Try now Caryl it should be fine now they have changed Yahoo since I've been there last and made it more complex to use

The Marlborough Aquarium club held a very successful pond and tank competition today I would like to thank those responsible for organising the event, also all who entered and those that came along for a look, especially our club members from away Esmay, Leanne and Paula from Ashburton and Tina from Rangioura, its great to see you all. Thanks for taking the time to come up for the day. Check out the photos on the net at http://au.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cbperformance2000/album?.dir=/5d31 It was a cool day(even if one of the members did get lost) 8)

Thanks for you help guys and galls don't know what I would do with out you. Mistery illness now apears to have gone as quick as it came with no trace of anything wrong

No I can't see any holes, there maybe but must be very small the white bits look a little like 1 mill long pieces of white thread poking out

Just over 12 months ago I lost the female of a breeding pair of discus. Since then the remaining male turned black in colour always hid at the back of the tank never coming out not even for food. This fish became very, very thin its fins were always down and really looked as though it should have been put out of its misery. I tried everything I could think of to return this fish to heath, nothing seemed to work so I gave up on it. Still feed it cared for its tank in the usual way. This fish stayed this way for at least a year, why it did not die I do not know. One night about a month ago I entered my fish room for the usual nightly feed and maintenance and was greeted but this discus at the front of the tank, proud as punch and really thinking he was someone special his fins erect and in spawning colours. I could not believe my eyes this fish was eating everything I gave it and looked very healthy. Tonight I entered my fish room again for the nightly routine discus rushing to the front of the tank to greet me and I found 3 white protrusions on the left side of it's head one on the gill plate level with and just behind the eye about half a mill in diameter and about 1 mill in length, the other two higher on the head and smaller the fish is not distressed at all and is still bright and perky. Does anyone have any suggestions on what this may be? :-?

I have found what you have written very interesting.You are obviously very knowledgeable on this subject, please tell us more. I think we should as fish keepers learn more about our Native fish.Caryl maybe Charles could write an article for you to publish in the next Aquarium World

Tell us more-Tank size, requirements, etc I have had an interest in native fish for some time. I too don't have the room or a spare tank at the moment but who nows what may happen.

Some Crypts will do fine in shaded areas of the tank

I breed quite a few Guppys about 6 years ago. I did experiment with temperature, and it did have an effect on sex, but don't remember what temp breed the most of what sex.

Yes egglayers and it doesn't look as thought they have been breed in captivity

Hi Matt Love the pics of the office tank, awsome.Welcome to the NZ fishroom

Very very impressed Caryl!!!!!!! Well done some excellent reading and doesn,t the year book look great

yeah I am counting the dollars already LOL

An update on my babys. All is giong very well, imposible to count how many there are, and all are growing well about 4-5mm long now and busy hunting out food

Awesome I have one about the same size, it only has one severum and a plec in it at the moment, am looking for some more fish to keep them company

Nice pics, what size is the tank?

Things did not go too well with this spawn, but I am pleased to say that they have spawned again on the 24th and have hatched.I have about 50-60 we wrigglers scurying about the bottom of the tank

LOL I think we both need to get out of bed earlier

All is going well with the cory so far another day and I should have some wrigglers. Does any one know where there is a good fleet tyre serviceman looking for a job.

No not really Caryl. If you had experienced the week I have had Caryl the fish club meeting would be the last thing on your mind too. One week before Christmas our serviceman left he was kind enought to train someone else before he left. That person left a month ago that leaves two, me and some young fool who makes Mr Bean look very bright. He took over the servicemans job and was actually doing very well until Monday when he smashed his hand and is now of for three weeks, That leaves one ME to repair cars fit tyres, run the service truck, answer the phone, price tyres, explain why this tyre is better than that tyre, price mechanical repairs order the parts do the job and finish it of with the paper work, fit tractor tyres, fit body kits, sell performance accessories etc etc etc oh did I mention that I am also on call 7 days 24 hence the service truck parked outside my house, the earliest I have had to get up so far is 2am home by 3.30am and back up at 5.45am to get ready for work orgainise the kids for school vacuum the floor, hang out the washing, cook the wife breakfast in bed,make the bed when she gets out of it as well as Melissa's, feed the pets and drop Bern of at work on my way to my work. IM BUGGERED. Sorry I was not at the meeting Caryl it would have gone OK with out me wouldn't it.

Finally after several failed attempts,at last I have coaxed my Corydoras Aeneus into spawning about a hundred eggs scattered on the glass, and so far everything is lookin goood

Awsome fish CM very nice

Hi elembee and welcome to our fish forum Definitely forget the shells even a very small amount of shell will change the PH
