I've been to most of the creeks around Australia but have only not long started filming, yes there are dangers but you just have to be aware of your surroundings and watch for signs, I've also been around most of the country photographing snakes and reptiles and have kept venomous snakes for years, you have to be careful, I have even had ticks so many times now I get a reaction to them, we have some nice wild places.

I lived up the road from there, collected fish all the time, there’s quite a few jungle perch in those streams

That biotope is stunning!

You can't go collecting in the rain, you're gonna get the fish all wet. 😜 Another great job, collecting videos are just so much fun to watch.👍

The editing and the quality of this video is just amazing ngl i taught i was watching a documentaire, until i realized it was just a 10 min video

My uncle kept tropical fish when I was a young lad and I was always fascinated by them love watching Nicks enthusiasm and passion

Hay man Robbie here love your videos, I live in Port Douglas and have found freshwater sole in a local creek and it has coal grunter as well if you're interested in some more info let me know

Thanks Robbie! yes they are in a few creeks around the area, there are a few spots near Mareeba with them as well.

Beautifully done video!! You are so blessed to be able to visit such amazing habitats!!

Bro that's what dreams are made of imo. You all are so lucky to be able to do that stuff. Thanks for sharing ✌️👍💗💯🔥

That was an exciting day and trip, I only filmed them in the past so it was great to actually collect some even with the heavy rains, a awesome day had by all of us.

i have collected from this same spot before too, would be interested to see if you got variation in your fish as well. I have only managed to capture one with the same colours as the fish used in the thumbnail, all the rest are a pale orange with black stripe - same as the variants noted in angfa qld rainbowfish webpage

@@Nukeleuz Funny story, these may not even be Melanotaenia utcheensis, from what I've heard if I can remember properly, when they were first collected they may not of been from this creek and named, so down the track when they do DNA testing on these fish from all the surrounding creeks the Melanotaenia utcheensis name may be from a fish in another creek, so the Utchee Creek Rainbow may even be re-named and the Melanotaenia utcheensis may go to a fish from another creek, how weird will that be.

Wow, that is weird! I would love to show you a picture of the one i captured from that location which looks true to type. I have been back twice now to try and capture another with the more fluro pink colours but no luck, had me thinking they may be more upstream from this location but i would need landholder access by the looks of it.

Aloha ❤️ Thank you for sharing so beautiful 🐠

Beautiful fish, beautiful video!!!

that must have been an exciting day receiving your packages at home

wow the best view and place for camping in the forest

That’s so awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for doing this we need more videos like this,,, you're a PRO🫵💯👍

What a beautiful place! It's amazing there :) Thank you for such an enjoyable video :)

WOW!!! To catch your own rainbows in the wild....you make all of us so envious 😂 Amazing video Nick! Hope they're breeding up a storm for yah! Lovely little fish!!!

Fantastic. Looks like absolute fun.

you guys are just like a bunch of over grown kids enjoying catching some fish in the river with friends and a camera

the quality of this content is good enough to play on my flat screen w/ the family gathered around

You should plan a trip to the Amazon and film everything.

Love the vids, hope one day I can catch wild rainbows in Aussie its a dream. I have watched all the vids and you are a great fishkeeper, keep it up bro.

Reminds me of my childhood. Almost everyday after school down by the river till dusk.

That’s so fantastic, I love watching this 😊!I never knew there was a wetlands in Australia 🇦🇺.

Amazing documentary 🎉🎉❤❤ ..... almost transported me to the exact venture collecting wild fish ..

Amazing! I'd love to be able to do that. But not here in the UK

Fascinating film vision...So good to see where these fish thrive - team work is the dream work!

What an excellent tour of wild life and catching new breeds. Thumbs-up to you.

This looks like great fun! Our native freshwater fish species are in big trouble in the USA. Protect your streams and native fish!

That final aquarium is beautiful.😊

That was awesome. 10:04

Love the field trips! Thx for the videos!

Awesome video nick, looks like you have found yourself a very nice group of fish. There colours look absolutely stunning mate, cant wait for more updates on them... at least you didn't give up due to the weather .

Most excellent adventure Bru - looked like fun !

Interesting activity ..catching wild fish for your aquarium..thank you

Scoop overhand and bring it back towards yourself hitting the furthest distance of water first and dragging the net back towards yourself I’ve been from Maleny and Brisbane my whole life catching aquarium fish and wildlife out of creeks and I’ve found this method is usually smarter then the fish

glad nothing ate you - Australia is a scary place but also magical

Nice one...seriously planning to go this weekend

that some real pure joy

Loved the video! I'm glad you didn't break your neck in those slip on sandals! I was worried about that. But then, I am a worrier. LOL LOL. Have a great day

❤ really cool video and loved the biotope

long live the rainbow fish

Ok Nat Geo! So many great nature shots in this one.

that look like lots of fun

That is soooo awesome, wish i lived close to some cool looking wild fish i could catch.

I’ve got to ask being an American in love with Australia since growing up with Steve Irwin on the Tv every day. Do you not worry about crocs? Or are there areas you know are safe?? I always told myself if I went to Australia I would never go near the water.

Loved this show ..you really enjoyed yourself ..I was going to ask if you get to keep the fish to put in tanks ..as I kept watching my question was answered . Can't wait to see all the babies ..they are very beautiful fish ...

Great job ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Loving this video style

Great video

Bro this is Awesome...

This video was amazingly well done! Would love the opportunity to do something similar one day!!

Living the dream!

Love to watch your videos bro. hope we have nice weather like that in Melbourne. Love to fishing in when it's rain in hot weather. reminds me Sri lanka.

Colorful fish

Hi Nick, could you make a video on how to breed blue acara's.Also will those rainbows be on the website.

Well done to his mate telling him to scoop the other way I was thinking what a plonker

Amazing🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👍✌️Rainbow Fish

I like this place

I would try a net pulled across the mouth and it wouldn't need to be to large of a net. That's what we do here in the U.S.

@@twistedvibrations4669 local knowledge is valuable. Nasty big snapping handbags (saltwater crocs) despite their common name are found in most freshwater creeks and rivers in Northern Australia, including these short fast-flowing coastal creeks in FNQ. Big waterfalls like Barron and Tully Falls are natural barriers, but not always,; the bas____ds can travel 100s of KM upstream from the Gulf of Carpentaria and pop up a long long way from the sea. eg the Mitchell River, whose headwaters are only just west of Cairns. Be croc wise......always!

Great video mate, hope you kept your eyes open for the crocs 🐊

That's really cool! Are there any permits or anything you need to be able to catch and keep them?

are those fish you catched Melanotaenia praecox? have them in my aquarium to beatifull fish!

Where did ya get that net from? All my fish tanks are from catching wild fish but they are all pretty common fish. Thinking about dragging some friends out to the places you have success at one day.

Have you ever thought about getting into saltwater?

What nets do you guys use

Yes as said in the other comments, you can take 20 ornamental fish per species but we like to be sustainable and take less and breed them amongst our selves, we took 15 between us and then passed them onto one another to breed, there was no need to take anymore, look up bag limits for fish online you will see what you can and can't take, some fish are protected and others have different bag limits and size limits as well if they are table fish.

PLEAAASE be careful. My stomach was in my throat worrying for you because of salties

Are there crocodiles in there?

I enjoy the new format of your trip videos, but DUDE!, all I ever hear about Australia is everything there either wants to kill you or eat you and there you are out in the boonies with no shoes or shirt and just wearing your boxers? Did you do this before or after the beers?
