Hey guys, I'm Ned. I'm 13 and I live in Ipswich, I was keeping fish for a few years, I have 3 900mm tanks which I had one small Barra, 2 Oscars and a heap of Guppys, Platys ect ect. in the other tank. After a while I looked into Pythons, so I sold the Oscars and Platys and all that to a fish shop and put the Barra in my mates dam, he was 15cm when I put him in there last year, he is now nearly 100cm (approx). I now have 3 pythons, 2 Jungle carpet pythons and a Children's python and am about to get a pair of Hypo Coastals or Patternless Children's pythons.
I have a 900mmL, 450D, 500H tank, and I would like to put some Empire and Eastern Spotted Gudgeons in there. I have a heater, filter and I can grab some logs from the yard and disinfect them and use them as "natural" hiding spots and all that. I was looking in fish shops and they were $40 for six! My dad said that the best bet would be to go down to Venman Bushlands or something similar and have a look in the Creeks and Billabongs there for the fish that I'm after.
Since they are easy to breed but very hard to raise fry (apperently) I thought to myself, fish shops probley just catch them aswell. So do you think thats a good idea? Can any of you guys tell me where any other good Billabongs/creeks are to find these guys?
I was thinking 10 of each sort, as they are schooling fish (correct me if I'm wrong).
Any other advice on keeping them would be wonderful,
Thanks!!
