Yeah dont buy them too early or you (& the Barra) will regret it. Have a look at all the posts at this time of year last season and everyone was losing their Barra due to cold water temps. What temp are the TAFE keeping them at?? If you water is cooler than theirs I wouldnt be buying any just yet.

Just rang GPs and they (apparently) have 25cm barra for $10. What sort of stocking rate should I be looking at for 300l of filtration at that size? 10 fish?

That would be a good number for heavy feeding, fast growing fish... especially in a small new system...

Got them! Can I use my floating trout pellets or do I need to get specific barra pellets?

The only issue may be they might not be used to the floating food but they should figure it out eventually.

The large barra I got from golden ponds last year had that problem.
