My new 4WD is on its way from Japan. It is plae blue and sliver which Jude said was a bad choice as it wouldn't show up under water :lol:

Mud wrestling for mollies in the swamp well that is deafenily abit of me as some previous molly hunters know. Been in contact with the local doc

Ranger though my good friend natasha grianger and w will beseeing themat the molly hunt just in casei end up mud restling with the locals

Bobbing for Mollies!

Ok.. I have made my booking for a motel room.

Got spare bed if anyone wants to share.

Don't worry, I don't bite.. snore maybe :lol: but not bite

Ahhh, be careful, though, you know what they say about the Cantonese - they will eat anything with legs except a table, and anything with wings except an aeroplane!

Zev.. you forgot one important thing

"If it moves, bets will be placed, if it loses, it will become the next meal" :lol:

Hmmm...

So no fishy races in a bucket then, you guys!

I remember cricket (as in insect) fights in a bucket - but we never got to eat the looser!

These Molly's are not actually a coldwater fish tho, the water they're found in is kept at tropical temps, wouldn't really work for an outdoor tank.

5ft outdoor tank sounds awesome though Wish I had a spare 5 footer lol

Would need to be the inside tank, their natural environment is thermal heated and even being summer I dont think they'd like the night chills. If you get no luck, I've put my hand up, and Paul is going, so there will be definately some offspring going around the reigon Hopefully somebody will hook you up though of course.

9:1 Female to Male ratio is going to make getting a boy tricky *fingers crossed*

hmmm.. wonder how much Mystic is willing to Pay? :roll:

Hi Mystic believe me there are more than enough to go round there are absolutely hundreds if not thousands you will get some even if I have to mail them to you.

There are thousands of them. Catching them is the tricky bit. The water is clear as mud and the mollies are very zippy.

I'm Sure Caryl and Billaney will bring some up when they emerge from the water after Evil and I push them in :lol:

Yeah they'll be like sleeping with the fish

hmm I really want to go now

I'll see what Helen says

Tell her you need to go so we can follow you home

Come to think of it, that might put her off :lol:

haha could bring our MX5 too

hehe....sounds like fun...feel like going as well.

Well it IS fun!

How ever the mollies will not survive outside. We tried them in different locations and they certainly did not like even a heated tank outside!

In fact I think the "Originals" do need something like 30 degrees to "propagate" - then get the fry out and cool it down slowly.

We did not and the few we took did not survive more than 8 months

They just slowly declined and after some months one died, then a month later another etc.

How did your fare Dave?

I can hear a murmurings of a few Wellingtonians.

ther murmuring is getting louder...

.....ROAD TRIP!!!!

I'm Sure Caryl and Billaney will bring some up when they emerge from the water after Evil and I push them in :lol:
