If you want to get rid of them I would love to buy one back off you when you are ready. Ive only got one left and I wouldnt mind another one.

your welcome to 1 MM, you have to know their not weaned and not realy habituated with people, I have 2 in a split 4ft on the busiest part of the patio and they still ignore me. they have been there since day one 2 more are living in separate eskies and never see people and the little guy in the shed [my 1st real effort at weaning ] is sulking. will pm you soon

YAYYY!!!! first cod weaned, don't know if it was starvation or the pre moistening/softening of the pellets for the bloody princess. Keen to start the others now, bit more confidence and keeping up the live food is becoming a bit of a drag.The other 4 are on the patio temp 13 down to 10 still feeding on live stuff but should I move them into the shed to wean them??[25 to 26] what do you think. cheers shayne

[malawiman85]

I would. Just make sure the temp adjustment doesnt shock the hell out of them.

Thanks for good info guys
And really
A jack in a 6ft didn't think you could

[malawiman85]

Well they are only 4 -10cm when you buy them as juvies. They arent as fast growing as other aussie tb's like cod and barra. Should be right in a 6x2x2 for a few years.

Maybe a year. Wouldn't say a few.

I know a couple people on here that have kept jacks comfortably in 4 footers for 2 years +.
