Yes feel free to go and collect some, the more removed the better 🙂

Thank you! yes I'm quite aware of their presence and have encountered them, you will see them in part 2 and 3 if you watch them 🙂

Thank you! 🙂

Cool mate! every little bit helps 🙂

Thanks for watching! 🙂

Nice!

I'm not sure if they are or not, but even if they were I wouldn't be trying them out of that creeks as it's a spill way from the industrial area, who knows what goes down those drains.

Yes it's one of my favourite spots to snorkel.

Thank you! they normally have them at the meetings.

Yeah they love their food, I'm happy it brought back those memories for you 🙂

They are going great actually, it was a bit of an experiment with the Rhads for me and I only put a few in to start with as these tubs aren't to big, I have other colonies in larger tubs, but they have a few different size long in there including more fry, I will have to fish some out soon and put them back in the main pond, I didn't really put them into breed more so for mosquito control, but yeah they seem to love it, so if you have an issue with room they will do fine, the tub I used is probably equivalent to a 2ft tank so if you wanted to try it you should go well, Rhads don't seem to jump like other rainbows as well.

Thank you for your kind comment! I'm trying to show people some of our beautiful fresh underwater habitats, we are well known for our marine but the fresh gets left out a bit 🙂

It's just like why do we import Tilapia flesh when it's a pest here, especially when in the reasoning for not letting people to catch and keep the flesh is so it doesn't get popular with a monetary value, I think by selling the flesh is doing just that. I've hit the local bio security up about it and they told me it was a federal government decision and their hands where tied, I think it's time we made the laws Australia wide rather then segmenting them or they just don't work, there is so much stuff coming into the country now that has potential for problems, have a look at the prawn industry, but they are still importing prawns and just telling people not to use them for bait, it boggles my mind at what goes on to be honest.

@@australianbiotopes4563 Only yesterday our politicians were applauding the renewing of WA Crayfish exports. As over 90% will now be exported..the prior level...and Australians can no longer afford to eat our own Crayfish that cheap imported tilapia may be the only seafood on our tables..., The white spot disease that devastated the local prawn farming industry may have been caused by reimporting our own prawns from Thailand after processing...

@@jefftysoutube Meanwhile we could be eating our own to reduce the impact they are making in our waterways but they won't allow it.

@@australianbiotopes4563 The WA Crayfish industry provides a answer. A few years ago the WA minister for fisheries did try to save a larger % for local consumption. He didn't last long! Vested interests ...

Thank you for watching 🙂

Thanks for watching! yes it doesn't need to cost the world to have a nice little water feature, mine is still growing wall and breeding fish, I love these little tubs.

Thank you for watching! 🙂

Yes crystal like a swimming pool, and warm, a lot of people go there so early morning is the best time.

Yes I'm setting back up now and until it gets cold again, for the honeys they can be kept outdoors all year, I don't bring them in, I do sell them but at the auctions, so keep an eye out for them.

@@australianbiotopes4563 thanks for your reply. Have you had success with any other types of pseudomugil aside from Gertrudae or Luminatus? Oh really? I actually bought some off you at the last auction!

@@squeakymcsqueaky9931 Thanks for watching! I think I have bred all of them other than the Redfins.

You can ether use them in aquariums or for shell dwellers

@@australianbiotopes4563 awesome thanks!

Thank you for watching 🙂

Some things have the potential of getting away in floods mainly small floods that would overflow into drains, the larger floods like we had in Brisbane would of killed a lot off from all the contamination of all the chemicals oils ext. I was delivering plumbing gear after the floods in Brisbane and the stench of oil and dead fish was everywhere, there were dead fish in the streets like large carp and mullet, the other problem is people just with a lack of knowledge, most don't know it's wrong to release what they don't want or even think it's better then killing it off or taking it back to a pet store, that is why I make these videos to let people know, our local fish group ANGFA has also done up signs for aquarium stores to put up letting people know of the dangers, most have done the right thing.

Thank you! 🙂

Your Welcome

Thank you! 🙂

If I ever go through I'll check it out.

Thank you Missy, I'm in the process in having talks with Bio Security to try getting some videos out on some of the noxious species but as they are noxious species I need permits to catch and film them properly as most live and breed in cloudy waters, they seem to be onboard with me as they may be able to use some of these videos for educational purposes, but it is a slow process so bare with me, I'd eventually like to do videos on all of them to make people aware of them as some vary in appearance from young to old, people do catch the young fish sometimes and don't even realise they are catching a noxious species.

@@australianbiotopes4563 I’m with you all the way! Happy to support this work and good luck getting through all the bureaucratic tape haha that’ll be fun! 😉 I’ll be following along on your journey, more power to the guardians of nature.

@@missyflutter5562 Thank you! 🙂

Not stagnant, it actually has good flow, it is a bit tannin from the water running out of a swamp, they are just hanging around the edges in the grass and algae.

Thank you! that means a lot, there is a whole other underwater world out there and sometimes they get over looked, I hope to bring them to people and show what most are missing in their travels, especially people that love their fish as they mostly get forgotten.

Thank you! 🙂

I'm not there anymore, I just went there for a holiday, I'm in Brisbane.

Thank you! 🙂

Yes it could but unfortunately I don't have that sort of money, and to make it even worse I lost my drone filming these as well, maybe when my content gets more popular I might be able to afford one 🙂

Yeah it's shocking where you can find feral fish up that way and sometimes makes you wonder how they got there, unfortunately the warmer weather and floods makes for a perfect place for them to spread much easier, people in the tropics have to much more careful or those beautiful places will be ruined, I've come across some scary stuff while filming, it makes me angry some times, hopefully it doesn't get out of hand.

@@australianbiotopes4563 we also have a pet Red Devil about 30cm long caught in Ross River Townsville. We use talapia as Batr bait and join forces to eradicate the pests. The talapia in salt water are good eating I hear 😋👍

@@patrickmcmanus5373 Yeah we got them down here to in the local man made lakes and they have reverted back to their wild colours, nice fish but they don't belong. Just be careful using the Tilapia, if you get caught with it in your possession dead or alive there are big fines, Stupid law as you can buy the flesh now in seafood shops but it's imported of course so the money goes back overseas rather then fixing a problem here. Tilapia actually has a really nice flesh and is farmed all over the world and if you ever have imported fish fingers you are probably already eating it, this country needs to get with the times and maybe try and fix a problem at the same time make some money in the process, we are never going to be rid of them now, they are in just about every waterway this side of the Great Dividing Range and in WA. they should just let people catch and keep if they want to, dead of coarse for food, most will even release them back because they are a no keep fish, I've even spoken to Bio Security about it and it's like talking to a brick wall they are set in their ways with no good outcome.

@@australianbiotopes4563 a scientist told me that they have been catching feral fish since 1960

Thank you! it basically is Foxtail or Hornwort, depending on where you come from, I have actually put the scientific name for it on the right in the video at one point, it's a pretty common plant around the world.

Cool! they are pretty common up and down the coast, they look good in an aquarium as a school to.

Thank you! yes I know and am sorry, I didn't realise until I put it up and it was to hard to change, I'll have to be more careful in future, it's a learning experience for me that I will hopefully get better with in time, the song started out so soft I didn't realise it had such a loud point in it.

Thank you! and thanks for watching 🙂

Thank you! and thanks for watching, yes I love my aquatic plants my self, but there are so many new species to me in the NT. it's like heaven.

Thank you! I will, Thanks for watching 🙂

Thank you for watching! 🙂

What were the others? we only saw the one.

@@australianbiotopes4563 Elsey dentata, macrochelodina rugosa

Thanks for watching!
