Catching Rare Aquarium Fish In Australian Creek! + Tanks & Pets Update!

In this video we catch rare aquarium fish form a fast moving creek system! + We finally have an update on our fish tanks and we introduce the rest of the nano nerdz family!

Great vid guys! I've used marine or form ply boards in the past for shelving in those Pinnacle racks from Bunnings - much better load bearing capacity. Form ply is great in particular as it doesn't warp when it gets a bit wet...

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Thankyou so much! That's the plan! Luckily I work at a 2 pack kitchen paintshop! We have a panel saw just have to grab some form ply! Sounds like the go! As I do wild water changes haha

[@pigsandapples]

Love what you guys do. Thanks

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Thankyou muchly! Might need to go on a road trip soon to bring you different fishes!

[@calyso.le.bateau]

Australian wildlife never ceases to amaze me, great video too, that 6ft tank is gorgeous!

[@TheNanoNerdz]

We are very lucky to live where we do! The 6ft is looking good at the moment! Definitely need better lights tho! Thankyou for watching!!!

Your videos are so relaxing. Love these rare wild fish trapping videos. - from India.

Thankyou so much! Glad your enjoying them!

[@kurt20ification]

Awesome video, love your array of fish. The macaw is beautiful! I've just started to catch my own native fish to. Have some crimson spots and gudgeons would love to get some blue eyes and empire gudgeons

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Thankyou so much! The blue eye can be tough to find sometimes! They seem to avoid super clear water from what I have found! If you haven't seen it already I have a video catching blue eye!

[@kurt20ification]

@@TheNanoNerdz yes I've seen it thanks I binged watched alot of your videos lastnight lol. Great content

I love rainbowfish

[@TheNanoNerdz]

We are so lucky to have so many where we live!

[@jeffkane4391]

Thanks for sharing. I just found your channel I will check out some of your videos 😊

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Hope you enjoy dude!

[@jeffkane4391]

@TheNanoNerdz so far, definitely. Some fish keepers/breeders love to see the natural habitats and collecting type videos. They aren't always spectacular immaculate environments, but they are real. And real on KZbin, or the internet in general, is difficult to find. 😉

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Thankyou so much! Will keep going!

[@shaunneal9981]

I've got the same problem with those Bunnings racks. I'm going to build my own as have a number of different tank sizes and can custom it to those.

[@TheNanoNerdz]

We ended up using it for tools in the shed! Was terrible as a fish stand hahaha that's definitely the way to go!

[@Creativenativesaustralia]

Great vid mate. When you’re adding your new fish you should add the aquarium water slowly into the bag of your new fish not just let them float for the temp. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[@TheNanoNerdz]

I do like the drip tubes people use for acclamating! I will have to start doing that! Glad your enjoying the videos!

[@tinnyassadventures6018]

Have you ever see gertrude there my favourite Aussie native there an awesome little Pseudomugil as well as honey blue eyes

[@TheNanoNerdz]

I have! They are so pretty! I wish we had more options for blue eye around here to show! I think the closet is the spotted blue eye... still about 3hrs drive one way for us! But if the videos keep doing well a road trip is coming!

[@greggrover8247]

Would that be Marom Ck Jake ? Nice spot .

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Yep! Towards the alphadale crossroads!

[@CodyHughesfishing]

Hey I live in wollongbar and I'm trying to catch some of these fish that u catch here I need to no where that is can you please tell me

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Small world mate! Another wollongbarian! They can be tricky little buggers to catch! Head to the end Wonga way in wollongbar, walk into the bushes at the bottom of the road, when ya get to the creek look right and bobs ya uncle!

[@CodyHughesfishing]

Yeah ik that place but where are you in this video

[@danieldouglas1861]

what bait do you put innthe nets ?

[@TheNanoNerdz]

We use dog biscuits or cat biscuits! The ones with salmon or tun in them! But you can use frozen fish food or pelets

[@danieldouglas1861]

@@TheNanoNerdz i used algee pellets the other day and managed to get a few southwest goby and blue spot gobys

[@CodyHughesfishing]

Where are you in this video

[@TheNanoNerdz]

It's down the alphadale crossroads, where rous road turns into dalwood road! you can stop at the bridge and go under it!

[@CodyHughesfishing]

OK so it's near the crossroads I think I found it is there any way I can send u a picture of what I screenshotted to make sure it's the right spot cause I want to be able to get some of them fish

[@timmeh1384]

That catfish will start eating your smaller fish.

[@TheNanoNerdz]

He definitely will! But the plan is to get a pond in the next month or 2! So he won't be in there for much longer!

[@isaiahgarcia5563]

This guy must really love mosquitoes if he really hates mosquito fish like wtf kinda reason is that to kill it it’s a mosquito fish it’s gona do you a good service of keep the mosquito population down !

[@isaiahgarcia5563]

Don’t get me wrong I get there invasive but invasive don’t always mean that they are destructive and I have nothing against you mate fact I rather enjoyed the video best of luck to you mate

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Cheers for the comment dude! Nah I fully understand what you mean! It's not the mosquito fish's fault that it's here and they should be dealt with properly... Its the breeding side of things we're the natives cop it! Most fish fry eat mosquito larvae and are just as good at is as the mosquito fish. It's kinda like the cane toad/beetle problem... the government introduce a pest thinking it will benefit people and it just 619s our native lads from the top rope

[@isaiahgarcia5563]

@@TheNanoNerdz right on mate I totally understand as well I really did not know that about fish larve and I feel as tho I should have lol it’s not an uncommon thing for fish fry to grow up in I suppose

[@TheNanoNerdz]

Your right on! Fish on the most part look for still, planted or rocky parts of a creek to have their fry in. So they have places to hide and they can manage to hunt without the current blasting them away! It's also where the mozzies like to lay there eggs for much the same reasons!

[@ExAussieNavalAircrew]

Mosquito fish (gambusia) are not any better mosquito predators than the small bodied native fish that they displace, in fact generally the contrary is true. In addition they are notorious fin-nippers and harass small natives. They are a declared noxious invasive species for good reason.
