I live very close to that swamp and it is filled with crocodiles. I went there 3 weeks ago and seen 3 in hald f an hour!!

[@casadelosotte]

Crocs do not like Dutch meat,, hahaha

[@NienkeJoe]

@@casadelosotte , I wish. I've been bitten by one a long time ago. In The Netherlands even! So they do like me 🤣

[@yudhia.w.7835]

Is close Asia, that's why you get wild Betta...

[@karinneeskens]

@@NienkeJoe Where did you get bitten in the Netherlands lol. Afaik there are no crocs in the Netherlands. At least not in the wild that is.

[@NienkeJoe]

@@karinneeskens, in a reptile center I used to work in. As a biologist I am fully aware there are no wild crocodiles in the Netherlands. But I never claimed it was a wild one 🙃

[@NYGOLD]

Most people see you as a fish keeper/breeder, your actually a film maker. Absolute brilliant job on this!!!!

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thank you!

[@esmegib]

@@maruiacancercme subbing for u

[@PhoenixWA80]

Congratulations!! I can't imagine how rewarding it is to have fished up your fish and then successfully bred them!! Brilliant!

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks so much!

[@Atang98]

Pseudomugils are some of my favourite fishes! Love it when the males display their finnage

[@sunlounger29]

Such a beautiful fish species! Thanks for taking us with you on your trips!

[@BadlydrawnBen]

In today's Lesson we are going to teach you how to win a Darwin award in Cairns 😂 this is definitely my favourite fishkeeping Chanel

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Hahahahaha

[@klausoxen6597]

😅Hahaha😅...& same👍

[@coleossal2544]

There will 100% be a crocodile there. No doubt at all. Hymenachne grass is the clue.

[@Chompchompyerded]

Please do take us on more adventures! I'm not from Australia, and the scenery alone is enough to make me wish I were there. It also makes me want more of these kind of videos. Congratulations on catching the fish you wanted. They can only be described as beautiful. If they were available around here, I'd surely buy some and dedicate a tank to them. Encore!

[@vasili1207]

yeah i agree, i was looking on moving to Oz but after i seen what they did to there own people the last few years.... i will appreciate oz beauty from afar

[@emberframe6994]

[@ConnorReilly35]

LOVE the native fish videos! I'm in the process of setting up a tank for North American natives right now (mountain redbelly dace, saffron shiners, central stonerollers, tangerine darters, etc.) so I love seeing similar content from Australia :)

[@vincentmah3906]

Like the story telling vibe! It's almost like a documentary. Keep the good work up!

[@davidshoard3271]

Just started keeping these, great to see their natural habitat. Great fish!

[@muhammadidham9093]

Beautiful fish

[@NienkeJoe]

These fish are so pretty. I have to look into them a bit more and see if they are available in Europe. Thanks for taking good care of them!

[@Abilly1r]

My favourite fish in the hobby! Top video mate!

[@tannerbroadwell5488]

next time you do this i would suggest using a good pair of polarized sun glasses. those will really help you see through the glare on the surface of the water

[@johncameron4194]

Very cute fish

[@matman429]

So much fun exploring love it.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

It's the best

[@rabbibadhon07]

do this type of wild fishing, we enjoing it.

[@chriscyr4982]

what an awesome species !!! Congratulations

[@Rich77UK]

I went (rod and reel) fishing in Kakadu once. It was an after thought at the end of a boat trip and right at the end of the wet. So I understand when you say the amount water scattered the fish! We saw a Croc, frog and not a lot else waterline wise. Lots of insects and stunning birds though. God what a beautiful part of the world.

[@macawclaw8940]

Lovely! If you ever sell some of the babies I will buy 🎉😊

[@trexgamer73]

Great video!

[@JamisDuanne]

Instantly subscribed. Great video!

[@dayankkumarasinghe]

One of the coolest uploads mate

[@KP_11210]

The Fish look so beautiful 🤩 ! I wish I had them.

[@safarijoe5677]

I have some of these guys in my tank, they are such gorgeous fish and look amazing with pogostemon stellatus. They’re pretty easy to breed too, just keep floaters and have dense foliage!

[@Nanofiskdk]

So cool video!❤️❤️❤️

[@TheLegend-rb7mm]

Great vid. I have these and they are so cool and unique

[@mealee3694]

They're beautiful!

[@areallydepressedfish5201]

It would be AMAZING to see these in America some day

[@NatureDerek]

I like your adventure videos! keep living that best life my man!

[@2aSprite]

I've caught most species in Australia and a few in PNG using nets similar to the "Trap" shown in your video....much easier and safer than nets on poles. The secret is not to worry about "Bait." in the net itself. If you see fish you can catch them. Lower net into water....fresh white bread is the best bait. Roll small bits of bread into a ball of dough...then flatter it. Throw it into water so it will slowly sink into net. the sinking dough will attract fish. keep repeating every 20/30 seconds.After a while more and more fish will be attracted, and eventually there will be a bit of a feeding frenzy. When you see this pull the net quickly out of the water. Repeat till you have fish you are after. Gudgeons tend to take longer to be attracted than Rainbows. They don't tend to eat the bread, they just get attracted to the vibration of it hitting the water and follow other fish attacking it as it sinks. Give it a go....especially if you are in croc country!! I live in Brisbane...Happy to demonstrate at any local trip you take

[@DanishnSonic]

They are so beautiful, I would love for you to make a colony tank of em. Then update them once in a while.

[@amandatuner4677]

I’ve been waiting for this video to come! Hello from the Atherton tablelands ! I saw some info from Lenert on one of our local FB groups

[@cody.nature]

[@brianmarshall1762]

Im looking at taking the Mrs across the Tasman to Cairns next year. Don’t think I’d get away with dragging her through a swamp looking for fish somehow 😂. Well done Nic 👍🏻

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Great video Nick! it was so good to see someone else sweating it out on those tracks, you couldn't of picked a worse time of the year to go there, but I already told you that 🤣 I've never seen so much water there, winter is the best and you find a lot more in small puddles, still a awesome adventure for you and I was happy you got some to breed, that's all anyone ever needs 🙂

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Next time!
