Thank you!
My pleasure that you find our caveman videos useful :)
The eels are really growing! Love seeing the high fin. 😊
The eels appetite has become tremendous. The runt high fin doesn't seem to grow at all.
Murray cod are the most long-lived freshwater native fish in Australia. The oldest Murray cod aged yet was 48 years of age, and the even larger specimens of years past leave little doubt that the species can reach considerably greater ages, of 70 years or more. Murray cod are capable of growing well over 1 m (3.3 ft) in length and the largest on record was over 1.8 m (5.9 ft) and about 113 kg (249 lb) in weight!😯
Thank you. Good to refresh the stats.
@@Fish-Storyso this sounds like a good fish to keep in a tank?
@oliewray8357 plenty of fish sold get near this size. He has multiple huge tanks that are at the very least sufficient for the vast majority of the animal's life.
The issue is actually growing them out to a suitable size to put into the monster tanks.
@@oliewray8357 It's a dream fish to keep in properly sized tank or pond. Yes.
@@zafishguy5166 Thank you. The biggest fish are the oldest and we continue building big tanks for them.
Well the Murray River system in Australia is not tropical …. So worth a try to keep him in cooler conditions
These fish occur in the subtropical (m.b. tropical too?) parts of Australia, all the way up to and including Queensland. Also, the Taiwanese farmer, from whom this fish came, says they keep theirs at 54 to 86 F. It doesn't mean you are wrong. There may be complicating factors, when the cod cannot handle higher temps, that present here with us and absent at the farmer's. But IDK what these factors might be.
Let’s hope this young cod grabs his new adventure with both fins and handles this new adventure better than his kid brother :(
We always hope :)
The cod feeds but in moderation to the prior times. Maybe because of the warmth.
High hopes for this Murray cod! I must say after the first one got sick (even before the loss) I've become much more attached to this species, which would make me even happier to see the survivor doing better in the long run.😄
Also I don't think it's the only fish you should take out of the piraiba and peacock bass and firewood catfish tank. There also seems to be some kind of a small pleco(?) in there, something could try to eat it which would result most likely in mutual deaths.
Let's see if the survivor is alright and shows it by starting to feed in the new, slightly cooler tank. The pleco shouldn't be in danger now, even though its size in some months might make it edible or prey-worthy by the firewood cats. You are probably right, I should take it out preemptively.
I know nothing about cod but my first thought when seeing the video title yesterday was maybe the temp is too high. Are you worried about the sturgeon?

Of course I am worried about the white sturgeon. Temps over mid 70-ies are not natural for them.
Could you have a tank with a sump buried in the ground to keep it cooler?
It's a good idea. We use some geothermal heating/cooling in the 15K sump which is dug about 4 feet in the ground and the 25K which is about 2ft inground. We also have a chiller good enough for a 250gal tank. But the point is that we shouldn't have to because the Taiwanese farmer says they keep theirs at 54 to 86 F.
oh man do you have any of those Thailand - high back - blur iridescent - gaint knifefish ? predatory fins have some right now
We have two 2-footers in the 25K and 2 juvies in the 240g tanks.
Off topic, but at what temperature did you keep your Chinese wels before you isolated it? I found that after removing my heater from my aquarium for the summer (average temperature now around 72F, I think), my wels has mellowed out significantly and now prefers to hide in his hideout rather than cruising around looking for food.
I didn't understand - did your temp increase to72F or drop to 72F?
... The temp in the 1800 gal when we took it out was probably around 80F. In its timeout 240g it's 86F right now. But ours cruised only when food was in the water, regardless of the temps, 72 to 86F. Other than that it stayed in one spot by the back walls in between two large Pterodoras in the 1800g. Now it sits near or in between the concrete hide and I almost never see it move.
@@Fish-Story sorry lol, my temperature dropped to 72. I think before removing the heater it averaged 80F, and my big guy was significantly more active then. Maybe it's just coincidence.
It's a valid observation to remember for the future, even though I saw no such correlation with our specimen, but then the ages and sizes of ours differ, right? May be genders too. The more we know, accumulate, and share, the better off we'd be as keepers of this fish.
You should at least give it it's own tank so it can chill out being in that tank with all those big fish it will hide the whole time
Thank you. It is not about the size of tank mates but their temperament. Super aggressive small tank mates can stress and kill too. In this tank, no one pays any attention to the cod, so it is totally safe from the tank mates. These 2 cod have been with larger tank mates since we got them here and in 6 months there were no problems with tank mates. The reason for the loss of one is unclear but it is not caused by tank mates, that's 100% sure. We also raised 2 of these cod in 2015-2017 for 2 years with a ton of tank mates and those grew to 1.5ft. Unfortunately that didn't end well. I think at higher temps they are more sensitive to an antiparasitic formalin-Malachite Green treatment.
