  1. My suggestion is to get someone who knows what they are doing to wire it up. Water and electricty do NOT make a good mix as it is. let alone dodgey wiring. Trust me. Shocks from the mains plug are not fun.hurts like hell for ages.
  2. Hey Stella Can the different types of bullies be found in the same locations? As stated in the other thread, i wanna set up a native tank, Can different species of natives be kept together? Also I went to the local library to look for some reference books on NZ Natives, Guess what, There was none. I dont seem to be able to find too much on the net either, so please excuse me if I seem as though i ask too many questions,lol Please put me on your list for when your book is published

    Koura

    NAh I found a place closer. Lismore forest 3rd gate.Start of theParapara's Where theydid those huge realignments about 10 years ago.Just before you go up the first big hill. Used the net and lifted big rocks and hoped for the best. and i got them. Dixon, persistance pays, My partner thought i was never gonna get any koura myself as this was about the fouth time Ive gone hunting for them.YOU NEED TO GET WET IF YOU WANNA FIND THEN DURING THE DAY. I am currently housing them in a 1200 x 400 x 400 tank with lots of stones rocks and wood.The big one already chows down the peas. No names yet stella,prob wont get any as i never call my fish names, except a skunk loach i used to have was called SKUNKY. Well im pretty much into the whole native thing now, bully tank will be next. By the way stella? how far away from publishing is your book?

    Koura

    :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Yay! I finally have my own Koura, well two infact. I caught them in a stream today north of Wanganui. Also got a fair few Bullies(although released them again) They had reddish fins, I know someone here will be able to give me correct name. Also a few small eels. This stream is its own little paradise, spent most of the day there. once i sort myself out a bit i will prob set up a Native fish tank.
  5. Got any pics Henward??????
  6. I had a cf1200 on my discus tank that was situated about 2 metres away from the head of my bed. So long as you dont allow air into filter itself , it is pretty silent. I coluld hear the airpumps in the lounge more than the aqua one. Aqua one is my choice. best value for money in my opinion
  7. Wanganui LFS has some
  8. Damn you Dixon, you too fast for me
  9. You cannot legally sell NZ Geckos or Skinks you must hold a permit to keep these and you can only get these from breeders who are willing to give them to you. Good luck By the way, you cant get them from the wild either
  10. Be a bit more specific Fresh or saltwater where have you seen this fish, is it in NZ or on the net? Could be anything
  11. You cannot sell native crayfish legally! I think you will also find that keeping more than one cray per tank(unless you have a big tank) they will fight all the time and are carniverous. Hey count yourself lucky you've got one. Im having enough trouble finding one
  12. Chop off its pieces I do with bleach you can also use potassium permanganate One capful of pure bleach, Non scented type free of additives per 20 litres of water. soak few a few minutes rince in water with added water ager
  13. Clove oil is great to numb the pain. Was given some at local A&E when i had a bad infection in my wisdom teeth. BUT it dont taste good. The numbing effect of it is almost instantaneous. so id imagine for a fish it would be pretty effective if not yucky tasting.

  15. I pop in ocasionally. Not much going on. why dont all of us who are members make a point of posting something this week. see what happens.
  16. What type of plug is it for Most likely asian, two round pins only. you can buy adapters at most electrical stores. Hans- love the sig
  17. Try aussie Ebay, May cost a bit more than getting here in NZ but bigger area to search in.

    Condensation

    I have that problem as my planted tanks are open topped. Condensation is a big problem I have a DVS system. Basiclly it is useless and all it does is create cold draughts. I put a dehumidifier in the room at night on cold night and wipe and open windows in the morning I believe that so long as i own fish, i will have to live with condensation.
  19. Our cat is the same. so we leave the bath tap running slightly to allow her to drink whenever she wants. Yes She owns our house and loves eating fish food. once found a small container of fish food outside.only found out how it got there when i caught her running down the hall with container in her mouth.
