Aussie native Cats

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Its ironic that native fish have little value in their own country but we pay a fortune for imported fish. In Australia salmon tail catfish are cheap and common but we pay hundreds of $ for Asian pangasius cats. Same for these small Aussie cats - no body wants them here.

I agree 100%
 
We should go to Monduran Dam, catch as much salmon tails as possible, and sell em overseas, and make heaps, lol.

The normal kind (Tandanus Tandanus) will grow over 2ft, the others wont get as big.

Lol, phobia of fish.

You know how when you go Barra fishing, you often catch those big monster catfishes? Imagine putting them in a tank 8D

Has anyone seen these cats on any of the vendor's lists recently? I want some!

I'm not too sure? I just got mine from the pet shop. If you live in another country they'd be difficult to acquire I reckon. I think they are actually a threatened species?
