yes i still have some breeding usually some for sale on trade me male masked lovebirds make the best pets but they need to be hand reared don't let some one tell you an aviary bird can be tamed unless you are experienced

:rotf: :thup: :smln:

welcome on board there is a mudflat tank set up on here somewhere i would personally go bigger than a nano though

told my daughter when she lost her first tooth that the tooth fairy had no money as she was unemployed she then asked what unemployed meant i said she has no work to do the reply was, gnaaah lots of kids lose their teeth so she couldn't be unemployed :slfg:

do daily water changes of 20% will reduce your losses ui have over 100 fish in a 3 footer and have lost 4 in the last 3 weeks they came from an ice cold pond so i expected to lose more than that touch wood

HHF might be worth asking or any store that stock blue planet

so is the formula only made from babies called nutricia?

cold or tropical? cold just stick it in tropical will need diluting with RODI water and adding a bit of calcium and magnesium

3 weeks is not a problem

it has red eyes

you could add this to the mix

just let it cool naturally or do small changes then do water changes once at right temp once fish have gone through an extreme of water parameters adjustments need to be slow to avoid adding further stress you will always lose some as alan said, natural selection takes over

the high heat may also have contributed to a lack of oxygen in the tank which in turn may have caused some die off in gill membrane there are many variables that will have come into play but shock to the fishes system will be the biggest you will just have to wait it out one consolation could be what is left may be hardy

when is a fry not a fry when its growded :smln:

if the black barring on the tail and fins is the background showing through then yes but if black is pigment then probably not leucistic leucistic is a reduction of all pigmentation

i think a lot of the medical fittings in nz are still Din477

no they have little gauges that if the prey item doesn't fit in they can't eat it sounds like thats whats being advocated

it looks undersized i hope you put it back :rotf: found this one in the return pipe from the sump wondered why the flow had reduced :facepalm:

it can take awhile for the water to get into any unsealed areas where the concrete is i found changing water every 3 days for a few weeks was best way of reducing the effect the lime was having on ph while it is high cycling process will be harder

Candiruphobic? :rotf: :rotf:

walked in turned all the lights on and checked the tank inhabitants one of the crayfish lying on its back, DAMN gotta do a water change if it killed a cray, 1300 litres :roll: so reached in and grabbed it out heavy, pulled it out of tank and water was flowing every where HAHAHAHA NEVER STOP GETTING FOOLED WHEN A CRUSTACEAN DOES A SHELL CHANGE :oops:

probably, there is localised variation in them

be afraid very afraid

http://www.societies.govt.nz/cms/charitable-trusts process is fairly easy 4 - 5 people, maybe one from the council included once set up you can apply for funding etc look for other trusts doing same work and enquire with them, most will be only too happy to provide info
