Can some silvers be more cold tolerant than others. Maybe the temps of where the stock comes from may have an effect.

Yeah I have thought this may be the case but i'm not so sure. I got some fish from OBO (thanks Col) which originally came from Jurien Bay (much farther north and warmer) and at the moment they are feeding very well every day. These fish were not in as good a condition as my other brood fish which generally are not feeding as much. I think that fish that go into the winter in good condition with plenty of stored fat dont feed as much as those that are a little lean. Smaller fish under 250gms also tend to feed more than the larger fish.

Yeah, it's nice up here. When I go to work (6:15am) the thermometer says it's 7-8°C while the radio tells me it's 2-3°C in the city - can't complain about that.
