Thanks for watching! 🙂

Thank you! and thanks for watching, she might find some nice spots out of these videos.

Thank you! this is one of my aims, we don't have enough wild footage, especially for Australian native fish.

Great!

You can try burst mode holding the camera up to the glass, iPhones are amazing at taking photos and film but with photos of fast moving fish I still think the burst of the flash guns with a high speed camera setting can't be beaten unfortunately, I will do a video on filming down the track with a phone and some of the ideas I've used with it as it's a great tool that you can then screen shot off the video, but if it's fast moving like a sparing Rainbow you still need a lot of luck for it to be crisp.

Thanks mate! I had a good teacher, it's just a shame I don't have the same patients 🙂

Thank you, yeah I may do that down the track to, I've seen some really cool spots being videoed but the camera movement can spoil it.

It's coming, I've finished my new studio and I'm in the process of building the tanks, this is why I have been a bit slack with my videos, once it's all done I hope to do a lot of builds and videos based on our natural habitats, I've also been to the Northern Territory recently so there should be a few good ones out of there to, so keep an eye out 🙂

@@australianbiotopes4563 Sounds awesome man will you be at the next auction on the 20th? i'd love to meet you in person, You inspired me to go out and catch my own crimsonspots and hardyheads

@@oats517 Yes probably although I won't have a stall at the next one, so I'll have more time to chat with people, I'd like to go to one and just relax and enjoy and maybe get some fish 🙂

Yes it's great fun, the beauty of taking such crisp photos is you can blow them up to poster size and they don't pixilate, the trouble is choosing the one 🙂

Thank you! I hope they help 🙂

You should be able to, if it gets to cool maybe try in a patio so you can add a heater.

Thanks for watching.

That's no good Thanks for letting us know.

I would do one but at the moment it's winter so there isn't much happening with the fish now they are very sluggish, maybe when spring comes along, it's still going well though and I harvested some good quantities of young fish out of it.

@@australianbiotopes4563 I would love to do one of these ponds breeding blue eyes. Honey blue eyes have always interested me, people their rarity and threatened status. I'm in Logan if you ever don't know what to do with them 😁

@@jamestoddguitar1433 Yeah I normally do when the weather gets warmer.

Yes that would be great! I hope to get as much information out there as I can but it would be much better 🙂

Yes they sound nice!

Thanks for watching 🙂

Thank you! I have been observing these waterways for years and I'm amazed at the lack of information on the underwater habitat, so I thought I'd document it my self.

Thanks for watching 🙂

Thank you for watching 🙂

Thank you for watching!

I have had people tell me they have been there since and are having trouble finding them now, so if anything by making it public it will keep them down.

Thank you!

Not that I'm aware of, that is one of the reasons for this video.

Yeah good for shell dwellers.

Thanks for the tip.

Thank you! if you have plants growing in it they will absorb it, you don't need to do water changes, just top it up as it evaporates, the fish waste helps feed the plants and in turn gives your fish cover, Honey Blue-eye are one fish that don't really like the aquarium situation so I always suggest to breed them up in a pond and fish a few out once you have a good colony to put in your tank.

@@australianbiotopes4563 great thanks so much and you just feed as normal? Do you know at what age they usually start to spawn? Thanks again.

Thanks for watching, make sure you put plenty of places for them to hide so they can get away from each other, I did a biotope aquarium on them as well, if you look back through my videos if your interested.

@@australianbiotopes4563 Perhaps one breeding pair. I appreciate your advice. I mention you in my youtube. rikdownunda

Thank you for watching, yes they are very beautiful.

I'm not sure if they are edible, but coming from a run off in an industrial area, I probably wouldn't try them anyway.

The best we can do is to catch them young, they go for baits as a younger fish much more readily than the older fish.

They are still patchy but they are slowly spreading unfortunately, they don't readily take bait like most fish being that they are sand sifters, still they do occasionally get caught.

Thank you.

Not much as far as I know.

Thank you!

Yep.

You can't beat nature, Thanks for watching 🙂

Just down from the falls.
