bad spelling, the word is bruyed

on friday got a call from a local boat repair shop boat had come in for some work and they had found a small gurnad in the sump jumped in the ute and arrived to find a small scorpion fish in about 3 litres of milky water put it in a bucket of water i had brought with me then back home to the big tank floated it off then it disappeared into the tank got up this morning couldn't find it anywhere so thought the packhorse had got it went down to feed them just now and out it came to snaffle some mussel looks good so should be a keeper about the size of a mussel shell

after the few days of observation no i don't feel it is fair on the animal

yep

just a u shaped pipe safer to use the system pegasus has outlined

this is a permanent poition the lizard is in pic to shoew approximate curvature on spine

going by the photos the axy looks fine is it floating all the time or just occassionally? daily 20% water changes may help +1 with removing the stones

nice fish

i have a horrible feeling about occiput and c1 connection

called bad advice originally then not listening to good advice when they got it :evil:

ii think the same repto it is about the size of a 6 month old also seems to tip over backwards in a sort of epileptic fit worries me that the spine has been affected badly

this 18 mth old beardie was brought in the other day 2 of them rescued by a lady 6 month ago the one with legs and tail thin as matchsticks succumbed within a week she has been syringe and habdfeeding this one, but is going overseas so left it with us the first year of their life was poor lightinng and inadequate food paralysed right front leg MBD or mechanical damage and should it be put down?

the quota system covers crayfish, scampi, paddlegrabs etc nothing specific to freshwater shrimp that i know of paddlegrabs (yes i know it was deliberate, if you go paddling you will get grabbed)

i have found the finer sand packs down tighter and may decrease the depth you can use that aerobic activity can take place as to sand grain size and exact depth of sand? it is a piece of string the bigger the grain size the greater the depth IMO

do you have a link or copy of the legislation that has made you question it?

so long as the pots you are using to trap them in are no bigger than 2.5cu. cm it is OK

The top 1-2 inches of the sand bed is the aerobic region and houses two types of bacteria, the first will convert ammonia into nitrite and the second will convert nitrite into nitrate.

would be minimum for a "deep sand bed"

both of those will work as well i cut holes in bottom of enclosure to take a plastic pot lined pot with fine plastic mesh then potting mix and plant to replace a plant if it got too big i just replaced pot with another i had been growing

i have used young pittoisporums and then effectively bonsaied them with pruning

a good post Jennifer a pet shop is not a veterinary hospital, but as they are selling live animals shouldn't there be some responsibilty on their part to provide a easonable standard of advice on the livestock they sell?

market research?

welcome ethanyo a flat stone or peice of wood placed directly under the flow will stop it disturbing the gravel then you can lower the water slightly until the bubbles stop getting trapped
