foxjxa You may get a little something extra in a box over the next few days :-) Merry Christmas

Hi. Im going to update my Photobucket this Sunday night and list as many killi pics as I can that I have personally taken over the last 3 years. Im also putting up my fishroom photos. Simple and efficent and most importantly, TRANSPORTABLE. Anyone want to buy it? Im taking a break from breeding for a short while in order to tackle new challenges in my life :-) Chat to ya Sunday night no doubt :-) Tim Nuthall

I breed trios in icecrean containers regularly. Ran out of tank space but thats all you need except water and an airstone. Oh and a lid would help of course as most killies are superb jumpers. Tim

Yes he looks older than some. Id put him in an icecream container or small tank and dump half a quarter cup of salt (non iodised ) in it. A drop of meth blue (1 drop per 500ml) and an airstone. Leave him in there for a day and a night and you might see an improvement. Tim

Hi all. Im slowly coming out of hibernation. I guess when the boy goes back to school Im back in full swing. Ive managed to collect masses of eggs over jan though. They are all on peat and it will be a good experiment to see how many hatch. So I picked every day for 25 days from the 2nd. Im going to wait until the 10th. Its funny looking down at hundreds of eyed up eggs after you have taken out all the fungused up ones :-) Tim

My money is on a male nigerianus gold as the females dont have any green and either do the australe golds. Tim

My last lot of Kings was spawned in a mop. I ended up with a 50/50 split in sex. I would say that a combination in temp and Ph made the difference in your case. Tim

Hi Stella, I use peat alot to spawn alot of my killies. I couldnt give you a scientific explanation however my killies seem to do alot better with peat in their tanks. They can go longer with out water changes. I will be watching this thread to view other replies :-) Tim

Im thinking I help organise a login of her own. :-)

Im keeping in touch with Rose and was speaking with her yesterday. She was in good spirits. I will be heading over Friday week to clean out more of Alans tanks and told her that I will also show her how to log on to the site. i think it was a matter of her not having passwords etc etc. Tim

Heres one, others to come

I can help with pretty much any female killies available in NZ at present. Cheers Tim

Alan was my best friend. He worked hard right up to the end, breeding and careing for his fish and fullfiling his duty as the NZKA president with drive and passion. He was a mentor to me and many others who have been bitten by the killi keeping bug. I will miss you mate. Who's going to kick my butt now when it comes to getting the newsletter out on time? My thoughts are with his family and everyone who knew him. Tim
