Anyone considering wild plankton for this?? Are there any good methods for collection that anyone knows?

Great initiative guys, we wish everybody the best success, it would be great to see more aqua cultured fish in the hobby.

The only place I have see that carry the gear to do this is

Not cheapest practice though, unless you regularly go out fishing and dont mind a bit of drag.

Well, here we have it,

our own little forum- another one to look at :thumbsup:

i will do some work on a proforma later today (fingers crossed).

we have had an offer that will suit people in Sydney, so hold off on buying fish for now. ill hopefully get to that later today as well.

Ok, does anyone know if they're best kept in pair or groups? And if it is groups, odd or even numbers?

They definately pair up. I think Rod the Reefer had 3 or 4 pairs in one tank. All of different species though

All the best guys in your quests.

I was another who didn't go in the pole as I didn't like some of the choices.

Will follow with interest. Looks like a tricky little beast to get past meta from looking at MOFIB.

Hands already full trying to breed clowns,

Hi Paul,

No nothing yet. Need to get the Tom Jones music piping into the fishroom. Have two likely pairs that I keep watch on but most of the others are too young at this stage. Happy with the set-up now and weather proofing during the heatwaves passed the test so I won't need a chiller(yeah).

Cheers,
Mike
