Re: On a mission
After doing some research, is it possible we have the blue / nile hybrids - Oreochromis niloticus, Oreochromis aureus and their interspecific hybrid tilapia (♂ O. aureus x ♀ O. niloticus).
Like the ND21 The ND 21 is a hybrid Tilapia cross between:· Female O. nilotica ND-2 Tilapia family line
· Male O. aurea ND-1 Tilapia family line
and not mozambiques at all?

Re: On a mission
Okay guys, I have sent this link with a note from myself to Danni, asking her if she can come onto this site/thread and give us all a bit of understanding of tilapia in SEQld. from Deedi's point of view.
Cheers,
John.

Re: On a mission
I had a 1/2hr chat with her a few months ago when I reported a sighting of them and needed clarification of "in possession" - http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/sho...35#post1346335
Lovely girl and she was happy to discuss the issues. Clarification of what species we have here would be good cause if these aren't mozambiques and not declared noxious and only classed as pests being non natives, i will try one to eat and maybe put a big one in a fishtank (i am joking - wouldn't want to eat them from the water I catch them in and even if not mozams, I want to remove these non natives not possibly contribute to the spread.)

Re: On a mission
I'd say there's some hybrids there. That gold one's a curiosity and looks like it's been scrapping from the state of it's pectoral fin? Where are they coming from? Saw a few similar taken at kurwongbah yesterday

Algae dough would be the better go...................they're primarily vegetarians but also opportunist feeders. I'm gonna try dough with some green food colouring next time I go.
