Both P82's and the Blues are almost identical so its even more important to keep them seperate Are you breeding them?

A lot that know me will know that I fight for lines to be kept pure I keep an eye on trade me for this exact reason (with the fish I keep) so that line remain pure. I am at presant "talking" to TM about this exact thing and may well present it to the commerce commision or fair tradeing to solve the impass. Pur to me is the same as can be found in the wild and should be preserved at all costs. Cross breeding therefore loosing the pure wild form can be fine but should either never be released to the public or should carry the name aquarium strain. Yes, maybe blue aquarium strain even a date but the aim from all serious breeders should be to keep the strains pure

I tried to link TM to this thread but as I had already logged a report, it wouldnt allow me to do it. Likewise, the seller has banned me which I find quite funny as I simply wanted to help them as all in know, I will try to help anyone at all

no great hurry Mark

I can do a drive by mate... no problems want to send your address through by email at some stage please (email so I can print it but leave it in my inbox so I dont forget)

off to Napier next Wednesday morning if anyone wants fish taking down? Going through Taupo I would need them delivered to my home either Tuesday evening or early wednesday morning

when I was a kid living in Rotorua, after the muns n dads had had a few of the regular sunday afternoon flagons, the kid next door and I had been out collecting tadpoles and left the dirty water with baby tadpoles on the table while we listened to the stories that were being told. You already know where this is going dont you The kid next doors father grabbed the tadpole glass and drank the lot. he simply didnt notice a thing and that includes the mud. After Jamies mouth hung open with a shocked look on his face his father asked what was wrong and after being told simply said "too late now, may as well go get some more and get out from kitchen" Some of the beer in those days must have been real bad or maybe it had a greater effect on the drinkers that I remember as I cant remember any of them being drunk. Shows that as kids we dont notice a lot of things do we (I was about 10 or 11 I think)

hes miss leading people

yes Thanks all they hopefully will get the names right

I suggest you ask the same as them?

I tought of listing a true P82 but thats dirty pool and I have nothing against this person (or TM) but they need help in IDing their fish Thanks Alan

its a great pity that TM hasnt done anything about this listing as it clouds a very good site. Makes me wonder if its worth the risk or buying through them and how many items are reported but nothing done

If you managed to cut toughened glass you were extremely lucky to the point of maybe 10million to one or the glass was not toughened Toughened glass is made by shrinking the outside surfaces which puts the inside of the glass under presure, When the outside surface is damaged (cut) the inside releases the presure and breaks Im guessing that although your glass may well of have the mark on it, it may well have missed the toughening process? In 41 years, I have never been able to cut toughened glass by traditional cutter, diamond saws or even alpha cutting (water lazor) although it is sometimes (rearly) able to grind a couple of mm of the edge

If you want, please do and also report the listing Thanks

he dosnt know the full sientific name either Its honestly a pity as if he was to join the club and learn what he has, I would have no problems with him but to sell this fish and someone was to breed from it, the specie has the potential to be lost to the hobby by no longer being pure. He/she has banned me The fish that they are selling is a Fundulopanchax Gardneri aquarium strain hopefully but if they are calling it a P82, its possible/probable that it is already crossed

I will send a bit I did for the Aquarium world to Caryl and see if she can fit it in somewhere on the home page menus NEVER GO OVER THE SAME CUT if anyones wants to come to my factory, Im more than happy to show them how

Alan Wakelins mix Take 3 wheatbix and crush Add enough water to dampen until porridge like. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of yeast in loop warm water Add to mix Add culture to start. Have at least 2 cultures going at any time, I have 4.

this guy is at it again Listing #: 234930391 This is not a P82 it looks like a Fund. Gardneri aquarium strain P82's look similar to this as you can see this has a lot more blue This persons fish is gold

I just roll around on my head nowdays :oops:

Caryl If you like, send mine and woks together to me and I will give it to him

Baileys, the only milk you need

I will take a photo and show you with an egg in it if you like PM me your email please? Im in west auckland

thanks
