I think ive asked b4 but ill try again, I wanna Stock the dam at home..

What Fish should I put in it?

Note;
It Gets Very Cold
Water Clarity is generally ok.
There are some turtles and Yabbies in it.

Does anyone know the names of places who sell the finlings?

Try some of the schools in your area. Up our way the Prosipine high have there own tanks for barra breeding .That is part of the kids program for the year. they are released into stocked dam and funds from the venture go to the next batch. Maybe if theres nothing like this going on it could be sugested and maybe intrduced.

can't put barra in, they can't handle the low temperatures.

There's an interesting thread on ausfish about a guy who has converted his pool into a fishtank. Although he lives in Brizzy he reckons it will still get too cold for the barra to survive, but he has bream, tailor and a flattie in there now.

Apparently you can convert some fish to fresh from salt, especially those that naturally occur in estuarine systems since they have to be able to handle fresh water as well.

Guess you could start off with some bream. When you catch them, put them in brackish water and over like 24-48 hrs slowly change this to fresh, then pop them in the dam. They would need food of course so you'd have to look at getting small baitfish in there as well.

Only thing to worry about really is introducing noxious species in there as you could be fined. Other than that any species that occur naturally in freshwater and brackish water in NSW should be just fine.. best thing is you don't have to buy them, you can just catch them. smile.gif

Rumpus yold you B4 put some bass in there cause they're a pretty hardy fush

Only prob is you'll have to keep restock the dam cause the wont breed in there.

Oh yeah I'd also put a Bunyip in there as security, heard Martin is coming to oz laugh.gif laugh.gif
