AMAZING fish you can find in Australian creeks!

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In this video we take a look at a colourful family of fish called Melanotaeniidae, also known as rainbowfish. There are species native to the creeks here in Australia; they are beautiful and easy to care for, yet for some reason, aren't all that common in the aquarium hobby!
Jason from Australian Biotopes recently setup a natural looking hardscape in my 6ft peninsula fish tank for my rainbowfish. I was keen to add some more fish, so I set out to a local creek with my friend Maggie! We managed to find crimsonspotted rainbowfish, pacific blue eyes, and ornate rainbowfish. We will show you how these beautiful fish look in their native habitat, how we caught them, and give you a closer look at them in the aquarium.
I'm looking forward to watching these beautiful fish grow and showing the potential of the Australian rainbowfish!

    Pro Tip: if you’re really stuck for an air pump, just go in to Kmart in the fishing section and get one of their Jarvis Walker battery powered bait air pumps. They’re good as a stop gap measure, especially with the power cuts from the storms lately.

    I'm in Canada, so my local fish are not that great for aquariums, so I have to go the import route for colourful fish. I fell in love with the "Rainbows" of Australia, so many varieties from the different regions. Hardy active friendly schooling fish, some get a decent size, and there are micro rainbows as well. I now breed these for my local stores

    Wow two beautiful young women full of spunk and doing what I have always loved to do, go splashing around in a creek catching native fish for my aquariums. I am getting old now, nearly 69, and unable to go splashing around in a creek by myself. You both have some beautiful big tanks so I can see money is not a problem for you and you just enjoy catching native fish in the creek. In my opinion, there is just nothing more fun than this. And to top it off you can catch swordtails, barbs, platies, mollies, and more. You are lucky. I live in the State of Ohio, USA, and near where I live is a hidden canyon that the Grand River headwaters passes through. It is just a wide and shallow creek at that upper river location. It has high rock clifts on both sides. There is an old wooden covered bridge where I like to go. Upriver, there is the remains of an Erie Indian village in the clifts that date back 500 years or more. It is all owned by a private camp for wealthy people to send their kids. I use to know the administrator and was on friendly terms with him. He would even allow me to take in my Native American friends to see the ruins. When he passed away they got this new fellow who doesn't let anyone in except his paying customers. I sneak in downriver. He doesn't own the river anyway. It is a public waterway. The canyon is beautiful and the creekbed is full of really cool native fishes under and among the many rocks in the stream bed. Two really interesting ones are the North American Darter and Sculpins. I will send you some pictures of them. Also, I will send you a link to my Aquarium Encyclopedia you might find interesting. docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQ_51LzP8ZCUDY5v8zUz7XciGTrR-kkQqbfWm3zdTYlUZwpvLwkmDb_JLp2XA51Fq9rj_bk8RvHikSR/pub docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRiJmhv0W3R93t981s0hrxetCp5LPyeNwti20MkTlMQQbm4o0ttHKi-nIeFrLct55Q9oedIe6j4PyDJ/pub

    I am setting up an Aussie Rainbow tank soon, had them years ago and had several big tanks now I am starting again. just scored a 4X2X2 tank and stand with lighting and all pumps etc for 100 bucks so I am onto a good start. I will be putting in Empire Gudgeons and Crimson Spotted Rainbows to start with also Blue eyes. Good to see you guys enjoying the bush. I need to dive some of the deeper holes and see what is in there. Cheers Brad

    What a great idea, driving into nature, and catch some fish. That's absolutely impossibel living in the Ruhrgebiet of Germany. And the catfish living here reaches a length of 80 to 100cm. Perfect video and a good story to.

    Hey, Kaity If you're ever looking for a battery-operated air pump again, places like BCF, or fishing supply shops often sell bait-keeper setups with a pump, airstone and collapsable container in a complete kit. I've got one here at home that I picked up 'just in case I need it' a while back.

    Fantastic video, Australia has a lot of beautiful fish, and a beautiful sun. I liked your friend's aquariums. Interesting the portable pump to supply air to the fish, with battery or using energy from the car. I appreciate the store where you bought the pump, but TechDen looks amazing. Finally, I enjoyed seeing for a few moments, a supermarket in Australia, can you send a Coca Cola to Portugal?😄

    I was wondering if you have many turtles there (and whether they like Vegemite). If you do, and they ever go into traps, you might want to leave the trap with at least one end exposed to the air so that turtles have a place to get air. You don't leave your traps in the water for very long, so maybe it doesn't matter. I subscribe to some kids who trap in South Florida, and it was very sad to see a beautiful Painted Turtle who had drowned in a fully submerged trap. They leave their nets for hours, so maybe this doesn't apply to you. I have no idea how long a turtle can stay submerged before needing air, but I thought I'd mention this. Definitely do more videos with your friend.👍
