:thumbleft: :thumbright:
That's an endorsement from me, Lachie delivered 32 Cod to my house and they are great quality and size.
200mm fish akin to fingerling market prices.

I stumbled across Lachie when searching for Murray Cod on Gumtree.

Cheers,
Stuart

Alas is there any hope to see some of these bad boys make their way across to Perth?

Hi Mackstaa,

There are a lot of bio security regulations attached to moving live aquatic animals interstate. We get audited regularly. We would need to get vet checks before shipment which adds a massive cost. Plus water is not cheap to ship via air.
We have only done it in the past with large numbers of small fish to make it viable.
That being said I am willing to ship to WA if you can foot the bill.

Cheers
Lachie

There where some for sale at a pet shop in Mandurah a few weeks back, but as you would expect you will pay pet prices for them $25+ per fish, cant remember the exact size but i think they where about 5-6cm.

Our $25 fish are approx 35cm - 45cm. They will swallow those guys whole...!

Bargain

They are fantastic prices. :thumbright:

I'd love to give Murray Cod a go or snatch up the Silver Perch, but most likely by the time I'd be ready they will be all gone. I probably won't have things ready until the new year.

Great stuff!

Lol, I'm getting there, we've eaten two so far! I want to add some more GB's and was thinking It would be easier to fiddle around between fish stockings, but the way things are going it wont be done any time soon.

So... am considering getting some more. Given that i am give or take 3200 ltrs and have 32 cod, 1 Aust Bass and a few yabbies - somewhere between 40 and 0 depending on how many became cod food - what number would you recommend?

I am still having some nitrite spikes on and off so prolly best to wait a few more weeks while the k1 colonizes. But am curious all the same.

Damn on two fronts! I'd love to learn more about the science of aquaculture an would love to get some silvers an cod! Sadly I'm 4 hours from Epping so study is out and my ibc tanks are not ready yet so either way I'm stuffed [CRYING FACE]
