Probably tilapia at the moment, all the waterways have overflowed this week.

The tilapias are certainly going to use all the flooding to spread further.

In Brisbane it's unlikely to be an estuary perch as they are a southern species.

I've caught a few with red fin tips, and black ones, and blue ones, and grey ones and even a great big white one !
They come in a wide range of colours to suit every pallete.
