#60549 Keeping Mulloway

Posted by NicholasC on 01 September 2007 - 07:28 PM

No offence and i don't think you will take offence but Black bream have to be the worst aquaculture fish ever!

They are slow growing, territorial, and kill others by starving them. I had 4 then they starved and killed one and even now it is a chore to keep the littlest one fed.

Althought if you want them for fish keeping i would say max 2.

Best fish for aquaculture:

Barramundi (Summer): ($2-$3 a fingerling)
*Grow 500g for every 1kg fed
*Grows large
*Fast growing
*Best tasting fish IMO

Trout: ($3 a fingerling)
*Fast growing
*No heating required
*Taste good
*Beautiful fish to look at

I am very interested in malloway as i have seen there size and interested in not paying $$$ for salt and just going brackish.

Sorry for the off topic :roll: i learn't alot when i was doing work exp biggrin.gif
