Keep these ones coming, got me frothing might get one myself

Get a jack .they have heaps of character .Mine comes out of the water and rips fish out of your fingers.I use a cast net catch enough for a month or two,put them on a backing tray and then freeze them.

Mate has a Jack there so argo. Definately the way to go

That's a magnificent Aquarium and what I consider the Iconic National Fish of Australia (Barramundi)! Anthony is HECTIC! This is so interesting! Just a bit of a warning about adding 'Furniture' to your Aquarium? Remember that you lose water volume and this can influence your carrying capacity and the amounts of medication/additives. Try to use synthetic rocks and stuff from a reputable pet shop. Natural rocks can leach toxins, introduce parasites and fungi and the added weight can cause your tank to fail. Consider breeding your own feeder fish due to parasitic load. I find a long plastic hose to be useful as a kind of vacuum cleaner when you do a water change or want to remove a huge lump of shyte. If you've ever stolen petrol then it's pretty much the same method! I have a few snakes in terrariums. Going to have to investigate this Tick-Tock now. Have a great day, Brooksy! Looking toward to seeing Anthony more often! Ya LEGEND!

Getting pet Murray Cods was one of the best things i did. You'll be surprised how smart and conscious they are . Gave me a new perspective on fishing, understanding that a species of fish are not all the same. They are all individual.

👏👏👏An aquarium in your home will bring you lots of happiness frothing man 🤙

tie a rock/sinker to the timber. Helps it stay on the bottom whilst it becomes waterlogged. Water may also be cloudy as there is to much sunlight hitting it. Had that happen to my tank. Had to move it to a location where no direct sunlight hit it and cleared it up.

videos have been so good lately brother keep em coming !!

I wouldn't add any more fish till the aquarium has more time to cycle. The more filtration the better. Have the same canister filter on 5 foot tank, issues, added fx4 and no problem. Great hobby and 1 tank could just be the start.

Love it! Looking forward to more of Anthony and friends.

Your channel just leveled up big time

Brooksy, Your cat YEEMAN is going to LOVE your tank. It's like tv for them. God bless

That was sick hand feeding barra

Dude this was awesome soooo keen to see some more of these vids 👌🏻👍🏻

Congrats on the new fish and tank

Love Vid's like this. Fresh Green prawns are a great back up if you can't get livies.

Welcome to the hobby of aquarium fish!! My man Dan is an expert!!

If you're gonna have some big fish in there, you may want to get a small 15 or 20 gallon to hold the feeders in, that will cut down trips to buy them! But 100 at a time! It seems like more work with 2 tanks, but in reality its gonna make things a lot easier!

Barra for sure mate, for entertainment and to watch how quickly they grow. Also to just study their mannerism and traits. It is amazing to watch them tailing when they are small and feeding. I used to get them at around 50 mm and go to small freshwater creeks with scoop nets as in fish tank nets and catch tiny little shrimp and to watch them approach , tailing and the way they use their pectoral fins and tail fin only to slowly home in on the little shrimp, then bang to watch the implosion feeding is awesome. You can always add the Jack later. Peacock Bass are a stunning looking fish , however it is a form of cyclid which is the same family of fish as the noxious Tilapia. So when the Barra gets to big for the 6 foot tank (and it will) you can let it go. The Jack will never out grow that tank. The Peacock Bass may not either, however the Peacock does have the potential to get to the size that it may become uncomfortable in the tank. If it does, and you decide it no longer is fair on the Peacock Bass to keep him in there, what will you do with it. You can not let it go into the waterways as it is not native to Australian waterways. People think well it is only one fish, however who knows what may happen in nature, look what happened with the Tilapia and that started up here outside of Cairns. Now Tilapia are absolutely everywhere, whose to say a Tilapia and a Peacock Bass may not cross breed. Both Cyclids, both mouth brewders , both highly aggressive and eat anything basically. Anyway mate just a few things to think about for down the track should you wish to add more fish to the tank etc. Take care mate and fish are an awesome way to stay entertained while in lockdown,ha ha ha ha. Regards Dave.

That was incredible so violent on the strike completely mental.

Seachem purigen will clear your water right up, put some in a stocking and put inside ur pump in the top level. Works wonders. Buy it from eBay 1litre container

Hi mate, I used to have a 6 foot long x 2 foot wide x 2 foot high x 12 mm thick glass tank. I had 1 x BARRA and 1 x JACK. Spent many many hours just staring at them. Amazingly stress relieving. I used to go to freshwater creeks and find nice water submerged pieces of timber to use to make the tank look very natural and create natural ambush type cover points for the Barra and Jack to sit under. Throw in $20 - $30of feeder goldfish and let the fun begin. Feeder goldfish are like a copperish colour, not orange like normal gold fish. I also used an under gravel filter hooked up to one powerhead canister filter. This draws all of the water , fish poo etc through the gravel and gets trapped under the gravel tray. The water gets crystal clear very quickly, i also ran a second powerhead canister filter with different stages of sponges, charcoal and spikey balls that special bacteria grows on to help kill bad stuff. I also used to use little bits of coral and or sodium bicarbonate to help keep the water PH LEVELS CORRECT. I hope some of this is helpful. I forgot to say, i used to get my white crystal type creek sand for the tank from a freshwater creek or dam normally from where you got the tree stumps. Black gravel looks good but is a little harder to tell when cleaning is required. I used to use a vacuum tube connected to a hose , turn hose on then off so it begins to suck, go through the tank sucking the sand up partially into the tube and this also helps clean the poo etc out, also causes the white creek sand to rotate etc and it looks very clean and white again. Once again hope this helps mate. I had this set up until my Barra was an extremely fat 75 cm's long and i let it go. Regards Dave.

Keep the Barra vids coming brooksy

Love the feedings

Love it mate keep these coming

Nice set up. You can pick up a water test kit pretty cheap so you can monitor all of the water parameters without driving to the pet shop. Love the bara, he is awesome. Cheers

Hey Brooksy luv ya vids mate. Sick tank! heads up with the Prime (red lid) only use that when u add more water... not every day...

Hey mate with the water changes - check the prime bottle but I’m pretty sure you are supposed to add prime to water in a separate bucket before adding it to the tank. The way you are doing it still exposes the fish to chlorine before the prime can get rid of it.

Also add a protein skimmer if you are going with brackish or salt water mate

update 2024! anthony progably got grand children by now and owns a big company

Good luck with the tank mate

Good video big fella!

That's straight up sick brah. Makes me want a weapon fish. Props on your decision to set it up. Definitely should be chucking some frenchies (frogs) in there or see if he'll smash some lizards or some little crabs. First time I've commented, but I've been following your Chanel for at least a year & you're a mad dog bro. If you're keen to come out of my 28ft boat around Perth later in the year, I'd be happy to take you out with the boys. Smashing dhuies over 20kegs, the fads out the back of rottnest island are already holding shitloads of mahi mahi & there's some solid Spanish lurkin about & some big pinkies like usual, was a big pinkie spawn in Cockburn sound this yr (happens like every 10yrs) So there's some horses about. Ladtly If you went n smashed decent GT's/Mundie on a solid fly rod with a heap of braid backing, I bet it'd draw a lot of new viewers to your channel n help you out, cos who does that loose sh*t? Pce 🤙

BIIIIIIIIG BROOKSY!!

I'd also change your glass cover to perspex, barra and jacks have a bad habit of bumping them and if they fall they break. Only took 3 times for me to change mine! lol

This is skitz bro. Keep them coming. Got me frothing on getting a tank and a fish

Barra and Saratoga.Trick to fishtanks water changes the more the merrier.

WOW !!! Sick Tank !!! Yeeman is going to get really pissed off now, no attention !!!! See if you can get live prawns to feed Anthony !!!!

i have one barramundi on my pond, and i'm addicted to hear its sound when he eat..

That was awesome!

Nothing like watching the old Brooksy on the birthday 😂 yeww

Love the tank and the fish brus keep doing your thing and updates on the tank regularly would be great

Anthony is pretty freakin psycho! By the way, I'm loving it! Definitely post more of these!

That’s so sick. Post more vids of feeding. Love seeing baitvfish get smoked

can you let a massive cicada or a frog or something loose on the surface. It'd be nuts seeing him chase it down and boof it, also see how the wild hookup ratio is considering how much they miss topwater lures haha

insane video, feeding was so dope, keep em up mate

Love it bro!!! We’ve gotta do a Barra video when we’re in Oz!

hey man. im not sure about salt water species but i know that with fresh water species you need to be careful about the wild food you put in the tank because you can add different kinds of parasites and bacteria so you should quarantine the wild fish for a couple of weeks in another tank. i love this video and i cant wait to see the tank when its done!!

Maaaaatttteeee fkn awsome mate, once ive got room def going to get a setup as thats awsome. Lil fella froth on this vid and has watched it ALOT. Keep it up

Awesome doggie!!

Loving it brooksy . Keep the vids coming.

SALTWATER WITH CORAL! U WONT REGRET IT!!!!

Hey @brooksy I have a long experience with aquarium, if you need any tips or help let me know! Quick tips for the cloudy water is to change water about 10 percent every day for a week,also you can buy sacham and put it in your filter and it will make your water crystal clear

Oi Sick setup bro made me keen as for one! Should hit up the jetty’s across from aus fair always some herring around there at night.

Bro that was sick! Seeing him eat is dope! Shame about the yt man really enjoy the vids!

nice setup Brooksy, Barra are awesome pets, just dont feed too many goldfish to it mate, they arent actually that good a food for them and goldfish also occasionally have some weird bacteria depending on where you get them, one in particular grows under their scales and if eaten by a big predator like your Mundi is almost certainly going to be FATAL!!!. Pellets and native bait fish are the way to go mate, try to get your bait fish from as cleaner water as possible, look forward to future Mundi feeding time vids, keep up the good work, Bloody Legend

Litterally went n got a tank and 2 baby barra like a month ago haha there so skitzy. Yewww keep the vids coming brooksyy!!

That was awesome!!!! Cool name for him too

You should have a small tank for poddies

More fish tank video’s Great video

Mate no need to stress out the Barra he will live no matter what the water is like. I have one and I have had him for about 4 months now and I clean his tank every month

Jack for sure

Hahahaha haha love the content brooksy! Keep it up!

Jack of some sort

You should go out and catch the fish! Get a cast net, they're relatively inexpensive, and catch some babies! I'm a fan of people keeping native species to wherever they are in the world. Who knows, you might catch some baby Bluefin Trevally or a baby GT! If you want aggressive, then yeah, catch some baby Bara's. I imagine those are pretty darn aggressive when fed, fun to watch.

I❤️Anthony!!!!😍🤗😊🐟

Jacks for sure

Hahah sick! I got a 500l tank i was thinking about a couple big marine fish..

Post more of feeding the Barra

Great content keep up the hard work aloha from Hawaii

Peacock bass and barra can live together i did it for 4 years just make sure they are both around the same size

I have a barra and three peacock bass in my 6foot tank

Nice tank mate. I had a small pond, got a few Japanese Koi, but not really knowing what I was doing I had some major filtration issues and very nearly lost all of them. I did a heap of research and decided I needed to start over from scratch. The Missus 'agreed' - and spun out when it ended up being BIIIIG! 3m x 2m x 1.8m deep, with nearly 1000ltrs of filtration chambers lol. That was a few years ago now and I've learnt a hell of a lot since then - and these are principles that are still really relevant to your tank. Anyway, water quality is what you've got to get up to speed with - basically captive fish are living in a toilet, so it can go really bad really quickly. If you've not got it already, get an API Master Test Kit, and test daily - certainly for the first month. Everything is brand new in there and it'll take a while for the beneficial bacteria to build up and populate the biological part of the filter - the quick start stuff helps, but it'll take a few weeks for the filter to mature and start working properly. Cloudy water/ algae blooms/ water quality issues are really common, often referred to as 'new tank syndrome'. Build your stock of fish up slowly - it's hard cos your frothing to get them all in - but remember that every new fish will put more shit (literally) in the water and the biological filter won't be able to keep up and you'll get ammonia or nitrate spikes that can kill them all overnight. Go easy on feeding for a while too - again - more food equals more shit, and more work for the beneficial bacteria. When you clean your filter, always do it in a bucket of tank water - never use straight tap water as the chlorine in it will nuke all your good bacteria and you'll be back to square one with really bummed out fish. The set up will mature in time and you'll only test weekly or so. There's probably more stuff I've forgotten to say now, but what I've said should help for now. Good luck with it brah!

get some sand bags on those lids only takes 1 cockroach for broken glass potential dead fish

Thanks champion

Got to earn the fishes trust haha

Aye brother sick video I'm thinking about doing one myself with a Mangrove Snapper, and thanks for getting back to me the other day it's crazy you have only caught tarpon 50cm. Compared to here in in Florida wish you could of got one when ya visited

Put a jack in with him for sure

Arowana...gorgeous fish hands down my most enjoyable fish I ever kept.

Brooksy get a python water changer they make water changes really simple!

Having a fish in a tank for your channel is a sick way to grow your channel out and get more subscribers, just 1 step closer to 1mil.

An changing 1/3 of water every 2weeks helps alot an less for fuck with the better an when cleaning big or any filter keep water from canister in bucket an only put some of bio balls or whatever is in filter an don't clean carbon bag .this will help keep bacteria cycle from dying.hope rant helps

barra grow extremely fast, they reach 30cm in their first year and then 60cm in less than 3 years. So you'll need a new fish or new tank in few years. an 8ft tank is usually safer for barra

Brooksy! Now make that feeding highlight reel on Instagram...

chrismas beer YES I KNOW I NEED TO MOW MY LAWN

So sick!! How would he go on a frog?

Peacocks are alot more aggro than barra if u like geed up fish

How is he going now

@Brooksy Who do you recommend for fishing charters in Australia? I definitely want to do some GT fishing and hit the great barrier reef!

dude can you give me a breif explanation on how to keep barramundi as a pet???

Hey brooksy , Love the tank!! Look into feeding them goldfish it’s not ideal for them. There are heaps of videos that will show you why not. Joey from diy king has a great channel to teach new things.

hey nice vid man KEEP IT UP

Archer fish are pretty Kool!!

Bro I round up all the geckos 😂 throw them in and watch him smack em 👌😁

how many litres is the tank

that tank needs a mangrove jack .

Sick vid

Goooo daniel 😂

What about the plants???

That fish is better for him. Get a small 20 gallon tank to keep your feeder goldfish in
