Australian FISH FARM visit

[northboy]

Hi All,

Here is a couple of photos from a recent fish farm visit, The one photo I was hoping to get was of a 2,00lt pond with 12,000 Neon's in it, but there was a problem with the breeding a few months ago, so it was not to be.

One of the sheds, excuse the photo, I did not wipe the water off the lense

These Angels are around the 8 to 10cm+ body length, with out the tail. There was 20 ponds of them at that size

Platys all good size fish

Head and Tail light Tetra's

One of the Angel males breeders

Harliquin Rasboaras, they are big and I bought a heap of them lovely

Plants around some of the ponds in another shed

A gold wenerii I had from there a while ago

There is a mistake in my fish ID there, swords in the Platy shots

Enjoy Bob

Very cool pics Bob, thanks for sharing! :encouragement:

Wow didn't even know we had tropical fish breeders on that scale in Australia:encouragement:

[northboy]

I always do that Ninja, so I fixed it. Dyslexia.

It is a big farm and that is only a small bit of it and of course it is up here.

They put out just short of 1,000,000 fish a year, but are not open to the public

Something else they breed

The photo is of my fish form there.

Great Pics Bob!! Thanks for sharing, must be amazing seeing those fish in such large ponds!!

[northboy]

It is a eye opener to see them like that, no filter no system, just ground water running through 24x7.

Most of the photos were taken in the pond with the fish.

Fishmosy should have some to add, Ben was there for a visit to.

What an amazing place! I thought all aquarium fish were bred in Asia.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Bob! :applause:

What a shame you could not get a pic of the 12.000 Neons! Would love to see that.

[jayc]

What? No shrimp?

Just joking. I'd love to have visited this place as well. Too bad it's so far away.

[northboy]

I am giving them some Cherries on Thursday, Reds and Yellows
