.
#367868 Native Threatened And Endangered Fish Breeding

Yep Translocation and Aquaculture permits would be required.
Would be tough to get the ok to release back into wild too with the risk of introducing disease.
The main reasons for endangerment of species is environmental. Releasing more won’t fix their environment.
Lastly, there have previously been efforts made to breed salamanderfish in captivity with no luck.

#367660 Shipping Fish Interstate?
Posted by

They have some weird rules they just brought in.... I was trying to ship birds from Perth to Geraldton.
They are still doing normal shipping for account holders. For non-account holders you need to book through an animal handler... this is in case the flight gets cancelled and they get stuck with a bunch of unwanted animals apparently...
Call Qantas Freight for most up to date information.

#367656 Nightfish

Just a timing thing.
I never caught a heap of Pygmys there but always a few. When the nightfish spawn, you tend not to see many mosquitofish. Presumably the nightfish fry start preying on the Gambusia fry in the shallow vegetation.
Best bet is to have a crack around spring time.

Hey,
I’ve caught 2 - 4cm juvies in Ellen brook before. Usually hiding in long vegetation.
Not sure that pygmys would survive hungry nightfish as they get bigger but if they grow up with them they might not be so inclined to view them as food.
Just use a little scoop net and sweep in through the vegetation.

If you’re after Swan River gobies, you shouldn’t have much trouble. Pretty much any waterway in less than 1 foot of water on sand... easy with a little scoop net at night with a torch.

Hey,
If you add same species they will naturally partner up and become territorial.
If you’re going for a mixed species display, I’d suggest all males.

#367443 Sump To Canister Advise

For the price and running costs you could buy 2 mid size mid price filters that give you extra piece of mind in the event of failure.
AquaOne Nautilus 2700 is a big canister that is about half the price of 2260.
Not disagreeing with previous post... just throwing out some other options.

If you want to make the clay a bit less clay like add a bit of play sand till you get the consistency you’re after... good luck, looks like a fun project... keep the updates coming.
