    Hi eveyone.

    hey, i'm from whangarei also. what fish you keeping?
  6. I was browsing the metriclima species in the register & came accross these. anyone seen one of these in person? http://www.cichlid-forum.com/profiles/s ... hp?id=1715
  7. i have two fluros on my 1000mm tank & they work fine. they are the plant growth tubes but weren't overly sucessful when it was a planted tank.
  8. as you are not having plants it does not matter what lighting you use. you just need as much lighting as it takes to see them.
  9. go to a glass merchant, if they have an oven they will be able to sort it.
  10. i used an existing filter to "seed" my new tank & the water when doing a water change on the existing tank & it worked perfectly, third day stocking started.
  11. petplanet.co.nz i have used him for my filters & other bits & pieces, can highly recommend.
  12. wow, i would've thought two of them was a minimum.
  13. africans electric yellows red zebras baenschi peacocks
  14. our water in onerahi is the same, ph 7.6+ which is great for my africans!
  15. i thought someone would have asked by now. they go like this ......... 1 - engagement ring 2 - wedding ring then its the suffer ring! :lol:
  16. there are frozen, may want a chilly bin. has the pet shop up there closed? I treid to find it last week & it had gone from where it was.
  17. i separated him so he didn't have to fight for the food. I get my food from the cameron st pet store.
  18. there are many ways of lowering it but i wouldn't be to worried about it. in this case i would add driftwood & i think it would lower it to around 7.2 or so. the fish will be fine in that, my community with angels, tetras was at 7.4 & they did very well for the year or so i had them.
  19. it should stick once it is submersed in the water.
  20. it is best to do it with driftwood or similar, not a good idea to use PH down products.
  21. congrats, has anyone told you about the three rings of marriage?
  22. i has this & mine survived. I put him in his own 18" tank & fed him heaps of bloodworms. Had him in there for about a month & he is back in the main tank now thriving.
  23. interesting, as i said i saw mine crush a snail at the same time as the "click".
  24. do they crush them with spines?? i have seen them pick up a snail, "crack" then parts of the snail came back out broken up.
