    Re: Is there a "regular window" of availability?

    I have just been in contact with SQ Fish at Beenleigh.
    They advise that new seasons Silver Perch will be avbl in about 2 weeks
    Jade Perch at the end of November.

    It is best to email your order as Matt works in the farm a lot during the day.
    Also do not drop in without an appointment as Matt may be out in the farm and cannot stop what he is doing at the time to come and help you with fish etc.

    The Jades I got from SEQ Fish have been awesome - only 3 deaths out of about 120 fish. I may have lost a few small ones to the bigger ones eating them - can really tell as I have no way of counting them. Matt is also great to deal with - really nice bloke.

    Is there much difference between the silver, gold, jade.

    If you are allowed to have them Jades are the pick of the 3. From what I have read silvers are a bit slow to grow (or stop growing at a small size) and golds are fussy eaters no taking well to pellet food.

    In comparison Jades are ok in high densities and are good with eating pellets, live food (BSFL) and greens (lettuce leaves, cabbage leaves etc).

    Matt said he should have murrays around January as well as the Lake Eyre strain of golden perch.
