Oh yay, stock silvers and watch them do *frack* all, all winter lol

Good plan

Thats the trouble with our climates obo, hot summers then cold nights come on quick in the autumn winter and drive temps down. Seeing it already here, frigging stupid weather

Oh dear..... Gunna be some unhappy people this year perhaps..

Oh well, lucky I like silvers..

I have just been talking to Carey and he has just had his worst spawning season on record with his silvers, mine has also been dismal so far. So, getting any fish at all over the next year may be a problem.

What's been the problem with the Silver spawn Gav??

Have I told you how much I love goldfish?

Nah EB.... is that because they make the flowers grow better...

I love mollies and tadpoles too

No problems getting them to spawn Rup but getting the larvae to grow/survive has been the problem!! Drought, water clarity, Dragonfly Larvae, Tadpoles, egg quality and low numbers have all contributed to dismal season. We both still have ponds yet to drain so fingers crossed theres some reasonable numbers in there. Somewhere.......


You should have told me faye as I just harvested thousands of em from one of the Perch ponds.
Kept the trout supplied with food for weeks!!

yep, the weather has been so bad, we haven't even spawned this year... just no point when you can't sustain algal blooms to feed the larvae.... combine that with the floods etc in qld/nsw and it could be a very lean year.

Ah Jeez Gav - don't tell her that !

Got to get rid of them some how Chilli so might as well make good use of them. Whoever it is that recons frogs are endangered should spend a day here, there everywhere even found one in the lounge the other day!!
