  1. Yes, I believe he is, he has a small pink patch just behind his head and another one by the top of his tail. His brother is a green marble. Dlums, nice looking ct you have. My missing female is the yellow hm you sent down to me a few weeks ago. I have a large spawn from her but really wanted to breed her again.
  2. heres a wee few of mine I'm really annoyed though - one of my female hm (yellow) and one of my mustard gas hmpk (mostly yellow) male have disappeared from my tanks!!!!! The door of the shed was open the other day when I came home from work :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:
  3. from all fish Ron, or just the fighters!
  4. He did, he still may but perhaps not in the numbers he used to although I hope he kept a couple of spawns going cos once you lose the good lines you have going it sometimes takes a lot of time and effort to get them going again - and thats if you can find decent fish to breed from.
  5. David moved house in June and has since become a father so I would imagine that his time is now somewhat limited compared to what he had. You could try pm'ing Jono 'jfishfanatic' although he is moving to Aussie in a couple of weeks so may have no more left. I got some great hm breeders off him and now have about 400 hm fry to go with my 100+ mustard gas hmpk fry and 100+ young pure ct's.
  6. This is my opinion only - If its a standard three foot tank I would think what you already have and/or are getting is plenty without another pair of fish. If your kribs are a breeding pair there will be enough aggression particularly if they breed as the angel fish are going to try to eat all the young. Adding a pair of rams will only add to the disruption in the tank.
  7. we had a toyota corona station wagon when the children were young. it was a good size for 5, economical enough around town, fitted 3 seats across the back (had an anchor fitted in the middle for childrens seats) and yet big enough with enough bag space for travelling. We then went to a ford falcon station wagon but it was a gas guzzler and way too wide etc around town.
  8. thats it! I couldn't remember where it was.
  9. pm Barrie, Wok, Zev or pretty much anyone with NZKA as their signature.
  10. thats excellent - thank you! Amazing shot of the whitebait. I've never seen one alive before. :roll:
  11. I know of people who have brought lovely looking betta into the country but our quarantine process is pretty hard on any fish in my opinion anyway, and a lot of fighters that were very nice when they first arrived in NZ have not been so when they have come out of quarantine. NZ only has a very very small number of fish enthusiasts willing to pay a high price for fish that will not make them a profit! (again this is my opinion only)
  12. Welcome Andrew No these are not available in NZ. We pretty much only get veiltails, crowntails (usually only males) and halfmoons imported into NZ and even then they are nowhere near the quality you will be able to buy. Your fish are beautiful
  13. I feed brine shrimp from day one.
  14. Often a result of inbreeding - not sure what would any resulting fry would be like but you could try and cull out the deformed ones. At least you would not the female was not related! I hope you place feedback accordingly. I have noticed a few on that there site with deformed spines lately.
  15. Will be, I've bred from his brother already.
  16. Good news - the eggs hatched yesterday and dad is doing a great job picking them up off the bottom of the tank. Pretty small even for fighter fry but then mum was very tiny and the eggs very small in the first place. Heres hoping
  17. I have sterbai corys in the tank and they happily exist with the discus and temps of around 30 degrees celcius - oh and they breed too!
  18. Adrienne

    Blind Betta?

    fighter will be fine in salt, 1 grm per litre. I find that pop eye will resolve itself normally with clean salted water and have never lost a fish to it yet.
  19. Heres the breeder of the fish I have posted pics of. So far the hmpk male is looking after the nest so I hope he's not taste testing the eggs. I can't see into it because its been hidden on the far side of the lid I put down instead of inside it.
  20. at least you asked for assistance! I'm sure anything would be better than nothing and who's to say that in the wild the birds don't pick up bits of bread with milk products on them for giving to their young!
  21. good luck, discus tanks are great to sit back and look at
  22. L270 - I've got three of them.
  23. thanks Mr Pleco - you'll remember he's one of yours. I'll have to locate the other two types in the tank for you to ID for me as I don't know which is which :oops:
