livingart Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 if a novice maybe start on the less rare native kokopu the banded. +1 stellas book ++1 research, research, research take your time and set up the tank slowly once tank is cycled then go to your nearest stream and catch a few, just a few, fish Giants are hard to find or distinguish from bandeds when young big giants are better left where they are until you have kept bandeds for a few moonths and have a chiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 +1 all of the above I would also suggest getting a cooler and a very large tank. I wouldn't keep a giant in my 4'x2'x2' tank and I think that a full sized banded would be a tight fit as well, the ~15cm one I had looked good untill it jumped out one night. I would suggest catching them as whitebait and growing them up, you never know what you will get and the inanga that you do catch will full the tank untill any banded grow up some. Of the 1/2 dozen whitebait I caught last weekend it looks like one just might be a kokopu :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
