I live in south west Sydney 2210 and we have strange weather most of the time. It could be hot 1 day then cold the next.

Can someone suggest some fish i can put in now?

I wish i had the sydney climate. You can grow pretty much whatever rupe grows at pretty much the same time of year me thinks.

Fingers crossed - couldn't last year, it was too hot and I had to pull them out before christmas. This year's had 30 degree days with 17 at night so hopefully that keeps up until Autumn.

Hi Rupert,

How much are jade perch / silvers at the moment? Im not too sure how big i need them to be (Big enough that they dont mass die on me :lol: )

What are you currently running in your system? Im trying to get a fish and not need chilling/heating if possible.

I dont like the cat fish, it kinda freaks me out and probably wont eat it :D

Then Silver Perch is the obvious choice....

Email me... availability of stock, and pricing... is in chaos on the Eastern seaboard due to this summers weather... and the closure/administration of a major hatchery...

Trout fingerlings for winter aren't looking good... catfish are virtually non-existant... murray cod were delayed and only small...

Silver Perch stocks of various sizes are OK... but in shortish supply... and great demand...

Hi Rupert,

I sent the email. I am not too sure how big i should get, can you tell me the best size for them (for fingerlings?).

Cheers.

I think it's often a case of just getting whatever you can get your hands on Zman, There might be very little choice.... Certainly sounding a bit like that from what Rupe has said above..
