  1. I've read (on guppy designer) that you need to have no fry from her for 6 mths to be sure that she's not storing sperm. It would be quicker to collect 1 batch of fry, sex them at about 3-5 weeks old by removing all that you are sure are females (keep rechecking in case you've made a mistake) and grow your own virgins. - This is what I do.
  2. Just a note: When Stu mentioned "Salt" he was talking about a special type of salt called "Tonic salt" which you get from the pet shop. This is not to be confused with "Table salt" "Rock salt" "Kelp salt" "Red Sea Salt" "Iodised salt" "Epsom salt" or any other type of salt. [somebody else on here will hopefully jump in and explain exactly what "Tonic salt" is chemically. I read it on here somewhere ages ago but forgot.]
  3. Welcome, sounds like many of us here may learn more from yu than we have to teach. Good luck with the studying.
  4. pallets. Live food or frozen?
  5. I think it may also depend on if the trait is caused by a single gene or a combination of genes acting on each other. I know nothing on goldfish genes and can therefore only suggest doing a test cross and keeping good notes on your results. (Make sure to keep the F1 generation apart from the P fish. This will make back-crossing easy. )
  6. I have one BN that likes to hang off of freeze dried Tubifex (sp?) worm cubes as they float around the top of the tank.
  7. You never know, may find another 2
  8. wood is an important part of their diet so iff you don't have any in your tank make sure to feed JBL pleco chips at least once a week as the JBL ones have wood fibers in them.
  9. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [KA does the chick thing and goos over the new babies] They are soooooooo cute when they're that small. So funny when they're getting knocked around by their own yoke sacs.
  10. Was a great night, lots of fish, tanks etc were auctioned off. Those of you who missed it missed out on some bargans. (And my choc/strawberry muffins. ) Hope to see you all at the next meeting. Should be a good one. There will be a talk on goldfish body shapes by Gaye and a talk on Africans by Mekhlaela (and Daffydd).
  11. bottled Bronze Corys or Panda Corys
  12. My LFS use something called a python. It is especially designed for fish-keepers doing exactly what you're doing and works a treat. I'll ask them about it when I see them today.
  13. Fly Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate?
  14. lol wok, most of the regulars always bring finger food. I may bake something depending how motivated I feel tomorrow.
  15. Just a bump to remind ppl to come along tomorow night. (And don't forget to bring a plate. )
  16. I think it's both but I've caught snails in the act.
  17. Bn may have eaten it if it died over night. :-?
  18. It gets some of them but I'm still loosing heaps of WCMM eggs to snails. For an example I was only able to save 6 fish out of the last spawning!!!
  19. I have a snail issue in my WCMM breeding tank and was wondering what cold water snail eater ppl know of. I use clown loaches in my tropical tanks but think it'd be a bit cool in there for them. (Not to mention they'd be just as likely to eat the WCMM eggs as the snails are.)
  20. Auckland BK Wopper Burger with or without cheese
  21. Fresh Coffee mmmmmmmmmmm.... Crusaders or Hurricanes
