  1. 30 ltrs will be fine as a qt tank for the treadfins. They are small fish.
  2. Calvus are not allowed in NZ.
  3. Try Clearwater aquarium in Tauranga. They might be able to help you. Get half a dozen and they're not that hard to keep.
  4. What do you hope to achieve by crossing a delta to a ct. Do you have a goal that you aim for or are you just breeding to sell the offspring? You should put your time into breeding pure strain and improving them instead . Just my opinion.
  5. They are in quarantine. Will know when they're out of qt.
  6. You got first priority David!
  7. Are you into flowerhorn now Adrienne?

    Hello

    Welcome to the forum and the world of fish keeping. Might pay to add your location to your profile. Ron
  9. First advice I would give you is to change your location in your profile from NZ to a more specific location so people in and around you can give you better advice. For starting a discus tank : Have a decent size tank to house the number of discus to intend to get. Purchase your discus from a reputable seller preferably juvi or adult if you can afford it. Pick discus that are active, healthy, bright in colour and eating well. Ask if the seller can put some food in to feed them. Stay away from discus that are dull looking, not interested in food or spitting the food back out and hiding in the back. Feed them a variety of good quality food. Maintain a good water change regime of at least 1 water change per week. Cheers, Ron
  10. The height of the glass is about 550mm. Where do you get the 850mm figure from?
  11. lol, just pulling your leg
  12. All you have to do is to send the pair to me and i'll get them breeding lol Ron
  13. That means the importers haven't imported any and it's not available at the moment. Shops get their fish from importer/wholesaler and at the moment they don't have any in stock so shop won't be able to get them. Ron
  14. If i'm not mistaken it's him selling them
  15. Thanks guys! Thought there was something wrong with them.
  16. Found three pieces of thin shell in the tank today. It's like a top layer of the shell being peel off. Is it normal? Cheers, Ron
  17. Very nice build thread. Simple to build yet strong and cost effective. Thank for sharing Ron
  18. Common goldfish = $1.00 Shipping getting the fish to the shop = $$ Shop rent = $$$ Overhead expenses = $$$
  19. For a silver Yes, for an Asian aro is peanuts
  20. For a vieltail yes, for fancy betta No.
  21. Good LED light for plants are not cheap. Cheap led light is a waste of time and only good for looking at your fish.
