    ive had copepod's in various tanks in the past and never knew what they were

    just sounds like it got a little air in the system. if we are talking of a canister filter? they often do that after a power cut, most of the time they can flush it out and shes all good. When they get older and or just sometimes too much air gets in they struggle to or just dont start. put hose or internal on intake of canister, flush the air out turn canister on and should go.

    weird, i isolated those two last night. this morning there is a little fly in there which must have come from one of those cocoon things.

    thought it was a bit odd, maybe theyve mummified some pinhead crickets. :lol:
  5. Insect Direct
    yes please , dont think Ive ever seen the blue ones in the flesh. Do you know if the above are eggs? I thought they would lay smaller individual eggs, not make a cocoon type thing and protect it as they appear to be doing. One has been holding onto that sack for days now.

    just found 2 huhu beetles, thought theyd be ok in the same container, but not so, they're nutters
  8. Insect Direct
    makes sense i suppose probably better off chucking them on a moist gutload

    another question re maggots If they cant eat solids.... Why do people say put wild caught in bran to cleanse them? Ive tried and they dont seem to eat any of it, just pupate or die. breed them in a moist substrate (like bran) and same thing they seem to suck all the goodness/moisture but not really eat the solids... maggot myth busters 8)

    curious (now you see me) shock from camera flash (now you still see me :roll:, atleast they try :lol: ) who said albinos lost their camouflage (this one likes the only yellow leaf available to it)

    sounds like the rat tailed maggot. what sort of grease? Landcare research quote "Larvae are rat tailed maggots which live in liquid containing rotting plants or animals" think this is what they are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRcbyqNyJZM Only time ive seen the above here was when i had a trough full of rotting grass and it stunk. (grass infusoria)

  16. Insect Direct
    that one i do know http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/resea ... ?Bu_Id=229 pretty cool, seen a maggot here but never a fly. $20 each aint bad :lol:
  17. Insect Direct
    Maggot free lol I bet its tiring. Cant really offer permanent homes here atm, but if you hear of any up my way that need a little tlc before finding new digs let us know. Sorry cant offer more help at present
  18. Insect Direct
    similar thought crossed my mind. that maybe true and i could be wrong on this, but i remember reading/hearing that some maggots actually produce an enzyme or something that kills living tissue as they eat the existing dead tissue. So they essentially just make the wound bigger and bigger until the animal dies....something along those lines. could be completely wrong.

    Hi everyone

    Insect Direct replied to jn87's topic in Welcome

    Howdy I like the pic.
  20. Insect Direct
    True, was gonna say, Im not sure how someone could let their pet get that bad. Keep up the great work Donna
  21. Insect Direct
    cool, never seen that plant before. some enthusiast is probably going for walks adding plants and feeding the tadpoles. the sort that would take a few photos of the scenery aswel i reckon. :lol:
  22. Insect Direct
    Thats disgusting. Was this some one's pet or?
  23. Insect Direct
    Nice pics man. Whats the pond plant in second to last pic?
  24. Insect Direct
    Ive just run out of data so cant go surfing for pics atm, but i think your right. at closer look 3 looks different from 4 thats for sure.
  25. Insect Direct
