The Silver Perch is a moderately elongate fish with a small head and small scales. Colouration varies with water conditions. Adults are often silver-grey with darker scale margins but they can be greenish, brown or golden. The belly is white and the median fins are grey. The pelvic fins are usually white.
This species grows to 40 cm in length and 8 kg in weight, however 30 cm and 1.5 kg individuals are more commonly seen.
The Silver Perch is endemic to Australia. It occurs naturally in freshwaters throughout much of the Murray-Darling Drainage of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. It has been introduced into the Lake Eyre Basin and coastal river systems of south-eastern Queensland, New South Wales and south-western Western Australia. It prefers fast-flowing waters but is also known from rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
Supplied size 3-4cm
This package includes 25 fish and has free shipping.

Silvers and Sleepies Review by Ian
Customer Rating The 40mm Silvers (25#)received in Oct are now 150-200mm and growing every day with tank temp at 28C. All in excellent condition. Almost jump out of the tank when feeding!!!
Sleepies (20#) are eating same 2mm pellets as Silvers (and Gold fish) and greet you at the surface when they see you coming! Their 70L tank is 27C.
Give the Sleepies some Blood worms each 2 weeks for a treat.
Silvers will be ready for Easter 2011, hopefully Jades (just ordered) will be ready before the dead of winter, but I will be heating jade tank with Compost coil heater for a while.
Thanks again for your excellent service and healthy Fish. I will always recommend you to Brother (and Sister!!) Aquaponisists.
