So what do you keep?

I keep Aussie natives, snakehead gudgeon, empire gudgeon, purple spot gudgeon, salmon tail cat, tandanus cat, sleepy cod. The sleepy cod & snakehead gudgeon go crazy for live feeder barbs & koi. Splash n smash! Unforunately one of my snakeheads decided he could fit one of my purple spots down his gob. He couldn't of course, but still managed to kill the PSG.
There's some pics in my albums if you're interested, need updating tho'.

No, they are koi. The shop I get them from gets excess stock from a breeder* (the koi are only 30-40mm in length). $15 for 10. They last about an hour......if that. I do have a chuckle at the thought of a potential collectable koi getting hammered by a sleepy cod.

They are out of stock at the moment, so it's back to feeder barbs (small tiger barbs). They last longer than the koi, a bit more aware of danger, whereas the koi just sit there & get eaten.

*When I say "breeder", I believe it's a bloke with a big pond that is just getting rid of excess fish to prevent overpopulation, I don't think he does it for "show animals" or anything. A koi is just a big goldfish anyway, they breed like crazy.

koi are acuatally illiegal to keep, they have whiskers and a better color than a goldfish, feeder barbs are good too

Must be a Vic thing then, there's heaps here, you'll find them for sale in heaps of aquarium shops. Yeah I know they colour up better than goldies, but I've found they get eaten whatever colour they are .
