Too bloody hot outside to do too much so I have been doing some web surfing..

I came across these and was wondering if anybody has any experience with captive fish?

They are an endangered species, I think it would be illegal to keep them. The people who run the site have done some spawning of the trout cod for restocking and research purposes.

Himzol, you sparked my interest in other cod species, everything I have found says that trout cod, eastern freshwater cod and mary river cod are threatened or endangered, most info re suppliers is all govt/DPI/fisheries and leans towards stocking and research to save the species. Narrandera Fisheries Research Centre was one I found on the trout cod, they appear to handle cooler temps OK. There appears to be a private supplier of mary river cod fingerlings in QLD but had no website, not much help I know

I think this is one that I will try and do more research on to see if it's possible to get some in the future. The cold water handling capabilities is what caught my attention as well. I guess it may be something to look at if the Golden Perch don't work out.
