I had them mixed up with Ostorhinchus rueppellii out of the swan and was wondering what the hell all the fuss was about trying to get some!

 

They look pretty cool, hopefully you can get some going mate!

Similar, I dare say closely related, family of fish being cardinals -where the Mouth almighty is the only true freshwater species ive read.

Wanting to get small group try to breed them (apparently easy - just hard to raise the fry), got a collector with my number ready if he catches some.

Pretty happy. Looks a little hungry. To big for the bichirs to eat, just butis looks intrigued to try fight it.....

He looks awesome!! Great to see and hear about one in Perth. My Butis tries to eat new fish too.. Still sometime attempts to eat my scats although they're way too big for him to eat

Thought I'd show some photos I just found as an add on to those colour morph natives - Just found a platinum Jardini

How cool is that?!

How is your Mouth Almighty going Jules?

That's sick....
I want a jardini, over the years have realised they are better then leichardi IMO

Seems ok, haven't seen it eat, but it's gut is fatter so it's eating something. Bichirs like to stalk it but he's too big to get eaten.

Anyone interested in setting up a native tank or maybe just checking out 1 or 2 species should get down to Pet Magic at Bibra Lake.
Notesthes robusta - Bullrout
Butis butis - crazy fish
Lates calcarifer - Barramundi
Tandanus tandanus - Common eeltail (not as nice as neo's)
Neosilurus hyrtlii - Yellow eeltail (very nice)
Toxotes something or other... wasnt paying attention - Archer fish
Selenotoca multifasciata - Silver scats (nice too)
Macchullochella peelii peelii - Murray cod

I went to the zoo a week or two ago and got to checkout the creatures in the cros tank. Got some videos and photos, but need to edit the sound out of them. Was really excited to see the pignosed turtle that's in there and all of the fish

my butis butis is looking great

Anyone know of anybody or places that can get ahold of a freshwater sole? 

[Leichardti]

Only place I know of that has them in stock sometimes is livefish.com.au

My Snakehead Gudgeon - has grown like a weed, really bulky fish now and about 30cm long. So pretty much full grown. They would be something really special if they hit about 60cm.

 

Pic is a bit old, has significantly grown since this pic - will get an update over the next couple of days. 

 

Really mellow fish, and struggled to find it place amongst my bass originally.

 

[malawiman85]

Nice, I'd like one or two of these to go with the butis, bullrout and hyrtlii after they do some growing.

 

A couple of good shots of the hyrtlii:

 

 

[Leichardti]

Nice photos! I can never get a photo of my Hyrtlii, they never stop moving

So, what is it?

Random Pics

 

 

[Leichardti]

Nightfish or  some type of little gudgeon / goby I presume? Nice photos, love the little bullrout.

[malawiman85]

Yup, Nightfish... Thought I might have you stumped with that one.

Finally found 'em... Lots of them!

Interesting read on Nightfish:
