we are actually heading out there in Friday to pick up my new fish they are finally out of Quarrantine woohoo!

if there arent blackworms there, well, i guess i'll just make sure we take a detour to Aquamart or Pet Central

I haven't been on the net..so that's why I haven't replied.

Dave, what sort of numbers you reckon you'd be able to get (of the Atydiae's)

It depends on how much rain we get in the next few weeks. But I should be able to get around 2000-3000 fairly easily.

what sorta time-frame we lookin at?

Around 6 weeks. A bit longer if you want them quarantined.


If I send some down, I'll send them to one person, and it'll be up to them to distribute them around.

hmmm i think dave's bailed on us!

iv never heard of these shrimp before, (prob also coz m new to shrimp!) do they have a common name? where can i find out more info about the shrimp?

Okey dokey, well the species we get are the same one's Dave's offering, so that might be an option... I'll have chats with Calla... I think she wanted to get some Mussels & other odds & ends while we were there.... The place is up near Port Stephen... so it's a couple of hours drive...

Dave, what sort of numbers you reckon you'd be able to get (of the Atydiae's) & what sorta time-frame we lookin at?

hey sin what type of shrimp do you get at the place you go to for the shrimp run? how much r they too? how longs the drive? so many questions!

thanks dave for your offer! where abouts r u in aust? do you keep these shrimp as pets or to feed your other fish?
eat most fish they can catch!?!? how big r these guys??

Paratya australiensis (a species of Atydiae shrimp).

There's also another species that lives up here aswell, I can never remember the name. They'll eat most fish they can catch though, so you probably wouldn't want them.
Forgot to mention it's a species of freshwater prawn (Palaemonidae sp.)

What kinda shrimp though Dave?

I don't understand how you people can actually pay for shrimp..

Once we get some more rain, i'll gladly send some down.

*slaps Billy* Oi! Leave my suburb alone

On the original note, I did eventually pick up soe Blackworms at Castle Hill, they generally have them in their fridge But thanks anyways

The next shrimp run's looking at being in a couple of months.... maybe sooner if i've got a weekend where I'm doing squat ....or if i can con someone into coming up there with me sooner than that... it's a very drive on your own

christmas party? haha oh man its sooo gud to finally find a fishsite on the net that is australian run! i get jelous when i go on the net and see all these fish and aquarium stuff u can buy online in the states and UK!

FEB?!?! this will be a true test of my patience oh well atleast thhats one less distraction from my studies

i think i was asking you before y grindal worms over whiteworms if they are so hard to find or something like that!

WOW wild caught bettas? thats MAD! iv never seen wild caughts before, i ddnt know you could even get them! send us a pick of em when u can! how much r they if u dun mind my asking, my brothers getting quite attatched to breeding bettas atm.

annyways i think we're deviating from the thread!

I'm sorry, Billy just gets to take this opportunity to laugh at areas named Turramurra and Wahroonga

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread...

PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

No, no news on the grindals, but i'm going to contact the live food supplier and see if they can get them.

No news on the shrimp run, but there is a Xmas/new year party/get together being planned for Sydneysiders at my place... so maybe we can organise the run before then, if not, its in February.

And i have a pair of B. smaragdinas (wild caught) coming in from thailand they have a few pairs, i really want 2 males and a female (i already have 1 female) but they come in pairs, so we will see Maybe Kevin will split a pair for me

hi,

i know this is a pretty old post but by the looks of things you didnt get any blackworms!

if you are still looking for them i reckon Slippery Little Suckers would have them, when i wanted white worm and microworm cultures they said they could order them and have them ready for pickup in a few days. they were only $4-$5 i think per culture. just give them a call!

I'm pretty sure Auburn had them when I was there on Saturday...

Why don't you ring them up?

digiclear lives up your way and knows of a big new store around there. ask him

I find that a nice slightly skidding cornering method seems to move the leaves to the gutter, could be just me though

Cake > Pie

Well, didn't find any last night. ] grrrr. They're blackworms for pete's sake. It's not like I'm asking for 'solid-gold-worms'
I'll try Strictly Aquariums tomorrow & hope they have some. (On the bright side, if they don't have them I get to watch Matt eat Brine Shrimp! )

everyone loves our trees, none of them have to rake up the leaves though
