  1. Im wanting to compile an article soon and am wondering what people think/know. What pro's and cons can you see in the alternative foods that you use/used? Iv noticed better growth feeding beef. Beef Pros: High protein/energy? = high growth rates Cons: Higher fat content than fish meat = liver problems? Shrimp Pros: More similar to what fish would eat in the wild Cons: ???? Reading the back of my Haikari carnivore pellets pack i see that they contain wheat flour. They are min 47% protein, min 5.0% fat. Max 3% crude fiber, max 17% crude ash(ummmm ash???). Any other input is welcome
  2. Near Nathan road? Theres one big market. It even on the local maps!
  3. Think most of us use uncooked. Well I do. I like Pams the best! You get better growth off beef IMO
  4. True. Im happy with my shaft
  5. Looks good. Reminds me of Indiana Jones! Wish i had the skills to make a background!
  6. You get a chance to go into china? It much worse in there
  7. But is the demand there?
  8. Be careful with the shaft! Learned this the hard way!
  9. Theres places that pack more fish in a small space, saw 2ft fish in a tank that where only cm's longer than the fish.
  10. At $20ish for 70g I gave up trying to get my dats onto them. Feeding 3+ large dats on that stuff would cost some serious $ Beef + Shrimp + Fish = good growth
  11. I think they do ok up to about 25c. Just bring them up slowly and they should be fine. Iv read reports on them in tropical tanks and them doing well. Next time i go near the sea im getting a bunch of them for one of my planted tanks.
  12. Amano shrip = Caridina japonica NZ native = P. curvirostris
  13. I dont use a reptile bulb for my ones...
  14. Common name: Queen Gold Nugget Pleco Scientific Name: Baryancistrus sp L number : 177 Male #'s: Not sure Female #'s: Not sure Successfully bred: No
  15. $20,000 wont get you far at all! Try 100k +
  16. Why not get a dolphin while your at it? Re black market: Try your local seedy pub, ask the guy at the bar for a piranha
  17. Find a old pc and rip the power supply out. I use a 100w PSU. Hook some cold cathodes up to it and you away. Should come out sub $20
  18. You can buy it pre made. Try the large auction site.
  19. Flourish Excel(FX) is not a fert as such. Its bioavailable organic carbon. Florapride is a Iron-Intensive Fertilizer. Leaf Zone is a fert of some sort. Here's the(my?) formula for good plant growth: Good lighting + carbon(co2 or organic carbon) + Fertilizer = good plant growth I use FX and PMDD(fert) with great results. PMDD is cheap!
  20. Morphine would make the fish happy while it dies?
  21. I with you on that one. Iv done it a few times. Id rather(myself) die in a instant than slow down and be frozen
