Silverdollarboy2 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well I was looking for bullies with dad and a mate and just as we were leaving we saw heaps of koura. So I took one home now where to put it :dunno: . So can I put it in a 54 litre tank with a 5cm bully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I don't know enough about natives to say yes but if you have no where else to put it, you will have to put it in with the bully. Once caught they can no be released back into any stream or waterway, even where you originally got it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 If you have lots of hiding places it should be okay. I have a 7 cm koura with some small 3 cm bullies and they just swim away if it gets too close, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjansss Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 It depends if you have some drift wood with nooks and crannies that the bully can go into at night where the crayfish cant reach it it should be okay in till you can move it i would make sure the crayfish always has an easy food supply or it will propoly eat the bully :ske: also make sure feed it both meat and veges Also big bully i had one about a pencil and a half long but it died :cry1: :an!gry &c:ry :tears: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 depends on the koura to some extent as well I had two at one stage one was real aggressive (female) and it would attack anything and everything including the kokopu. The other (male) was very placid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 I put it in a tiny iq5 tank and when I got home from school I put it with the bully.At first it seemed OK and then started following the bully round the tank, until the bully thought it was a rock to rest on, as soon as the bully landed the koura nipped the bully's tail so its now in the iq5 until it can play nice.

kiwiraka Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 My two get boiled peas, heart and the odd fly. Carrots would probably be okay boiled, blueether should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverdollarboy2 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think my one has gotten the black spots because the cave in there is grey with black spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
