Not sure what time it'll start but most early avo, depends on how many places we have to see!

So tHEcONCH are you wanting to show your much vaunted tanks? I'm sure a few of us would love to gawk at them :lol: and yes Sapphire our meetings are always held on the first Saturday of the month (unless we have a special event coming up that requires a different date)

I feed them twice a day, first thing in the morning (around 7am) and then when I get home (around 6pm). I have found that if I defrost the shrimp and bloodworms first then the smaller amounts seem to be eaten more than if I leave it in clumps... In the weekends they might get a third feeding if i'm home.... :lol:

Yeah, she spend most of her time crawling around, but at least she's now interested in the frozen mysis shrimp! I was getting quite worried as I really don't want her to starve.. :oops:

Yah! My wee girl is now eating frozen mysis shrimp and bloodworms!!!! Hopefully she'll gain weight now :lol: Just need to get the boys more interested in food! Will be looking for some turkey basters this weekend and hopefully I'll find some!

Hi Everyone This December (Saturday 1st) we are looking at doing a tank crawl of local tanks in Christchurch instead of our usual meeting. If anyone is interested in being involved ie showing their tanks or just coming along! please post here that you are interested or pm me. We will finalise details in the last week of November. :lol:

They all seem to be settling in well. One has taken to doing laps around the top of the tank, then latching onto the top of the return pipe before doing another lap. :lol: The boys seem to be eating the frozen mysis shrimp, which I have been braking up as if I don't do that it tends to get sucked up into the overflow. I will try some daphnia, but I don't have that many and was hoping to increase the amount before I fed them out...but then I can probably get some more off Loopy! Hopefully the wee girl will start eating larger food soon, she seems happy enough hunting, but I just want to make sure she doesn't starve :oops: Thanks Livingart for your help, I might try a baster...where did you get your baster from dj?

DJ I'm feeding both frozen mysis shrimp (which they don't seem to be interested in) and brine shrimp. The wee girl spends most of her time on the bottom looking for live food, and just keeps going past the frozen brine shrimp. Did I see in your photo a feeding dish? How did you train your horses to eat out of it?

Here are more photos http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s83/ ... Seahorses/

Yes, the first one is a female. She's so petite compared to the other two!! What do you feed yours djsurf? Your pic was absolutely gorgeous! I really do love the dark coloured one...both males love to hang on to the outlet pipe and the top of the overflow, which I had to put netting on as one of the ponies managed to get stuck in there and it took me a wee while to get him back out! :-?

Hi DJ! Love the look of your horses!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Welcome!!! :lol:

Thanks Janelle! It will be good to see everyone again! BTW for those that don't know...my seahorse tank is up and running!!! :bounce: :bounce: with three potbelly seahorses!!!

Welcome :lol: This is a great site for info, and everyone is sooo helpful!!!

Hi and welcome to another ChCh person! You'll get heaps of help and info from the people here!!! You're welcome to come to our TT meeting on Saturday http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/november-meeting-of-chch-totally-tanked-vt25542.html

This months meeting will be at my house (Carnkats) on Saturday 3rd which is: 30 Ariki Place, Hei Hei at about 5pm, bring a plate for a shared dinner Look forward to seeing you all then. Everyone is welcome! :lol:

Yeah livingart has been a gem!!! He's been really helpful and has bred some gorgeous ponies

Tank is sitting around 21 C which is at its maximum temp, got to get a chiller, or most likely i'm looking at getting a small fridge and coiling a long tube in there and running it through the sump.

Yeah, not sure what I'm doing wrong, this is the first time I've tried posting pictures, so two out of five isn't bad... And yes it they are plastic plants, just haven't had time to get some real ones, not to mention the tank set up is still fairly new

Well, its been a long process, but my tank is now set up and is currently home to three potbelly seahorses. This is my tank which is 60x45x70cm I have yet to do a background for it, but am undecided on what to do as yet. The light is a 2ft T5. This is my sump set up with a deltec mc500, and about 10Kg Live Rock, and a eheim pump.

Good on you!!! It's great to hear of these stories where people rescue animals from uncaring owners!

Hi I've got a south american cichlid tank with geo suri's, blue acaras and severums, they all get on relatively well, just the odd chasing here and there. I can't keep any plants in the tank as everyone keeps pulling out the plants... :lol: The geos certainly can move the stones around, the front of my tank has heaps of stones, but the the back has hardly any stones just have to move them back occasionally!!!

Great Looking Tank!!! Lovely looking fish!

Welcome :bounce: MTS Just so addictive! :lol:
