I have several thousand Rainbow Trout fingerlings ranging from about 50gms to almost 100gms available to anyone whos interested in growing out some trout this winter. I will be doing several delivery runs to Perth starting in April and continuing on until June if the demand is there.
PM me for further details if your interested.

Put us down for some on your first delivery.....

WOOHOOO ! I can taste them already
200 for me in May thanks Troutman

we won't let them see the bbq next to the tank when were putting them in ...

put me down for some in June, not sure how many, will work it out and pm you.

I'm in for 30, what price for what size?

Troutman, not sure if the pm sent...having computer glitches, so here it is in case.
We would certainly like some on your early trip up (if you are still in Mandurah though we could come and collect any time-it would be great to see your set up). We would like the 100gm ones, and twenty to fifty depending on price. Our barramundi are ready for the freezer...so we are looking forward to trout!!!
Should the pool be emptied and refilled (god, hope not!) or the water left with no fish for a period of time before putting trout in, or is it ok to put trout in as soon as the barra are out?

You can run your system fishless for a while, just add some humonia to keep the bacteria happy. Maybe some feeder goldfish. Not sure if the trout will clean them up in time. My goldies are all over 30cm so not a problem. Good for keeping a system going between fish seasons.

250 for me please
yes the space has grown
I give you a call

I would like to try trout again. Can you put me down for 100 please.

Please advise price and likely delivery date.

Regards,
Tony

Hows your water temp Tony?

You got extra tanks C1 or you been putting your concreting skills to work??

It got to 25°C, but I killed off the Trout by over feeding in November, trying to put on some weight for the plate, but just managed to kill most off. There is a SOLE survivor, my $150 trout (if you include purchase price, feed and pumping the water)
I have learned some lessons, but I am still trying to get it right. It is a good thing that I have other food sources and do not rely on this for all of our vegetables and meat.

I had a good crop on my tomatoes, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, capsicum, beans and chilli plants despite the lack of fish numbers. Everything is just a fair bit smaller. Roma tomatoes are more like cherry tomatoes, etc.

Troutman,
for some reason it is impossible to send you a pm with phone details etc regarding trout fingerlings. We will definitely have the 50 you mentioned, and I will send details just as soon as we can (messages just keep sitting in the outbox????)

Messages coming thru ok.
I have got your number and will make contact as soon as the weather is cool enough to transport the fish.
