I don't like the idea of breathing insecticide all day myself.

The latter

Nice coloured beard

They are a bit like an uncoloured goldfih with pink/red fins

We have them down here.

They are an unwanted organism and cannot be legally kept. They are also pretty nasty fish and are not as useful at irradicating mossies as often claimed.

How old were the leps?

The missionary escaped but it was the best hangi we have been to in a long time. Had a great day and hope you all did the same.

Saves you building a fence around it.

Thanks for the thought fellas and fellesses. I am a bit busy trying to glue the tank back together at the moment and chasing the CO2 all over the house. Running out of time--still have to find me a french missionary for the hangi we are going to (they are a lot less work as premarinated).

The chimney fell down in the quake and Santa couldn't deliver so anyone who wants to post me a pressie is more than welcome. I will just have to get me a 1500 x 600 x 600 tank in the new year. Got the CO2 bottle, just have to talk to Mrs Ebay and twist the arms at the pet shop for a FX5

It is used commonly to propagate uraguayensis but they need to be pretty mature plants with a well developed rhyzome -usually a few years old. Sometimes you can lose one or both plants and other times you can stimulate them to develop a lot of small plants.Risky when you only have the one. It has the growth characteristics of parviflorus. That would be an interesting hybrid to develop.

Yes. Don't. It is always risky, works with some plants but have never tried it with leopard. Have you had runners off it? When you hybridze these plants you cross pollinate the flowers and grow the seeds. You will get a great variation in the plants that grow so you pick the ones you want. I crossed leopard and ozelot but could not get the seeds to grow so gave some to someone more skilled at it. Some of the resultant plants were coming along nicely when a heater failed and cooked them. It is possible that this plant is from another cross, in which case you could have a nice new plant but unfortunatly it would be of no value if it does not wish to propagate. Tried Barry White?

They look like a tube worm or a UFO.

Have a good one ya all.

If it does I bags the first pup. They do need a lot of light submersed and the emersed shape is even bigger than that by the looks.

Contact the SPCA and make this person feed their pets. Light, CO2 and Ferts

Echinodorus leopard. It is a hybrid with E. horizontalis and another sword I have forgotten the name of. It is like horizontalis, stays small and produces few pups (maybe a couple on a runner). Seems to have dropped off the price lists in many places because it is not as commercial as some others. Ozelot is a hybrid with leopard and something else. Will respond to good light, CO2 and ferts. I have it emersed but still not very productive.

not planaria?

Ra, the sun god--ya reckon?

There is always a risk of picking up creebies like that with live food unless you start with a clean culture and grow them yourself.

Well you will just have to get it closer wont you. That is the best source and a lot cheaper to run eh.

Bad luck Mr Plod. It is actually a multple baby reptile raring thingy. No Iggies for this boy.

I have made no secret of the fact that I like plants.

The uv light should be no more than 300mm from the basking area if possible.
