Thanks Ray.

I still wonder if this is still council owned and leased, which would make it crown water, that being the case, state fisheries regs would apply.

And, if it is crown water, was there a permit to stock issued?

Native fish? Yellow belly? What world is yellow belly native to SE QLD in?

Got 2 Aequidens rivulatus juvies when catching invertebrates (not fishing) reported them. Probably best not say the most common non indiginous native in there and its not yellas.

So, the sentence could have read "Got two Green Terror Cichilds while catching shrimp....?"

I thought the term fishing encompassed the netting or trapping of invertebrates.

With a lot of animals, common names can be very ambiguous. That's why using scientific names is very specific, and the end result identifies only one particular species.

Especially with species of Cichlids, they are so many different ones in the pet trade. Some common names used in their sale don't adequately identify what it really is.

Keep up the good work Elops. Fascinating stuff.

Cheers,
Dave.

Sorry best to use binomial nomenclature as Dave said there are a lot of cichlids with a plethora of common names. These are the guys in the upper Tweed, the fact sheet Ray posted you will note says Tropical 20-25c but it gets a fair bit cooler on the pacific slope in Peru so they seem to be able to establish in our local waters. Quite a few of these SA cichlids with the same potential.

Lets not split hairs....Cichlids are cichlids. In this context, they are all non natives and pests to Aussie waters.  :walkplank
If it walks like a duck..... ?

The sad thing is there are Aussie 14 year olds who can tell you the Genus and species of the Bluefinned assbiter as well as the location in the lake in Africa where it originates from yet would be unable to identify a Gudgeon in the local creek.

Sounds like Forest Lake too, can understand why fishing is prohibited (heaps of children running around). Is the council responsible for pest control?? Its full off non natives!
