Any Aussies About?

[Kirky88]

My partner is from west Brisbane and I'm from the northern gold coast, we mostly keep south American cichlids and are fairly new to the hobby . I'm a little more serious than she is she just likes the pretty colours and the peacefulness. I'm looking at expanding to a second tank for Africans in the near future...... Safe to say I'm obsessed..... Where do fellow south east queenslanders get their stock from?

Exotic fish connections mate at rocklea seems to be the go for the widest range and the best prices
good luck

Hi Kirky! I'm a gold coaster too. I've been very disappointed with the stock available locally, so as soon as I have my new 6ft tank cycled I'm going to check out Brisbane. I've heard good things about Jodie's shop in Annerley.

Sometimes you can get some quality affordable stock from local breeders on Gumtree, but mostly browsing Gumtree is a real downer:

I live in Lisarow on the NSW central coast, work in Sydney, and grew up in the Hunter Valley. Mostly I keep Oz natives - currently a brackish tank of blue eyes and small gobies - but with other marine and freshwater native tanks planned for the near future.

Oooh! I want a brackish tank! All the local lfs say they don't have brackish- they sell blue eyes and bumblebee gobies in their freshwater tanks. What sort of gobies do you have??

Sorry about not getting straight back to you Cactuspixie. I've now changed out my brackish tank to freshwater, but I still have natives. Your best options for brackish fish are the ones in your area! There are tons of suitable fishes around: blue-eyes, small gobies, etc. If you want to know more, I'd suggest you look into joining the QLD branch of ANGFA (Australia New Guinea Fish Association; ANGFA Queensland). I'm a member of ANGFA-NSW (ANGFA NSW), which holds monthly meetings (first Tuesday of the month) at the Australian Museum. Each meeting includes a raffle, auction (fish, plants, aquarium equipment, books), and a talk, followed a few days later by a field trip to sample fishes. I gave the talk this month - on NSW brackish water fishes - and the fieldtrip (on Sunday) will be to collect in an estuary on the north side of Sydney Harbour. Shame you don't live closer, as it would be a good chance to get started on some brackish water natives. If there are any other forum members with an interest in native fishes, please consider joining up with ANGFA.
