Try the NZ carnivorous plant society

Yep just copy and paste works, thanks

Because of the theme we have chosen i can't see a way of changing it srry

it is in old format so all will need correcting by users I turned sigs onto on as default instead of having to tick it, can turn back off if annoying

Do you have, view others signatures, turned on in your account settings?

sorry to hear but that is the problem.

In your profile

Gurnard Hermit Crab Scorpion fish

It is Jellyfish season again in our local Tauranga harbour, THESE RANGE IN SIZE FROM 15CM TO 90CM ACROSS THE DISC.

The only way to confirm a blockage would be to, once its dead, go down the intestinal tract with a finger and thumb either side and feel for a hard lump.

Pics were good, well done the surgeon, a good healthy looking fish. I would run with Colour-genes suggestion of a possible blockage

Sprays, disease, off food, temp should all have seen more deaths. fish aren't skinny or have dropsy and no external damage so predator isout of the picture too Are gills red/pink? Autopsy time, liver a good colour and does stomach contents smell bad? '

The Bad Boys Tank

Carpet Sharks, Juvenile Bluenose, Porcupine fish, Cup corals and Jewel anemones

Probably means Ostracods

How much do you need to transport each time?

I think that would be too small for an adult

As you mature you will come to realise not to make a judgement until you know all the facts. Someone fishing on a boat caught the young hammerhead on a boat and stuck it in their live bait tank but forgot to turn the pump on y the time they got back it was on its last legs, I tried to resurrect it but it was a no go. i have the ability to build bigger tanks as my fish grow and when they get too big then they can be transported to somewhere like kelly tarltons, though i would probably send it to Napier Aquarium instead. Or just build my own Aquarium
