Ive been a fish / catfish keeper since the days of steel frame and putty!
I currently have approx 18,000 ltrs of tanks about the place, the largest is 2900 ltrs + 4 @ 1200 ltr.
Due to our importation laws none of these beauties are legal imports... but that shall not stop the determined as there are plenty of us Aussies ready to part with comparatively HUGE amounts of money for some.
TSN's (P. fasciatum) are the entry point @ $500 ea or so, RTC's @ $700... I recently was very tempted by a B. jurensis then a M. tigrinis but @ $1500 / $2000 ea
My current collection is..
2 x TSN's ... 1@80cm 1@90cm
1 x RTC @45cm
6 x Giant Gray Gourami @60cm .... looking for RedTailGG atm
1 x S.American Silver Arro @70cm
4 x Jardini Saratoga @70cm
1 x Pangasias Blue Shark @50cm
plus a host of various pleco's, L's & other catties.
I feel my highest achievements have been to tank breed Black Lancers - B. macracanthus / Feather Fins - S. eupterus & Angel Cats - S. angelicus.
My goal has always been to breed the "next one" that I have not spawned.
I look forward to many a yarn with you all
