8ft Marine Tank with Bream & Snapper

[mekongminh]

Hey just wondering is it possible to keep bream in pure freshwater? Right now I've got them living with goldfish in brackish water. So if I make it 100% fresh will they die?

[utegod]

@mekongminh Slowly change it to fresh and they will be fine.

Can you do a update vid? Im keen to see whats in the tank now, and to see how much the fish have grown

[creedyflyr]

@walker2508

Yep, I'll update the vid soon, My computer has died & a new one is on the way so I'll put up a new vid when I get it all sorted.

You wont notice much difference in the fishes size as Bream are a very slow growing Fish.

lol do you catch the crayfish and crap yourself? I like these, wish they were in the US

[creedyflyr]

@NorthwoodTimberwolve

Yep, I catch them just down the street at low tide.

thats like the ezact thing my tank is gonna look like. im getting one that size. but im going to put flathead and stuff

[creedyflyr]

@jetmea

Cool, they are a piece of piss to look after if you get the right gear in the 1st place.

Dont let anyone tell you Salt Water Tanks are hard to look after, if you dont want any Fancy Pants Gay looking Corals & Sissy little Nemo lookalkes, these tanks need bugger all maintenance. Just change some water every now & then & your sweet.

I had some Flathead but I ate them.

@creedyflyr hi i was just wondering if u caught those breams ur self ur did u buy them

and also what do u feed them

[creedyflyr]

@thyp888

Yep, Caught them myself. I feed them cheap frozen prawns. 

[thyp888]

@creedyflyr awsome i went fishing 2 day and caught 3 breams and 2 octopuses(small)

i was thinking of keeping them as pets

PS. would i need separate tank for them or is it alright if i put them in 1?

[creedyflyr]

@thyp888

Putting them in the same tank wont be a problem but good luck keeping the Occy's in the Tank, as they are expert escape artists.

[rikusda]

i have the same fish but 3 times bigger

[creedyflyr]

@rikusda

Congratulations, You are also 3 times a bigger Dickhead!

[creedyflyr]

Surprisingly its not that hard to look after, I live near the water & fish out of a 5.3m boat most weekends so I take 6 x 15L drums with me to fill once I`m offshore.

It`s not as hard as everyone thinks if you have the right setup to start with.

A good protein skimmer is the key.

[djAstyles]

do you get ur saltwater from the beach??? i live right next to the beach and apparently tht is the best way to keep them healthy, hard work thou aye.

[sexy52637]

can you eat them?

[creedyflyr]

Yep , & I have!!

[sexy52637]

thanks

Hey i was just wondering if you had the tank in brackish first when you converted the bream and then slowley changed it to freshwater??

[creedyflyr]

Yep, Went from full Salt Water to Full Fresh Water by adding a couple of litres of Fresh every couple of days untill the salt is gone.

Good Luck.

[jetmea]

@creedyflyr umm how can snapper go in freshwater?

[creedyflyr]

@jetmea

They cant !, This tank is Full Salt Water,

My old tank was the brackish Tank.

[jetmea]

@creedyflyr o any way i used o have 2 BIG black brim and 2 lil ones then the power whent out for 2 days so the pump stoped working and 3 of them died the one that was left didnt eat and died of starvation :(

[creedyflyr]

Yep, You cant go wrong with live food. Mine now eat Frozen Prawns from the Bait shop & I pump Pink Nippers & crabs once a week for a change.

All Fish were eating from day one. They even eat lures & let me hand feed them!

Good luck.

[jetmea]

how to get bream to eat coase mine wont eat and i live in wa perth so i have black bream and and i dont no wat to feed it [its fresh water] i think i should feed it live prawns or live yabbys or sumthing ya ?

[creedyflyr]

Yep, I`ve sucessfully converted a Bream a few years ago, It changed colour from silver to a really bronze colour.

[gobblesxx]

i think u can change your bream to a freshwater species bit by bit hey
