[Rivers, streams in AKL]

Hi everyone! just wondering if anyone knows of any local streams and rivers to explore in the north shore/Auckland region. 

I'm not looking to swim anywhere of course but I love all the ecosystem aspects of rivers and streams so wondering if anyone has good places to explore. Thanks

[Daphnia in Auckland]

Very late to this thread, but any chance of letting me know the source? I'm from Auckland and really keen on exploring some local water sources but don't know where to start

Hello people, new to the game and think I might have some Tetra Fry on the way. Trying to culture something but not having much luck. Until! I walked across the street in the Auckland CBD where there is some fresh water with a small duck family. A flashlight showed up heaps of Daphnia. So I sucked up a few and now hoping I can bring on a bunch more. Couldn’t resist and fed some to my Tetras. They went berserk. There was also one of those water boatman insects. A Silvertip Tetra took off after him and it took him a few seconds to catch it. Then a few to crunch it up and get it down. Was a fun watch. Black Neon Teras lit up as well.

Curious if any inner city folk are interested in the source?

Hope everyone is staying safe and doing their bit.
