Hey folks, here's a short clip feeding my pet Jack and Jungle Perch. Jack is about 45cm now, will soon be looking at extending the pond!

Awesome
Thats great. Hows the speed when the jack hits the first prawn and then straight back to cover... no wonder they are so hard to stop when they hit a lure and head for structure.

Thanks guys, fun to sit by
Thanks guys, fun to sit by the pond with a beer in the arvo watching their antics. Pond is about 2500 litres, running a 6000lph pump through a bio-filter consisting of a 44gal drum full of trawler-mesh. Planning on doubling the pond size soon but it's a bit of a project!

where are you located
Just thinking about water temp.
If in Perth area do you have to heat the water in winter or are they OK??
