| Post subject: | Marron ? |
I'm looking at getting a few Marron, I've got a 3000lt FT and will be stocking with Barra very shortly. to help them survive, I've taken some plastic bread crates trimmed the ends off, drilled holes in them and made them marron friendly, and will add some galv chicken wire over the bottom to help raise them to the surface, I think with about 2 to 3 of these on the bottom of my tank I can accommodate ~ 20 marron (is that too many, or would it hold more?) Now sourcing Marron, I've found a couple of places one is wholesale minimum 10KG. Is anyone else interested in joining in the order (1kg is anywhere from 5-14 marron depending on size). Alternatively any other sources around Perth Also anyone know where to get the Blue Marron from, Nocky, I notice you have/had some ? Cheers |

Ivan's question is pretty valid phred. The zinc in the galv is toxic to fish and crustaceans, particularly crustaceans ! |

Ah yep. Ivan (& CD).... valid point, hadn't thought of that one.... ok any suggestions of an alternative. you just saved the lives of many crustaceans... well maybe just extended their lives to be sacrificed for food instead. Maybe two crates screwed together with stainless steel screws ? I only have 3 of them so will need to "find" 3 more crates ivansng wrote: Galvanised wire in the tank submerged long term??

Gday gang - i know a guy that gets them cheap, smaller ones under 100g were about $27/kg and the larger ones about 170g were about $32/kg. He does small orders too. Will search for his price list and photos of sizes and post them to the forum. |

And no wuckins might have a better deal.... maybe his source won't need 10kg minimums. no_wuckins wrote: Gday gang - i know a guy that gets them cheap, smaller ones under 100g were about $27/kg and the larger ones about 170g were about $32/kg.

Ok I found a source down south for $24 per kg (sized around 100-150mm) he's coming up this friday, with delivery cost of $25, (which we'll all split) I need to let him know by tomorrow afternoon how many are interested, as he has to lay traps tomorrow evening. |
