  1. Might be a bit of a hassle but a fridge box or washing machine box. just tape up the ends, cut a flap, put some mesh / netting in so it can see. big enough to have a litter box in and a bed, and then the cat wont climb the bars like in a cage. caution for when the 4wks is up tho, they go crazy when let loose so best to have in a small room (like your bathroom) for the 1st couple of free days. good luck.
  2. i have japanese rush. pretty cool looking, heres a link if allowed: http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod ... siteid=26&
  3. yeah thought as much. thanks ppl.
  4. I've just been dropped off one of these and it's about 8cm long. I know nothing about them and have just done a quick search and found they grow bigger, get more aggressive, like to hide & dig. Well the thing is, i already have 5 bristlenoses cruzing the bottom happily and dont want to upset them, or any other fish at that. This particular fish has been living in a coldwater tank with fancy goldfish (sold by a petshop) and just eating away at their fins. The owner told me it should be alright in a tropical tank. :lol: Anyone with experience keeping these? Tankmates? I personally think it's too big for my tank. (3ft approx 270ltr) Thankyou thankyou.

    Dare i say it..... post mortem? sorry for you loss
  6. Any chance you can get a quieter filter and leave it on? What fish are you looking at getting cause i house a few WCMM in a 30ltr tank over winter with a noisy filter (more so the water dripping back into the tank). i turn it off at night and on again in the morning. do a water change every now and then, syphon the muck every other now and then. They have been fine and even spawned when i did the big water changes.

    killie eggs

    1 lucky male and 3 females. just put the mop back in after having it out for a break and just one egg again yesterday.
  8. that was just a ploy to get us to look :lol: Na, i think it's awesome. Most of my lily plants got a bashing from the lamb eating them, even the flowers!! But lamb is in the freezer now and the lillies are kicking back.
  9. yep...... had that happen with a load of nappies. Bad enough that i had to soak/ scrub them before washing let alone do it again after.
  10. i'd say allow at least an hour. It's forever growing but extremly worth while. Think the only sign post from the main rd is one of those yellow aa ones, but it's Ohangai Rd. If you go past the caravan place you've gone too far.
  11. Mokoia pet shop,,, not what it used to be but very nice ppl who own it. Dont think there are any more until you reach NP. Touristy things :: just as you hit normanby, after hawera, turn right accross the railway lines and go about 2-3 min. on the left is Tawhiti museum, VERY worth while stopping in. Have fun :lol:

    killie eggs

    The container is clear :oops: will have another look. Just see one of the females sitting in the mop all the time without the male. Have taken it out for a couple of days and he chases them around when i put it back in. But still only 1-2 eggs max.
  13. there are a few on here that do a molly hunt so must be sort of ok to take some.

    killie eggs

    how often would a female lay eggs in a mop without the male fertilising them? I have been collecting 1 egg every other day...not seemin to hatch but not going white either??.. then today i collected 6. have them in a small container with the tanks water. Anything else i should do??
  15. oh............. cool. just pm'd you.
  16. not zebra finch? i have only heard of them ,,, bull finches an gold finches. but zebra are cool coloured.
  17. Ok, will try that tonight, i cant connect to internet (to download a dvd media player) as it only came with a modem connection card thing and not a network card for broadband. Least it think thats right......... google said so. Thought i'd take it into dick smith and plead for help. :lol: You never know.
  18. Thanks Caryl, put in a cd and it started to whizz around liek all the other times then just stops. Going to start, my computer it has: shared documents. user documents. under hard disk drives: local disk © devices with removable storage: 3 1/2 Floppy (A) This is the email i got back just now:
  19. if OS is windows it's xp. Will try the right click thing soon
  20. We have bit the bullet and brought a second hand laptop. It's an IBM thinkpad A20m. The ad for it said it had CD & DVD drive. the only thing is we cant seem to play any CD's or DVD's?? they dont run when put in (like on this one) and in [my computer], there's no option to open it or anything. so here i am again asking for help. I have googled it but all that stuff doesnt make much sense. I've also emailed the guy we got it off but being new years and all........ cant expect too much today. Any help would be great,,,,, thanks

  22. i know some might not consider WCMM tropicals but i have 6 adults that were in my daughters tank (in her room anyway) over winter that i've put outside in a tub. they started spawning straight away and are still going as i still see the tiniest of fry every now an then. Quite cool to see them really

GOOD: Being able to take our daughter (15mths at the time) on holiday to OZ in Feb Having a boy in July to add to our family Having a loving hubby who lets me be me Was able to swap my beloved 3 str ute for a 6 seater before bubs arrived BAD: Having to spend money on ppl and our xmas at the in-laws when we'd rather be in our caravan at the beach (jus the 4 of us) doing our own thing Loosing my ute It was me to a 'T' Not keeping in touch (enough) with friends I may add to the lists as the year is not out. depends if santa listened as to what i want (a new electric frypan) or he's just going to guess and get me tea-towels, doylies and socks again...... hmmm, in-laws :roll:
