Not looking good.
The fish from that river include Murray cod, golden perch, trout cod, silver perch, freshwater catfish, bony bream, blackfish, carp, redfin, goldfish, western carp gudgeon, flat-headed gudgeon, Australian smelt, southern pygmy perch, Murray hardyhead, oriental weatherloach, mosquitofish and 3 species of freshwater shrimp.
Of coarse the murray river is also home to several rainbowfish such as the River Murray Rainbowfish - Melanotaenia fluviatilis. _________________ Kept fish since 98 or there abouts but only more recently taking fishkeeping serious. I have experience coldwater community's, ponds tropical community's and subtropical community's. My favourite fish are loaches, danios and devarios. So many many more fish to come and venturing into breeding projects.
