rainbowrunner Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) I would go local native, really not sure if the png rainbows will handle a winter here edit - Didnt see the cairns thing, so pngs would be ok I suppose, still would go local native tho Edited December 9, 2012 by rainbowrunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubby Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Being cairns three or four barra and maybe some mangrove jack fingerlings if you can get them Yeah bye bye Rainbows. I'd go out collecting, maybe some Skull creeks Macculochi, Cairnsicthys perhaps, your local blue eyes are pretty nice. Can you get some Eachems ? Archer fish will do well, I have seen them in Lake Eachem, so if they can handle the table lands they can handle the coast. One of the great things about Rainbows in ponds are that they will damage Cane Toad eggs, so they wont hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
