the only native fish i have now are a tandanus catfish and a silver perch i had another silver perch and an auzzie bass but the bass had its tail bitten off by either the catfish or one of the perch (the only other fish in the tank are goldfish and juvinile koi, its my growout tank for my pond) and the dead perch wasnt healthy when i bought it and died a few days after i bought it. my friend has some foot long auzzie bass in his pond, thats what inspired me to buy one and they only had one left at petstock it was only 8 dollars so i bought it.

on another note..........

Wow, there are a few OZ native keepers here! I ONLY keep natives. I'm surprised only a few people do.
I have a small list at the moment.

2 x Barramundi
1 x Saratoga leichardti
1 x Berneys Catfish
1 x Salmon-Tail Catfish
2 x Barred Grunter

I have also kept a short finned eel, spangled perch, and tandanus catfish.

And I have on the way an aussie lungfish.

I do agree that more places need to start stocking a larger variety, would be great for more people to get into the natives.

Natives are my favorite and i only keep them!! i do have a tropical tank but im selling all the fish and getting a new bigger tank 4x2x2 for my toga and bullrout. i agree more places need to have a bigger selection of natives, most places have a small couple of tanks for natives and dont rerally display them as good as other fish, it should change. but i guess it just depends on the owner!.

Don't have any natives at the moment, but in the past I have kept silver scats, barramundi, purple spot gudgeons, butis butis, tandanus catfish, golden perch, australian bass, bartail grunters, sleepy cod, red scats, archer fish, silver perch, mono argenteus, native banded pufferfish, saratoga leichardti and a longfinned eel. Natives are awesome fish, definitely underrated IMO. Also, the LFS where I work part time has an awesome selection of natives.
