We have lots of fissidens in NZ. Are we allowed to have Fissidens berteroi in our tanks or will DOC pay you a visit?

The best bet to have a Red Tux offpring is with the fluoro/neon blue tux female, you will get good red tux as well as neon blue tux.
The tux girl with plain tail will give you red tux as well but not as good as with the neon blue, the others will give you a dull red tux, anyways as what SamH says,there is no harm in trying them all.
You mentioned that you wanted big tail fin, the only one that will give good big tail in the first generation is the female with the widest tail, so choose that one whichever it is.
Depending on how bent he is, he might not be able to do the job. Is he bent down because the tail is heavy or does he have a crooked spine?

what sort of plants ceasarz?
Secret
, no actually some marginal orchids of the genus Disa. I am now inquiring about bringing in some tissue cultured aquatic plants in flasks from Tropica so I can propagate them in my lab. -
Is there anybody importing aquarium plants at the moment? All the people down here who used to import plants flagged the idea a long time ago.
I have been actively legally importing plants and it is very easy as long as you follow MAF's strict rules. But these plants would never harbour hitchhikers because they were cultured in the lab.
Sorry guys no shrimp eggs.
-
My guess is that most of those plants would not be very suitable for the average aquarium in NZ.
Yep you got it right alan, I participated in NIWA's trial and the only ones left are Glosso elatinoides and the ranunculus. All the rest died out. These plants could be further selected by subjecting several accesions of the same species from different sites and subjecting them to average NZ aquarium conditions and see which variety survives.

I have miniature marginal orchids and epiphyte orchids if you want some. I would also recommend miniature bromeliads of the Tillandsia family. Also small leaf pelleas will be good as marginals. Miniature peace lilies(Spathiphyllum), small ferns, carnivorous plants, miniature trailing african violets( I have some), mini hosta, and anything that can take high humidity.

Awesome news Hans, let me know when you want to sell some
Me too please!
-
I have a copy, but where are you from? Please put your location on your profile.

Ohhh!! :oops:
Yes Tracy,
What Hitchi wants is the same guppy you wanted from me.
but females.Cesar
Hi Hitchi,
Here's a picture, this one looks ugly but shows you the darker swordtail markings which means she is carrying the swordtail gene.
-
I have some but they are from the wild strain.

Vollrot translates to Full Red in english. I have seen it in Sydney but havent seen one in NZ, some Flamingo strain is close enough.
-
Well, ive just come back from OZ and the cherry shrimps there costs $50 each so it would be actually attractive for an importer to get them in from a cheap source and sell them here somewhere at that price.
-
I can supply you some orchids, both aerial (like phalaenopsis) and some dwarf boggy ones (try googling disa orchids) I got heaps. FREE

.....oooooooooooooooooooooooo!
That would sure eat a lot of food!
Oooooooooo! That is a lot of food! Yummy!!!!

Blue Note.
Your chook is actually a blue grey not a splash.
-
Can you take a photo of the leaf blade, looks like a banana plant shoot grown emersed.
-
What sort of Crypts??
Dont know, that's why Im giving them away and because I bought some wendtii tropica and will replace them with these
-
Ive got some spare crypts from a tank I just recently cleaned. Pm me if you want them.
-
Yep, definitely.
Most occurences are females changing to males, these are called XX males and is a tool used by Asian breeders to produce all female guppy offspring. This phenomenon, as Simian has pointed out, occurs in female only groups.
Males changing to females are usually sterile and also a technique used by Asian breeders so that you cannot have any offspring from the good stock that you just bought so eliminates competition.
Another technique they use to change guppy sex is subjecting them to hormones of the opposite sex, male introduced to female hormones and females introduced to male hormones.
Our aquarium fish population for trade is not big enough for this kinds of tricks and hopefully it will never come to this.

Hi,
All species of Lagenandra are allowed in NZ according to MAF Biosecurity Index.
I believe Lagenandra thwaitessii and ovata are in NZ. I'll keep an eye for them.
Cheers,
Cesar

Thanks guys, I have been feeding them on aquaone and shortly after feeding they flash for about 10 minutes then behave normally.
-
I got two bunches of cuttings today, pm me with your address if you want them.
-
is this a young lyretail? can't quite see the shape/pattern of his tail but I believe it is.. it's the one I took back to petshop.
Bikbok,
Sorry your one is not a lyretail, the ones on the thread's first photos are.
This one is a lyretail: the tail looks like a lyre or a harp

Hi,
I went to market today and the woman said she wont be selling until spring. It is called "ngo om"in vietnamese.
what female would I need to put with a red tux male
in Livebearers

He is okey to use as a breeder then, he is like that due to his large tail, try choosing the female with the thickest peduncle so that the next generation is strong enough to carry the tail horizontally and not get dragged by it which results in this kind of bent spine.
