Awesome job qldaf team.... looks like i can keep updating the post!
If you want me to build a pond....
Foundation will require minimum of 7 day settlement before block wall comences.
Foundation will require minimum of 21 day settlement before core fill comences.
I do not rush pond builds! Most ponds under 20m2 are dug out by hand. Machines destroy the surroundings and the operator will most likely brake something.
My ponds are engineered and hardcore! Literally
I was told there is a limit..... 10,000 liters gets classed as fish farming, where permits are required. however there are ways around it through different classifications.
Yes the asian trade is what ends up in most chain stores.... and i heard of a local guy who runs a quarantine in brisbane south does the same; Chucks them all in a big pond and lets them go and them just plucks them out to sell to stores.
Australia has ruined most of the pure strains by improper breeding and lack of knowledge on the genus, (mainly stores have done this) which has turned off quite a few people. If you asked a store about the peacock market they would say it's not that great; however if they actually sold them in the right way it may be a different story.
mbuna are at the top of the game with Africans; only due to there abundance and affordability.... and let's not forget..... mbuna are fast growing unlike aulonocara.
Not one of the bigger markets. When I make a sale people usually buy every species I have.
I turn down people all the time due to there main objective of wanting females for breeding.
