Yellow belly fingerlings
« on: February 07, 2015, 03:30:29 PM »
Property I have access to out at Mitchell has some big dams out there (big enuff to ski on) owner was asking me about putting some yells in his dam maybe 2000 odd, what would be easier getting them boxed up and sent to Roma as freight or trying to find the closest yella breeder out that way, if he was closer to the east coast it would be easy but seeing as he's a lil west I dont even know where to start.

Cheers

Only a small number, I'd get them packed into brocolli boxes and put on a bus to Roma or Mitchell for collection. Most hatcheries do this I would think.

Cheers,

There is a bloke up Childers way who specialises in this sort of provision of fish for farm dams. Being used to buying 10 of thousands at a time you will probably have a heart attack at his unit prices though!

 I think I payed 55 bucks for 100 yella last time I stocked my farm dam.  That was delivered to my local town in a local bulk order a bloke arranged.  That was a few years ago now and never seen one since.  Dam did run over a few times during the floods.  I Have never had much success with yellowbelly though.  My best were results were with bass.  Stocked it with 100 and think they nearly all lived.  Were very healthy fish and got up to 35cm.  In the drought I started to lose them due to heat.  Saved as  many as I could putting them in our natural spring dams  that never went drybut not sure how they went after that.  Floods of 2011 could of took them all the way to wivenhoe.  Just for anyone interested the bulk order some got both yellowbelly  and silver search and the silver perch seemed to be alot better of a thing to stock here.  They both grew and survived better and were more easy to catch.
