Our Fish on Freshwater event was a blast with Guest Speakers from OzFish Cairns and local members of ANGFA FNQ (Australia New Guinea Fishes Association) attending and sharing their amazing knowledge. During our one hour surveys we found Pacific Blue Eye (4) Mouth Almighty (4) Empire Gudgeon (7), and unfortunately some non natives probably released or escapees from aquariums, such as Gambusia (4) and Platys. Oh yes and Tilapia :( On the bright side we also found freshwater prawns, large and small snails, water scorpions, dragonfly nymphs and many many glass shrimps. The macroinvertebrate session results from downstream are not in yet. Basically Freshwater Creek was brimming with life and now we get onto compiling our data. This was our final event funded from the Australian Government’s Community Environment Program but the good news is that our events will continue with funding from the Qld Department of Environment and Science’s Citizen Science Grant
