Feeding Barcoo Grunter

[Rainbow_fish]

its time to buy more food from my barcoo. I have been feeding him bait prawns but would like to try something different. Should i just use dried pellets or would fresh meat like beef heart or liver be better?

Can I ask where you bought it from? I've been trying to locate some natives but the only choices seem to be paying $30 plus per fish, or buying a hundred at 30c each.

mate, where are you looking lol, every good fish store should stock rainbows and gudgeons and alot these days stock larger natives such as cod, grunter, perch etc, i got mine for $5.50 from my local lfs, just ask then should be able to get some in for you.

I tried ordering a perch from my store.

The fish that turned up was without a doubt a silvery coloured Koi, kinda gave up after that one LOL.
