Her book on Native fish aquariums was what got me thinking about starting a native aquarium hobby. I had a small tank with tropical fish, but my lack of interest in them meant I wasn't keeping completely on top of their maintenance. When I was flicking through the book, I saw the opportunity to make an easy-maintenance microfauna tank, so I stripped the aquarium of it's mechanics and set it up with aquatic plants, snails and shrimp. The 70L tank I am considering would house a few bullies and koura. I would like to add some greenery that can withstand the shredding of the koura, so does anyone know about any local spots to gather Koura-resistant plants?

Thank you

Thank you for the advice but I am hoping to create a native freshwater setup.

Hello, I'm a young budding ecologist and I've recently discovered that its legal to keep native freshwater fish. I have just set up a self-sustaining native microfauna aquarium and it is flourishing with potamopyrgus and paratya shrimp. I'm thinking of setting up a native fish aquarium of about 70L and wouldn't mind some advice on that. I live in Oratia, Auckland so does anyone know what lives around here (I've found common bullies, Koura, shrimp but nothing else in Oratia stream)?
