Craigo Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Good evening all. Im looking for some information on these fish. I have a 4x18x18 tank that lives in our sun room & has had many fish call if home over the years (it was even a marine tank for a year once) but now I have a fish room that has (almost) enough space/tanks for my fishies I am looking to set this one up as a permanent feature & let it & all its inhabitants grow out. It has been empty of fish for the last few months bar some bristlenose & some plants that are loving the semi daylight they receive. Now I have decided it back to my roots roots & it will be a native tank. Rainbows, where my fish keeping journey began. I had been looking at the all super cool threadfin rainbows & some blue eyes from aqua green, but then I stumbled on a picture of Teewah Creek Rhad's. So, I am extremely interested in collecting or purchasing some of these fish for our display as Teewah beach & the whole area has a lot of family history for my Wife. Her great grandfather built one of the first houses at Teewah settlement on the beach & started the ferry at Tewantin. The house is still in the family & we are usually up there at least once a month So if anybody can help me in identifying a collection point that my wife & I might be able to take our boy too collected some fish of our tank only, it would be a great help & we will be only collecting there once, as we will be only having one rainbow tank & have no need to tell anybody else about the spot. PM would be ok as well so that it is not on the forum. Or if you have some of these fish available, please let me know. Otherwise I would like to see Pictures of your fish & tanks if you would like to share, and any specific diets or plants the fish may prefer. Thanks, Craigo.

grubby Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 I just stopped in at Steve Baines shop in Annnerley (ex fishchicks). He has some really nice Teewah Creek Rhads (Red Morph) but he only has males. I bought a really good male to breed with some of my females. I also noticed that he had Eppirah creek Rhads too.

Kahuna Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 cheers mate, thanx for yr reply. tanks and tank stand taking shape as we speak. If you're in Bargara, I figure you will have to courier the fish. I'm on the Sunshine Coast. I guess you're in Bundy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in Bargara, I figure you will have to courier the fish. I'm on the Sunshine Coast. I guess you're in Bundy. Can send fish via courier, I have plenty of experience shipping fish, but I have a few species of Rainbowfish with a friend in Brisbane that I need to pick up, so if it all works out, I can meet you on the highway somewhere on my way through and save you the freight costs.
