  1. Reminds me of Muldoon not being concerned about emigration to Australia as it raised the IQ in both countries.
  2. Am I correct in thinking that rickettsia are present in the gut of insects and assist in the digestion of cellulose? If so I wonder What they are doing in a whitespot.
  3. Would also be interesting to see what happens if antibiotics could be used to kill the bacteria.
  4. I think it is some of the fancy morphs that people might like. Even if that was approved I think it would be a few years down the track before we see any.
  5. You still need your experts to come up with the required information to dot the Is and cross the Ts. They are bureaucrats so they only believe the experts. Judges believe lawyers (even if they are lying through their teeth) and the IRD believe accountants (even if they are lying through their teeth) because they both use a disclaimer "I am informed" You need an expert who can tell them what they want to hear in the way that they would like to hear it. Don't fight the system, best to use it. At the very least it may finally determine the status of leps since they are here already and it seems impossible at the moment to get a written answer from Maf. Heidi, I am not suggesting you have or would lie through your teeth and I have a lot of respect for your knowledge and offer of help. I am sure any expert help would be much apreciated by NZ's lep lovers. I wonder if it is possible to find out who made the application using the freedom of information Act.
  6. Some plants prefer a higher pH that comes from using sand with a small amount of shell in it.
  7. Pretty agro to all the other birds aren't they? Too cold for them down here which is a good thing.
  8. Forget the undies with pockets---it has been done (and so has the perp).
  9. Or they have yet to find out what is involved.
  10. I would bet a bob to a proverbial that if the BN do not have babies they have at least been formally introduced.
  11. Ask the shop if they were locally sourced and if they were wild caught they will not be green and golds. Southern bells are allover NZ. green and golds like it warmer and arein the top half of ther North Island. Whistlers prefer it cooler and are everywhere the green and golds are not.
  12. Green and golds will not survive outside other than the top of the North Island.
  13. Well said ya all. May it be a great xmas and new year for you and yours.
  14. The cause is kidney failure from any number of sources. The cotton wool is probably mouth fungus which is actually a bacteria and needs to be treated with an atibiotic like furan2.
  15. Having counted votes in Local Body elections a few times I can assure you that if your name is Aabbot you would have a good chance of being elected. People seem to vote for the people they know then tick the remaining numbers required starting at the top. With this in mind I would strongly suspect that many people would vote for something because they were told to.
  16. I have a very accurate digital thermometer that is accurate to 0.1 deg C and it has been worth it. Can calibrate heater thermostats, and incubators and know the temperature is what I want. Haven't own a test kit for pH, or anything else for over 30 years but this has been worth it. Used one at work to test dishwashing machines, fridges and freezers and finally invested in one for myself. Best thing I ever did.
  17. We had a very good dog and no trouble with cats, but the dog died and was replaced by a bit of a retard and the cats took over.
  18. Those ladies sure can bite when they have a headache. Males are not known for their tact and diplomacy but sure are famous for persistence. As soon as my guy grows his claws back he is tempting fate again.
  19. Up to you realy. I used to buy about 7 of a type I wished to breed and grow them up till they paired. Once you know what sex they are you can start moving the partners around. Just think about what offspring you will end up with.
  20. You would be best to work out what you want to achieve like breeding guppies. Gold and blusher will eventually get you to white.
  21. It will be dropsy. The swelling is caused by fluid retention bought about by kidney failure which can be caused by a number of things. It is nearly always incurable. Anabantoides are prone to it.
