  1. Beardies for $250 (young) at the moment Interested? They also have some leapard gekos as well
  2. Im going to sneak some Normani in Alans bag when he returns to the South Island in june
  3. I could be tempted to thing that green stuff has more of a use than simply to act as feed or a hiding place what would it be? and is it getable here?
  4. what area do you live in? If your in Auckland, I have a reflection meter to measure the thickness
  5. glass is either broken or not... simple really If you see a crack then its broken If you bump it and cant see a crack then it is now and will not break A chip (shell is what its called in the trade) can be a weak point for the future Shifting a tak is a whole different matter as that can create different stresses in different points due mainly to a slightly uneven surface that the tank is sitting on. Dont for get that if the weight come on the tank when you fill it, it can take a full 12 months to settle completely due to the seasonal changes in even the earth under and around your home
  6. please read the replies "put java moss in with them and simply walk away I go away for 3 weeks at Christmas and do a light feed about half way through the hollidays... 2 years ago I lost a tank to velvert... not lack of food... last year all were good and not a single death from 47 tanks"
  7. NOTHING If they really need something they will find something to eat Give a normal feed when your going to leave and a normally feed on your return, if your away for more than a week and a half, then by all means ask someone to give the fish a normal feed
  8. if you were hungry you would eat anything wouldnt you? Thats why most will suggest plants of some sort... I prefer Java moss(not for me to eat but for the fish if they really get desperate)
  9. put java moss in with them and simply walk away I go away for 3 weeks at Christmas and do a light feed about half way through the hollidays... 2 years ago I lost a tank to velvert... not lack of food... last year all were good and not a single death from 47 tanks
  10. they take a bite or two from one In both the times they distroyed some of my birds, they only ate a very small amount of one. The rest were left with their necks ripped out
  11. I have pulled over 60 in 2 days from 2 f/ms but sometimes none others 10... there is no rule
  12. no They make their own mike Complan or farex just helps as its already "half"made taking a lot of work away from the parents
  13. they possibly were doing no better, its just that you only see the good results when you breed them like that
  14. As an ex breeder and shower, we normally only let the adults raise no more than 3 as its a bit of a strain. You can also add a bit of either complan or farex daily so that it makes feeding easier on the parents to fill the young
  15. Your here on Thursday? I can show you what I do but yes, Ive taken the mop out as well I rest mine on peat and any fungussed eggs can be removed straight away See what he throws is the simple thing
  16. Livingart The point I was trying to make is that there are a lot of things people would like to have but not very many that are not already here would be of benifit or the good of NZ
  17. I answered in the other post asking as well. Go to the home page of this site by clicking on the FNZAS logo at the top of the page, and look under the clubs section... the forms are there. If you cant find them, let me know and send me your email (by pm) and I will email them to you.
  18. go to the home page of this site by clicking on the FNZAS logo at the top of this page, and look under the clubs section. The fees are $15 with gives you a monthly news letter as well as access to fish by trading with other members. It give you access to BBS eggs at a great price as well as BBS flake. Most importantly, it keeps you and the other members in touch with one another as that specie do die out and new specie (Like the Normani) become established within our community The AGM and show is at Napier next year again and well worth attending The other $10 is capitation to this parent body. Its not needed if your already a member of another affiliated club. This gets you 4 mags a year (Aquatic World)
  19. these are only small fry. Look up the photos on the net and the males (of course) are plain but nice, lightly coloured finnage
  20. sounds to me as if you (after getting the temps correct by leaving the bag floating in the tank?) your simply tipping the fish into your tank? You should be slowly adding water from your tank to the bag.... this could take up to 24 hours do I do that, no. But I breed a different type of fish. I do however add water to the bag after 30 minutes then again just before I remove the fish and place only them into the tank... no water from the bags
  21. No And never would The first experiance I had with them was an elderly couple that had had theirs for ages. It slept in their room. It killed about a dozen show budgies. The second was a guy around the corner that I have discribed above Makes me wonder how many Kiwis they have killed ferrets v Kiwis.... only each person can decide the answer to that but I thinks it plain which side Im on
  22. "as I said, in the right conditions and wif the right owners" totally dissagree As people have mentioned, they kill for fun. Most are from responsible people that made one mistake and the ferret became free to distroy what ever it wants. I honestly belive that the government should ban them and distroy what is already here (along with stotes and weasles)
  23. one of the worst animals here in NZ They should be baned and those here distroyed. They kill for fun and rearly eat what they have killed except for a quick snack every now and then 10 years ago, I had 23 racing pigeons killed by a young ferret that got into my loft. These birds were grand kids of "Champion de Bacelona" which sold to the UK for 110,000 pound so my supplier in Australia sent me a statement stating the value as well in excess of $50,000. The owner of the ferret was planing on taking maters further as I killed the ferret straight away. When he arrive at my home wanting reimbursment, I handed him the statement of the value of the birds, he said he would see what he could do and moved out 2 days later from his rented house just around the corner. Now if these killing machines will do this to Livingarts birds and to my raceing pigeons, what are they doing to our native birds? Cute.... sorry mate but that would make hittler a gentleman
  24. remind me at the weekend and I will show you a way or raising the PH The fish I breed prefom better at 7 than at 6
