No Alan Shinal is moving into the other side of the garage so she has more room and I suggested that Brenda moves her "stuff"into Shinals room so that will leave Brendas room in the garage free... Im just an all round nice guys as I also offered to buy the paint for them to do up all the rooms Brenda is a doll maker... one of the best in the country, a teddybear maker and makes dance and ice skating uniforms. Shes thinking of makeing flower girl outfits as well. She makes almost nothing from them but enjoys doing it

guess who told me all about them :oops: Alan... have you tried the lunchon with the Grindals?

thats also what I did Ants and it has the advantage of adding a bit of depth and texture as well

I need a we drambue

no... 2 would be fine... sometimes the males fight so what I would do is keep a male in reserve

Im busy making vodo dolls for you all at the moment vengence will be mine Wok, please alter the last line of your signature please

Im not sure on the temp theory but its as good as any... It would not suprise me if it had more to do with atmospheric presure but I shouldnt say things that prove me to be a nutter Trios are fine

mine are also in the garage and my main regreat is not making things more insulated before I started. I have 25 tanks that are 600 wide and 22 have solid deviders makeing 47 tanks. The reason I built them like that was to save on heaters and therefore power points. Im hopefull of moving the tanks into my wifes hobby room and if that happens, I will fit another 10/20 tanks in

yea I bet... I can see you sitting there laughing...

normally I send 2 pair away for exactly that reason... if one dies In the last lot of Australe Golds I bred, I only got 4 or 5 females and about 12 males

after bringing up kids for the last 31 years, I too have heard that before :oops:

Cam, I use anything up to 4 females... especially with Nothos The bigger the mop, the harder it is for other female to find and eat the eggs I dont worry about it to be honest as I dont breed big numbers and only want enough to keep them ticking over

Bunnings are correct but the level of finish and the lenght of time you need it to last is different to what they are thinking. Problem with paint is that it moves in a different time frame to what glass moves and as the paint cant stick long term to glass, it slowly breaks down through movement. Spray cans will do the job near enough. Splash backs behind oven are an example of straight paint being useless for the expansion retraction movement and to give you an idea, the meadium for allowing the paint to stick long term costs about $5000 per letre... not very much is used of course. As a back ground, Vynal is probably the best

it was me... In the USA, it was suggested I often will use 1m 1f but can also use 1m and 4 f

its wasnt me Honest

couple of Cms would be fine but 10 kgs isnt All this and there is still a heap of rugby to be watched with all the liquid that is needed to become abusive to the ref (while watching it on the telly)

a really big australe would be 50mm but they would normall be about 40 full grown. I dont feed it much as Im a breeder and want mine to have plenty of fuel in the tanks, because of that they simply dont get to eat it and there fore dont like it

they are honestly easy and a great source of food PM me your email if you want and I will take a couple of photos and send them too you... if you need to see what I do

Mods Please remove this thread as I have put on too much weight and am now trying to loose weight I find this thread disturbing and cruel to say the least (Except for Simians suggestion) :oops:

yes bare bottom tanks make it easier to clean but if you want to you can have what ever on the bottom. If you dont want to be bothered with raising fry, heavily plant the tank makeing sure you use Java Moss so fry can hide and slowly fry will appare. Cam Mine love BBS but dont eat flake and find that Micros are a bit small for the adults. I feed mainly frozen blood worms and white worm. I do use Micros but for the fry in the first few days... if I can be bothered, if not I raise the fry on BBS almost entirely

I feed lunchon sausage and have glass on top of it. Cover the container with a dark lid (the container should also be dark) then you will find the worms will come to the surface and feed on the lunchon.Lift the glass and the lunchon and there will be heaps of worms feeding. I just simply take a spoonfull and place it on a saucer under a light. The worms try to escape the light and heat and bury them selves under one another untill the dirt is left behind and can be blown or scraped off. Dont get the worms too close to the heat as you dont want to burn/fry/kill them
