Good luck with getting interstate to ship to you, I sent a few emails of to a couple of them and they seem not interested for the quantitys we are after here in perth, yeh the ones at golden ponds are very stressed, Ive had mine for exactly a week now and quite a few still are fairly white, plus the cold temps here in WA havent helped out latley.
Make sure you have plenty of airation and try not to cramp too many into the one container


I was joking about interstate Simso. It was just that the earlier posts talked about being able to transport them for up to 9 hours (in cars and planes)without any losses, it started to sound a bit silly when the woman warns me that I might have trouble transporting them for two hours.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I now feel confident that I should be able to safely get them here with a fair chance of success. Especially if they are bagged properly.

Fell for the same trap at the time Burnsy.... Gav was correct in his advice to feed 1%...

Because the trout aren't fingerlings... they're in fact "yearlings".... 2/3rds grown by the time we stock them... :wink:

And yep... with the right temp Barra will take 5% easily... I'm feeding 6 times a day with tank temp 26 degrees... probably close to 10%...


Yep, I was in on that thread and remember the confusion at the time. Your barra, what size are they, will they consistantly take 5% or more from fingerlings onwards or are there different recommended rates as there are with trout and SP? Do you know what their feed conversion rate is?

Think you're a bit out in your starting guesstimation...

My 60-80mm Barra... average 6gm...


A bit out! LOL.
So on Burnsy's formula a 6gm fish fed 5% for 160 days is going to get to around 300gms.
So does that seem right in your experience Rupe?

That's more like it... :wink:


He's a pretty cleva fella that.
The kinda bloke ya wouldn't mind havin as a son in law. :)
