Fish Suppliers

[headinthecloud]

Hey everyone,

I'm wondering if it's worth compiling a summary of fish species and suppliers and their contact details, ie silvers, jades, sleepy cod, barra etc...

Can anyone help with this.

Cheers,

Gordon.

I am picking up my Jade Perch from a hatchery at Beenleigh (between Gold Coast and Brisbane, Qld) on Wednesday - I will post more details about what they breed once I have visited. So far they have been great to deal with.

[Murray]

Please post the fish suppliers/hatchery name address phone and email / web details HERE IN THIS THREAD and one of the admin/mods will collect/move the details together into one post. Then we will make this thread sticky.

We need details for the whole of Australia and overseas for the international members please.


Please only post details of suppliers that are significant ....not just the local pet shop/aquarium unless they are particularly special in some way.


For example I came across an aquarium shop the other day that sells Silver Perch for $28.50 each I had to restrain myself from ordering a hundred of them........:rolleyes:
They said they are very keen to supply people setting up aquaponics systems. I am sure they would be......:D

Hi Gordon,
You might find this attachment useful although it is a bit old.
I would recommend people in NSW also consider AquablueSeafoods hatchery near Port Stephens.
Cheers

I have just received a batch of 100 Jades from Ausy fish today 29 July. They are late season around 100mm long and look really good.

They were the price you normally pay for little guys. Well done to Bruce and his merry men.

Wow - 100mm is a decent fish! Ive had mine for a few weeks now and will be a few more weeks before they are up to that size!

[Murray]

I have been dudded, :p
I got 100 yesterday and they would be 30mm long at best.
I don't care really....Jades grow very quickly anyway.
The important thing is that Jades settle in very quickly and are a very active and ready feeders.

Good luck to you Sunshine.

It means that we can all gatecrash your place for a fish BBQ a lot earlier than we had planned.......:)

Well you still did better than me - some of mine would have been 10mm long!

[djs-sa]

do they just give u what ever sizes or u ask 4 certain size and they dont deliver on size!!!

[Hamish]

Not really too worried that I got mine so small - it gave my system time to mature slowly which seems to have been good in the long run. No point having big fish and no veges or small fish and loads of veges or the system will either run high on Nitrates or low on nitrates.

As it turns out the difference between small fry of 10mm and decent fish of 8cm seems to be about 4 - 6 weeks in my system. So pretty happy with that. And I can learn as I go which is nice.

Hi does anyone know of a supplier of golden perch. We tried ausyfish today but no luck. Does anyone or has anyone got fish from seqfish at Luscombe near Beaudesert. We wanted something different from the jade perch to add variety but to grow out quickly. Currently have a 500lt glass tank with nothing in it except for a few mollies and guppies and heaps of snails.

[Hamish]

I got my Jades from SEQ and they were great to deal with.

thanks for posting that directory link martin. I was going to put the question up for a fish supplier in coffs harbour, however the directory has given a couple down the highway 10 minutes from me. thanks heaps

[Murray]

I need a hatchery in Victoria please. Anyone know of a couple that may be helpful. I have a client that needs 100 fish in about two weeks.
Client is in Melbourne.

[fishfood]

Murray google fish in farm dams it has all vic ones

[Dufflight]

Got my silvers the other day. Didn't measure them.

OK back to fish suppliers... is there a local supplier to Canberra region who is going to hatch their own? or shoud we be looking ****her (far ther) afield? this is a real word buthen again I am English so.... grin......

Gra.:confused:

Hi Graham,


.....or shoud we be looking ****her (far ther) afield? this is a real word buthen again I am English so.... grin......

Yes.....it's evidence that our language editor is working overtime again. It's a small price to pay to ensure that our site is acceptable for a mixed age international audience. It's one of the things that separates this forum from many others.

In the meantime, you can't say ***** or ***** and certainly never ever ****.......and I'm beginning to wonder if we should allow buthen English-speaking one....http://www.aquaponicshq.com/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif

[gtpratt]

he he he. I agree. The problem these days is the fact that we cannot rely on peoples own sense of common decency.

I have no problem with ****** or ****** but I would be offended by ****** :p

Kindest regards.

These are the closest places from the various aquaculture listings I've accumulated. Never dealt with any of them and the listings are a bit old, so nothing guaranteed. Any feedback welcomed as I'm trying to produce a nation-wide listing of all suppliers to be made a "sticky".
