Nice, healthy and strong coloured parents! Offspring hopefully will have that strong colouration too. But like said before, don't be disappointed if they don't make it, you just keep at it and they will get better at looking after them hopefully...

HAH! had the same thing when I had a massive Mohawk (~40cm tall, which doesn't sound much, but when it hair sticking off your head, it looks HUGE). Add that to the fact I'm not exactly a small bloke, and it had older people crossing the street... but, like you, I'm probably one of the nicer people around (at least, I like to think so...) Anyway, I used to play Reps for Gauteng, South Africa. Not that I'm chirpy... well... that too... but yea, Cricket the sport more than the Insect...

progress report?

Spam has to be cooked proper... I like it "minced up" (you chop it up in the pan while your cooking this way), cooked in a pan with chutney, you have to leave it to caramelise, then chip it off the bottom with the spatula and let it cook/caramelise again. Stir through rice. (fried rice is nicer) Serve with more chutney. V.Good "bush-food" Can weighs near nothing, heaps of protein, and carbos from the rice, quick as to cook up too :thup:

I have eaten rediculous amounts of various southern african game bucks, usually as biltong, but some in stews/roasted. Warthog, giraffe, both as stew. Guinea fowl, roasted on a fire like chicken, tasted very much like chicken. Hippopotamus done the same way, though was quite young and didn't appreciate it as much as i probably would have if i was older. Various insects, termites, Mupane worms. Etc... Yeah, used to make a habit of trying as many odd foods as possible, have slowed down lately, but I still won't say no to damn near anything... There's probably more that I've forgotten...

:thup: Go W/C's, go! yea, angels can be little pains when it gets to "that time" of the season... just make sure that you have plenty of plants and hiding spaces, anything that will partially block "line of sight" will help ease aggression. Which is why I have a man-cave, same concept works with SWMBO :rotf:

Yea, I didn't think I saw any of that go in... But i couldn't read the writing, and had this fella in my head from ages ago...

The workmanship in that is amazing! However, I wish I could speak/read Spanish? is it? or Portugese? lol can't tell if its just running on compressed air or if it is actually an internal combustion? I'm leaning toward compressed air, but still, amazing!

Reason behind the inverted bottle is the conical shape means that you dont get "dead-spots". Light isn't neccessary, but! put a light to the side/bottom/wherever you want em, and the Artemia will follow it, leaving the rest of teh bottle unpopulated, and egg-casing removal a sinch... Easiest way that I found, cut holes slightly smaller than diameter of the bottle in some core-flute (real-estate signs), fold to a box shape, give yourself room underneath to play around with, also means that you can drip-feed through your air-line when you are not using it for air...

I would say swim bladder too, but lets get test results first...

!drool: I think we need a dedicated "Food thread"... lol

They taste alright,can be a bit "muddy", but the flesh is delicate, and tastes pretty damn good on the BBQ flapping around in some butter... god dammit, I'm hungry... :slfg:

3V "battery" airpump... What voltage are the little solar garden light units? could hack a couple of those up....

:thup:

+ regular W/C's...
