apparently you didn't think this through you are basically buying a ferrari but wanting to run it on CNG or diesel if these are young leps then what they are raised on while they are developing will determine the quality of the breeding animal you have later on and also the quality of the progeny you sell you may need to bite the bullet and either pay for feeders or make the time to breed your own

genetically recorded so you know where they go back too close ring and registered so record is straight

kea, kaka, kakariki thsat i have seen for sale on the web i think it will be surprising what is in overseas collections http://www.answersingenesis.org/creatio ... uatara.asp

they are available already

not just a food source if our birds werre bred in captivity, close ringed, DNAed then sold overseas revenue could be brought back in to sopport release to the wild and predator trapping % for release to wild % of money to registered breeders % to support conservation work making our birds and reps available overseas will help cut down the smuggling trade

they are still operating once the first batch reach saleable size then each year it rolls on

+1 to temperate

tried to suggest this a few years back and got shot down in flames if done poperly it will work needs to be tightly controlled or stock will be taken from the wild for a black market trade anything where humans are involved is open to exploitation

yes 20 plus years ago made my own, nothing available at the time good for getting those interesting blennies out of the crevices in the rocks also used an inner tube with a fine net tied inside it to tow behind me saved going back to unload a catch plastic bags punched full of fine holes and a hoop in the open end propped between rocks then pulverising a kina etc inside it worked well to catch things as well

sadly i have seen bristlenoses and other tropicals thrown in ponds outside because people were told they were cold water they didn't make it through winter

i can see both sides of the fence i am sitting on and can understand where both are coming from P44 is only trying to correct a misconception conjured in any novice reading your post and assuming there is a variety of coldwater BN in the same token you have explained your situation before and could possibly construe it as being an attack maybe the use of the 2 words together is what caused the reaction and could be changed your tanks are not truly coldwater being inside, neither are they tropical either, more of a temperate tank sometimes it is good to sit back and look at what we are posting from someone elses point of view before we hit the submit button or make it a PM instead

not that bad if you keep them well fed:wink: have never had one bite me have you found live mysid ? i think you need to build a suck gun

find the leather jackets in the same zpne well camouflaged and can change their patterning sit in amongst the weed or curled round objects on the bottom easy to keep

nice one

low tide, same method, very shallow water stomach touching the bottom and back almost out of the water 2 nets one big one small go slowly and watch around the base of rocks or weed no big fish in very shallow water to eat little fish, its their safe zone red and painted moki are found there only introduce them to tank all at once don't try to add one to an existing group they will kill it

big eyes = daytime mask and snorkel and looking under bigger rocks with spaces underneath night time, torch and nets

so they aren't rare and unusual then?

nice tank, nice pic

bristlenose have hooks on their fins they use for defense and axys eat most things that will fit in their mouths so it may be a recipe for some damage to either

wishes are good to have but reality bites

and if it is a female it will perch on the phone or will be found in the kitchen

nice one, very easy to follow

one of ours sleeps in an empty wine cask

simply totally fab
