CATCHING RARE Native Australian Aquarium Fish!

In this video we head to Moggill Creek in Brisbane, Australia, to see what native fish we can catch! We have a variety of beautiful rainbowfish that are native to the area, and many varieties can be found in the local creeks. These fish are commonly kept in aquariums here and can look absolutely spectacular!

[@GlassBoxDiaries]

Today I learned that Vegemite is so popular in Australia that even the native fish love it too...

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hahaha, it's so true!

[@user-ho8sr7mu9l]

The reason they use vegemite in bait traps up north is because it doesn't attract crocodiles. If you use fish food or something that smells like meat or fish, the crocodiles come and eat the traps.

[@xisotopex]

marmites better lol

[@v_kram]

I love these catching rare fish in their natural habitat videos. I hope you do more of these.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you :) I most definitely will since so many people enjoyed it!

[@v_kram]

@@Kaityscichlids Awesome! I look forward to seeing more of it. Such videos are very calming.

[@cheers2023]

I think it's great that you have so much knowledge about the native fish. It's good information to share, especially on the invasive fish.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much :)

[@freeroamer9146]

Living in America it's always great to see everyday things in your part of the world. The drone tour of the creek was especially interesting. Such variety in fish and plants! 👍

Thanks for sharing. Always like this type of video. Reminds me of my trips to the creeks back in the home to get fish.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That's awesome to hear :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@steveodonald9503]

Been setting up a new aquarium, and was researching rainbowfish, as I kept some store bought ones last time around (near 14 years ago).... You have inspired me to go "fishing" again... I used to go out to the creeks around Brisbane some 25 years ago, mostly just after Platty's, and whatever else I could find. ....Time to go fishing again, with new advice. Thank you, you're a gem :)

[@Kaityscichlids]

Awww, that is awesome to hear!! It's definitely a great pastime :) I hope you enjoy getting out there again and find some nice fish

[@user-kp8lb5lk6f]

I'm jealous of the warm weather it's cold in Texas right now. Enjoying the vids.

[@andrewramero4560]

try below freezing weather. Texas is warm

[@user-kp8lb5lk6f]

@@andrewramero4560 I've been in Texas when we were in the negatives... What's your point? I've also dealt with 112° here too.

Hello Kaity, that was nice to see, I would like to live as near to the forest as you do. I think having nature so close is my favorite part of Australia. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a nice and blessed weekend!!!

cool video. I use to have a brown trap the same and use to catch everything from red platies to 12 inch eels. this was about 20 years ago at kedron brook. very surprising how quick big eels would get in the trap. 😊

Great video If you take a really small glass or acrylic tank it will making.viewing and videoing the stuff you catch way better.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!! That is an excellent idea - I'm definitely going to do that next time

[@mifo2000]

Love taking my dogs walking along little creeks like that and watching them have fun. One loved swimming and one just like to lay down and cool off in the shallow water. Never thought to put a net in before.. Not much of a hunter but love dirt bikes and amazing views from mountains u cant get to with out walking for 8 hours to get there.

[@Kaityscichlids]

That sounds lovely :) Getting out in nature is always so nice, I love it

[@vladimirsochor2124]

That's great, catching aquarium fish in nature is just a dream here in middle Europe 😊

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much :)

[@bethanysummers3377]

So jealous of u guys in Qld being able to catch rainbows in your local creeks! Nothing to catch here in SA except murry rainbows and they have no colour. I swapped back with my husband😂 i took the rainbows back and he took my African peacocks, they just wernt my thing. I love Rainbows and planted tanks. U just know when it feels right!💜🐟

[@peasandhapsforever110]

Great video Kaity, I wish had creeks around here that I could go out and catch your fish for free. Let’s go 100 K 🎉

[@Kaityscichlids]

We are certainly very lucky here! And we are slowly getting there :O

[@thenamesfrog85]

You've given me a good idea the go pro and dropping the trap in front of it for my own videos, accidentally helping other fish youtubers haha your one of my favourite aussie fish keepers

[@Kaityscichlids]

Hahaha, that's awesome! I'm always doing the same when I watch others videos 🤣

[@thenamesfrog85]

@Kaityscichlids haha yeah, it's a good way to learn more, I just redid my animal corner in my room today, it's looking good as (atleast I hope so lol)

[@stevmstng5165]

Nice

[@marknewman3360]

Vegemite looks so unappealing. LOL. Great video. Nice photography.

[@AndrewFishman]

Vegemite is so good. Best toast spread in the morning.Or evening. Or any time between. Also great in sauces and other cooking.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you! And LOL, it definitely isn't the nicest colour haha. It's also definitely an acquired taste

[@crossfire2204]

great video. Thx an best greats from germany.

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you :)

[@Tanapseudes]

You come from the land down under and gave the fish a vegemite sandwich. LOL

[@BlackshacksBushcraft]

Awesome. Well done with the drone. I have an older Mavic Mini which needs a phone attached to see anything. The app needs to be updated before I use it again though. Who knows when that will be though, I just had a total hip replacement so it will possibly be up to 3 months before I can throw on a backpack and go hiking again. Car camping could be sooner though. I still haven't built the above ground pond I wanted but I have the pump and filter for it. Anyway, great video as usual, love your work. 😃

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you so much :) I think that older Mavic Mini is the one I used to have too - still a really good drone! I hope that you have a strong recovery and can get moving again soon! And hopefully not too long until you'll be able to get your pond built too

Hi KC. Unique upload. Only suggestion for the next one would be the use of a specimen container for better viewing of each species. Great work!

Thank you!! I'm definitely going to do that next time :)

Hi from the U.S. I love rainbowfish and they can be very hard to come by and expensive in stores here. I'm so jealous you can just walk into a creek and find them 🙂

[@Kaityscichlids]

We are certainly very lucky here!

[@stephenpearce5462]

NICE VIDEO

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you :)

[@thebloodyenglish6620]

Might also be worth bringing a tub/tray that can fit the bottom part of the trap nets with you in the future. That way you can fill them with water and keep the trap in the water when inspecting fish without having to go back and forth from the river. Obviously I know they're fine, as you know as long as they stay damp fish can be out of the water for a surprising amount of time. But visually it looks better for people who are new to fish, plus I'm sure it's more comfortable for the fish too 😅

[@Kaityscichlids]

Yes I totally agree!! It's funny how you just get desensitised to things overtime, so it's always a good reminder to think see it from other peoples' perspectives. I think I'll definitely do that next time!

[@roohollahyeylaghiashrafi7095]

Thanks for sharing! Have recently discovered your channel and we're looking to step up into the 6ft tank range. Not sure if you've covered it already but would you be able to share where you got your tanks from? they look great!

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!! My tanks are Waterbox tanks, I've got the Clearpro 7225 with the black cabinet, and the Peninsula 7225 with the white cabinet. I got the Clearpro from Arcy Aquariums on the Gold Coast (who ordered it from the US), and then the other one I was lucky enough to find secondhand on Gumtree :)

[@Kaityscichlids]

Most definitely!!

[@davidhart4789]

Very nice video. Also the drone footage was nice. I have always heard the word vegimite (spelling probably wrong). Just what is it made of and used for?

[@Kaityscichlids]

Thank you!! Vegemite is a type of spread here that we put on bread. It's very, very salty tasting and a lot of people don't like it when they first try it. It's quite popular here though lol

Is that the crossing near KSHS? Pretty sure my biology class would head down there to gather data for assignments and such
