hi i'm chris i am in queensland, Australia and have been disapointed as to the amount of native fish here so i have started this thread for anyone to show off some of their best australian native fish
 
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.
 
in my native collection i have an archer fish,a salmon tail cat, an eel tail cat, and a yellow bar tail grunter

(i'm trying to get my pics onto the thread but my camera won't play along)
 
Gday,my only native at the moment is a 15'' murray cod.i had 2 murrays but one had to go.i had a 20'' jardini which i had for 5 years but he recently died.
 
Chris??? i might know you, i have various natives my self, 2 big barra, bullrout,salmon cats,saratoga jardini. and have had in the past archer fish, silver perch, eels,and a sleepy cod.next fish im getting is a sooty, cantw wait.!

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...
