The last one is a crypt as you know and the first is Rotala rotundifolia

You hungry little carnavore you

It propagates vegetatively by forming small bulbs and plants on the flower stalk.

It would be A. undulatus going by the characteristic twist in the leaf stalk. Some people think it is a hybrid with natans but I am not so sure.

I was assuming the smaller rounded leafed plant rather than the taller one. If it is all one plant it is an aponogeton

I take that you are talking about the smaller plant with the round leaves. Banana plants don't normally have much of a bulb unless it is a very rich media. I have only grown plantletts from cut off floating leaves so am not sure if they will grow from the submersed growth. Looks like a young banana plant to me.

Give her all the food she wants to eat, particulrly live insects.

You can oil it to bring out the colour then protect it with polyeurathane ( either glossy or matte). There are a number of oils and waxes available but most finishes have a tendancy to to leave water marks if splashed.

Agree also

Chloromyceton is a tradename for chloramphenicol which you would be hard pressed to get a doctor or vet to prescribe because they try to reserve it as a sure fired cure for cholera and they don't want to develop resistance. Piscene tuberculosis is zoonotic (can be transmitted to humans) and there have been a few cases down here (mainly people working in fish quarantine facilities). It is usually contracted through cuts or abrasions and is the main reason why full length gloves are required by Maf during fish quarantine. It can vary in its severity and I have been told that sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. Salmonellosis is spread by the faecal/oral route and needs to be ingested. It is less virilent than some other dysentary causing diseases like shigellosis (bacillary dysentary)

In about 40 years I have never seen red spots all over a fish so I wouild suggest the questioner was more selective about what they drank

I'll bet you would just looooove to change your signature now.

American flags will go prettycold but I am not sure what they would be comfortable at. They are supposed to be very good at eating algae. The best thing is that they are killies (not to be confused with killers)

They seem to survive all over NZ whereas the others are more limited.

The last pic has a bit of emersed growth on it.

It must have good light going by the way the L. arcuata is growing (and converted from emersed as well by the look of it).

Not labomba or cabomba, I will stick with ambulia in good light. I agree with the leaf shape in first pick but cabomba is a much darker green.

A bit hard to tell but looks more like ambulia to me.

Builders work in mm and dressmakers work in cm.

Have you got any of that bleach left over?

Start them off young.

The yellow line along the side is continuous on green and golds and broken on southern bells.

I think they have good days and not so good days as we do. Could be sloughing.

Mine are inside but a bit weird this year. She usually lays 8 eggs at a time. Fist lot was 3 and second lot was 6 and the eggs are all larger than usual.

You can get a bit of an idea from where they come from. Anywhere south of the middle of the North Island they wont be green and golds. Top of the north they won't be whistlers. Southern bells could be from anywhere. If they are natives you could be asking from a position of free board and lodging.
