Hey Dmack. It's a shame they lose their banding. But I think what they lose in color they make up for with size. I have them in a 5x2 for now until they put on some size.
Yeah we can get wobbys here. Although stores shouldn't really sell them as they get so large. I often catch them fishing from the beach here in Perth. There is however a norther varient of the wobby that only stays ~4' which is far more manageable then 12-13'!
Feeding the river prawns and whitebait. Will try them on some squid soon.
