Yep, and the Blue-Eyes wont eat frogs eggs or tadpoles.... self breeding....

I'm picking up a hundred on Monday as I swing past AquaBlue..... (and some Yabbies)

P.S... for Steve and others.....

No Mussels until maybe Mid June.....talked to Neil today..... water level is still too high and they're going to be in the middle of their Bass spawning, grading etc....

Mid June earliest he says...

so how u picking up 100 then?

done your homework as usual rupe, but they sound like the go, and skygazer aquablue seafoods are pretty helpful and freight to WA is dear, but if it's what ya want ya gotta pay, but if going through aquablue drop my name (Paul from Narrogin) will get me some brownie points, Neil is the man at Aquablue, if you keep mentioning this forum (and me) he will discount heaps as well

100 Pacific Blue-Eyes... Steve.... wanted mussels as well....

Oh... and some Yabbies

I have 200 ordered mid June, how did Yabbies Taste rupe , have posted elsewhere and am getting some western pygmy perch this weekend, they grow to about 6-10 cm, better size to host mussels i feel, and love mozzie's and a bit of algae so sound ideal

lost the edit button, also after reading in to it, I think it will be to cold down here for Blue Eyes they seem more tropical

Anybody know of a good south-eastern fish for to be having with mussels? Also will yabbies eat mussels? That would be unfortunate...

Kuda, neil from aquablue has yabbies living with Mussels and no problem he say's, Marron have not eaten mine as yet, and I have 2 big males, so I would say no, I am going to try western pygmy perch as a host, they grow to 4" and eat mozzies, there is a eastern pygmy perch as well but no info, I would guess the western one would be smarter , sorry couldn't help my self, but this link http://www.nativefish.asn.au/southern-pygmy-perch.html tells about a similar species to west and eastern the.....southern pp

Any one Near Narrogin Wanting Mussels, I am going to pay for around $500 worth (all gone But can add to order) in about a week, due for delivery towards end of June

HEY! i asked him to drop me an email when he has some available!

Welcome Back Steve, I said before in this thread, west are smarter than east............................ , but I am Just paying for them now so we will get them before those who haven't yet coughed up some $$$$'s

tell Neil to email me! i'm happy to pay upfront to secure an early shipment for the boys in vic.

No worries steve, will see how many he thinks he has, I would like 3 - 400 but will do it in 2 lots if I have to, but paying now would be a good option

well i have atleast a 200 unit order that i'm willing to pay for now

I want, I want !!
