You will find that a member on here called ameleh0 (Spelling is a bit wrong) has a nice sized tank with plenty of Aus natives. Among them are Barramundi, Sooty Grunter etc.

You wont find too many people on here will a tank dedicated to Australian natives, and nor can you find many pet shops stocking them. Most are way over-priced.

Id be careful with those fish they have a high risk of carrying diseases and parasites...


I have one Saratoga Jardini and 2 Archers im thinking about getting a salmontail to go with my Jardini...
