kiwiraka Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've finally been able to set up my six foot tank after ten months of waiting!!! I'm pretty happy with the scape, but I'll probably add another piece of wood that I'm soaking.I couldn't get many good photos of the fish, but there are:2 Giant Kokopu2 Banded Kokopu3 Inanga (One of which has reached 16cm and is only from last season )5 Redfinned Bullies (4 males, 2 of which I misidentified as young females )3 Upland Bullies3 Common Bullies2 Cran's BulliesAnd 1 KouraThe whole setup is about 900 litres and now, thanks to a small Banded Kokopu which managed to jump 10cm straight out of a hole barely as wide as itself, totally escape proof!Massive thanks to WillyP for all the help with organising the tank and even delivering it all the way from Auckland, very much appreciated I'll try upload more photos of the fish over the next week Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiraka Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Wow, looks great. How does the giant kokopu live with the bullies? Mine were gobbled up They've been fine so far, but that could change as they get bigger... I've got two chillers now, so if they do become a problem I'll just set up a bully tank Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted June 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 One of my Inanga (Caught late 2014 from a landlocked population) has been leaking eggs everywhere One of my other inanga and my banded kokopu both look gravid as well!

Silverdollarboy2 Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 How is the tank going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted May 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 This tank is a saltwater native at the moment. I actually totally shut down my FW natives. I really miss them though, so I'm in the process of setting them back up. Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
