It is very easy to overfeed with egg yolk if you are new to it so brine shrimp nuplii are a lot safer. They are big enough to start straight onto it.

I have not raised axies but have pretty good success with fire bellies using brine shrimp nuplii. Daphnia may be too large. Can move to grindles, baby whiteworms and daphnia when they get bigger. They need constant food or they eat each other.

I use Hydrocotyle leucocephala as it is easy for them to bend around the egg as they lay them. It is probably growing in your back lawn. Mine came from the next door neighbour's garden. When they have laid you pick off all the folded leaves and wait for them to hatch.

Well done Grant.

As stated L. aurea. Has the gold stripe along the side---hence the name. and a smooth back whereas the southern bells have a warty back and no stripe. And as advised they will hunt whistlers in the wild. Don't forget that they are are only found in the wild in the upper north Island so will not survive outside down here. I will buy it off you to save your whistlers if you wish.

They love the high pressure weather systems.

Fine netting of a similar type will work and keep granny happier as well. You can do the same thing with Java Moss or Riccia but the latter needs pretty good light.

If you granny uses a walker you could trip her up and pinch her hairnet coss that will work as well.

If you feed in and out of the water they have a choice but if you only feed on the land they have no inclination to go into the water. If you feed in the water they have to go in the water or starve.

I hatched 8/8 chinese fb eggs sent in the post and they have been doing well since. Feed brineshrimp nuplii to both as it is better food value and you need to feed them well or they will feed on each other and newts don't grow the bits back like axies. When they morph start feeding them on the land rather than in the water.

Furan 2 will get rid of it. Siphon off as much as you can then treat and siphon off again a few days later.

Could be a bit early yet.

You can have as much light as you want, you just need the right type (there are many ideas on that) and the right amount of time for them to be on. Light towards the blue end makes plants more compact.

Your lawyer would be costing way more than $130. Most would want that much for the piece of paper to write the letter on.

Plants need light so if you hardly have had the lights on they will not be having a good day.

Bob Ward at Redwood Aquatics grows a number of members of that family emersed but I think with natural and artificial light. Might be worth an enquiry or a visit.

I have never had any luck growing Anubias emersed.The humidity would have to be very high and the plants you buy are normally grown submersed so would have to be converted. If you started submersed and let it grow out of the water you might get away with it but it would take a long time.

The conflict can be in getting enough light to get plants to grow but not too much that upsets your reptiles. I grow Hydrocotyle leucocephala and verticillata as well as miniature figs with my Japanese fire bellies. The light is quite weak and other plants don't seem to like it much. Java and xmas moss grow well in the water.

Are you interested in buying the Auckland harbour bridge? You will be able to fly what ever flag you like if you buy it from me.

All members please don't forget to Email Erica with your preferences for President and Vice President by the end of today so the delegates can ascertain your preferences and pass on their proxy votes in time for the meeting on 29 August as we will not be attending. Many thanks Alan

Where could you go shopping at 1000 metres?

PP = potasium permangenate

More importantly---Did you get the lotto numbers or does that have to be tea leaves.

I think the people that need to pull their head in are those that think any form of smacking is not violence. If it is not legal to do it to your neighbour how can you kid yourself it is not violence. At least the law change has stopped it being legal to use a horse wip or a 4 by 2 and I suppose that is a start for those that think smacking is closely related to kissing.

I was smacked with a ruler every time I picked up a pen to write with my left hand. I was beaten with a copper stick until one day it broke. I have had hairbrushes broken on my backside by my mother and my head smashed into my brothers for argueing and a headache for the rest of the day, all of these things on many occasions. I have had 6 strokes with the cane many times and strapped on the hand with a leather strap at primary school and I have spent the best part of my life trying to overcome the damage caused by it. That is how I know it does not work and I vowed to break the cycle (and that does work). It is only in the last few years that I have been able to forgive and stop hating my parents. I remember sitting with my father as he was dying and wishing I didn't hate him so much for being a bully and only giving up the hidings when I was training at martial arts and big enough to give it back.
