    Pieman

    dont know who this pieman is but his tank looks amazing. really wish he would talk us thought it PLEASE?
  2. bought the exact one from trademe have PM'd u
  3. newtman its 1.5 X 0.5 X 0.5m which is big but not overly big. did u miss read it and thought it was 1.5 X 5 X 5m cuz i did
  4. now would this be any good for fresh tank? how does the price compare http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=57302494 sorry all new to this Metal halide light business
  5. thanks guys that's the exact info i was looking for
  6. i am a freshy so dont know much about the light u guys use but this to me seems really cheap [there are a few goin] compare to other Metal Halide Light for tank purpose. dont know if it suitable or not. any comments on it? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Business-farmi ... 667768.htm
  7. the whole point for me to hatch BBS is to have small live food wouldn't it be cheaper to buy frozen ones if ur just goin to freeze them anyway?
  8. what does everyone think about this Cheap wave maker business? has anyone tried it? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=56592227
  9. i use the a tea strainer but I know a few people use coffee strainer and stockings. i use a small container with air bubbles pumping in it but most people use the up side down coke bottle method. how does everyone hatch theirs?

    new baby

    WOW that is a monster
  11. yes, that is a bit pricey for "sucky fish" but good deal on breeding oscars though.
  12. where did the auction go? what did i miss anyone saw the picture?
  13. do u mean "oats" WOW i was unaware u were the one that created oats but then again now that u mention it i do taste a bit of goat in my porridge still some part of me is hopping for a merical to see this actually happen emagin the possiabilitys if we could cross them hummmm..... guppy sized discus or better a discus size guppy
  14. cant wait to see the pics anyone seen a blue and red mix colouration on a sword?
  15. good point i was thinking more if the hose is coming from above the tank its sucking the water out at the rate of the pump but if the hose is though a hole at the lower part of the tank all the weight of the water would rush in to the filter system it self causing it to leak or burst. never actually had a tank running like that before so just what i think would happen that's all. no direct attack at u Ira sorry if i offended u :oops:
  16. now that's committed half way reading i thought u were going to take them back then boom!!new 5 footer
  17. totally agree with Ira its not worth the hassle but don't agree with no stress as i am assuming u would have the filter lower than the tank there for a lot of water pressure straight to the filter. i run a Aqua One 1200 on my 5 foot [1500x600x600mm] i know my filter does not have the strongest seal on it and with around 500litre of water pressure it would leak for sure unless ur using a non conventional external filter.
  18. stunning shots on the video. it felt like watching an documentary on sky.
  19. nice one coleman saw them just last weekend and they moved all the gravel to the sides covering them self from the shop. would love to have some too bad they need such big space on their own. i've posted another topic their seem to be someone selling these claiming his is a miniature breed, personally never heard of such a breed anyone know any info on the matter? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 742791.htm
  20. that's what i thought too bad it would be great to have some mini ones to keep in a 3 footer.
  21. i lean my on its side one way then the other that usually gets rid of the air and gets it started.
  22. someone is selling jaguar cichlids of the miniature kind which supposedly only grow to 20-25cm. i've never heard of an dwarf jaguar cichlid breed but seen a full grown one around that size cuz it was stunted in growth, anyone know any info on this? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 742791.htm
  23. has anyone tried this? http://www.mreed.com/fryfoods.shtml or anything else used as a substitution for baby brine shrimp. i personally found there is nothing like BBS but found it annoying to hatch as i only breed fresh water fish and have to strain it before feeding but lately been hatching it using tonic salt and seem to work and i am able to just dump the lot in water and all. [hatch rate seems a lot lower though]
  24. there is a chemical call snail rid or u can use a snail trap. [click on the links below] http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 799855.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 471521.htm the easy way is just getting some skunk loaches and they eat them.
  25. good one how many eggs can u see? keep us up dated
