Murray Cod Wonderland

Hi, here is my native tank, all the val has been eaten since the photos and now it is heavily planted with two different varieties of rush, as it seems to be the only plant that doesnt get eaten. Enjoy.

Hey Daz, yeah its the first time I have had cod, I had two of them to start with, people told me they would fight but they didn't, one grew quicker than the other and made sure he got all the food I put in. The catfish are a "Tandanus Tandanus", also a native, has a tail like an eel, the cod seems to get along with them ok, it might have something to do with the fact they are on different foods, not sure still learning, I will post a new pic of my tank as soon as i can take one, got one of the catfish for ya tho. cheers, Josh.

looking good mate, how do you go with the plants in there? do they pull them out all the time?

[turkilurki]

Thanks pal, when I had val and other softer plants in there they pulled them up but now I only have lime rush, it seems to be the only plant they aren't interested in

mate its the cray thats doing it he may even get a claw to one of your fish. take him out and get-a-plec it will eat that green algae on the wood and may even end up your favorite

btw rush is not a true aquatic looks good though!

[turkilurki]

Yeah Thanks pal it's not the yabbie, he is just food for the cod, I would love to try a pleco but I have no doubts he will become a meal himself. I know about the rush i get it from a nursery soooo cheap, bugger paying 5 bucks a bunch.

Hey there Turk,

I love your videos on You Tube. I have been a fan for the last couple of weeks.

I am too an owner of a cod. Just done a transfer today. He has out grown the three footer, so I got him a nice 6 x 2 x 2. Very nervous about it, but he seems to be going OK.

Like the tank, love the logs. I will post some pics shortly, or when I am happy with the tank.

Cheers mate
