There's a lamphrey eel at Southern Encounter that hasn't eaten in 2 years! They don't tend to eat in captivity. He likes to lie on his back in the middle of the tank & people keep asking if he's dead & I have to promise that he's alive

My household has new chickens too! Ours are year old ex-battery hens though, and they're missing half their feathers & one has a limp. There's 3 of them, but only getting 1 egg a day at the moment... settling in period I guess.

I can't view profiles either, I always wondered about that.

I got an ant farm for christmas and had 3 different lots of ant escape out the air holes! I'm guessing American ants are bigger than NZ ants.

I work on Sundays atm so can't make either date Hope you guys can sort something out though

Last mention of it was a call for a volunteer to host. Carznkats can't & I have a 1st & 21st to go to, so won't be going at all.

Apparently there are tsunamis like this all the time, they usually don't release warnings as too many people flock to the beach to see them. :roll:

I only started playing when I was off work recovering from surgery for a few months. Promised myself I'd delete them when I started working again, so now only play the ones that are really fun.
-
I love the Playfish games like Pet Society & Restaurant City. If anyone has them feel free to add me Used to have the farm type ones, but deleted them cos they got so boring & my farm was so big it was a chore rather than fun to plough it

Ummm this article appears to be over a year old & the chlorination was only for a few days.

If coming from central city, the 51 bus http://www.metroinfo.org.nz/timetable_51.html Tower Junction is pretty much at the same spot as railway station or if from suburbs, the orbiter. http://www.metroinfo.org.nz/timetable_O.html Again, get off at Tower Junction (not referred to on timetable, but its halfway between Riccarton & Barrington Malls.

Awesome! They probably killed it once the video stopped

I like generic buttery icing cos you can make it any colour. And chocolate of course! But I don't hugely like banana cake... maybe banana chocolate would be acceptable.

ahhh! just bought an iPod nano - only to find out...

Shops aren't obliged to let you return things and get your money back, just cos you changed your mind or chose the wrong thing. You'd be better returning it for credit and using that to buy the newer one, which they will almost always do. (assuming you have receipts) -
Man am I glad I live in Chch... I honestly don't think I could be bothered doing water changes if it took that much effort
-
It amuses me how everyone knows that Animates is... "average", yet when a sale comes around everyone flocks there & loves them again. I'd never buy a fish from them, far rather support the smaller shops that do a great job.

I'm not sure! I gave some to Donna so she could see if her turtles would eat it, what was the outcome? At the rate my moss is growing, I'll prob be able to bring a few handfuls every meeting, so plenty for all! Might have some (tiny pieces of) java fern too. Like, all those annoying bits that like getting stuck in the filter inlet Looking forward to meeting all the new people!

Help Help Help! They want to get rid of our swamp
bdspider replied to twinkles's topic in The Off Topic Fishroom
This was my first thought too. Don't some councils give farmers grants to revert a paddock or 2 back into wetlands? Make up your minds! -
Looks like a golden bell to me.
-
I should be able to make it. Anyone need any more free java moss? I'll bring along a couple more handfuls and if no-one wants it for their tanks the turtles can always have it.

Anyone here speak - or more importantly, write Portuguese?

Pop into the library & check out the Lonely Planets & Rough Guides. They have lots of phrases in them, including ones you wouldn't expect! -
Ummmm I can see something else, but calling it a face is a bit of a stretch. But then my flatmate likes to dish me up meals, especially sausage & potatoes, in artistic designs so maybe I've got it on the brain.

Next meeting is Sat 5th September, from 5pm onwards. Will probably be at Humvee's house in Aranui, but yet to be confirmed. Keep an eye on our website & forums for details too -->http://totallytanked.co.nz/ (sorry it isn't up to date at the moment :oops: )

I painted a piece of styrofoam black to put behind my old tank & it looked great. I'm currently looking for a black camping mat for my current one!

Possibly exaggerated, as mine is a reasonably cheap camera & the flash isn't that powerful. It was a lot brighter in real life.
