we have created a sticky at the top of this section concerning electrical work you are allowed by law to do in your home please go here viewtopic.php?f=28&t=43808

Legislation concerning electrical work you are allowed to do in your home can be found here http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/1997/0060/latest/DLM229444.html]http://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulati ... 29444.htm Disclaimer: Inexperience & improper wiring is dangerous and can cause fire, personal injury or death. With electricity, there's no room for errors. In some cases it may also void your insurance if not compliant. Water and electricity do not mix The FNZAS recommends getting any electrical wiring work around your aquarium done by a suitably qualified person. IN SHORT FORM You are allowed to remove and replace light fittings, cords, etc, this does not mean you are allowed to DIY new fittings from scratch. You are allowed to install new or extent sub circuits, PROVIDED they are inspected and signed off by a qualified sparky. Replacing a plug or broken bulb holder is fine but building new fittings is not.

you read it right gatito

mothers, we do love them

the earliest they may be mature sometimes not breeding till they are 15, 20 or even older that is in a sound specimen as well possibilities are the male may damage the shell or rear legs

wish i was there to give you a hand with him i usually hold bird in left hand with head between index and middle finger tip of syringe under beak and gently push up as they try to bite it small squeeze into beak and let them lick it up back into cage good luck with him

hope it works out right with the plumbing a piece of starfire glass as a replacement would be nice

being a marine tank with overflows and holes in panes that may not be achievable

they can get old but an alpha male should still operate correctly fish can have fertility issues for different reasons and age is one of them

can't believe they used a rope and not a flat strap with packing to spread the loading :evil:

as they can potentially reach 1.2 metres and live 10 - 20 yrs a tank with a footprint of 2.4m x 90cm would be a minimum then

temporary tat i think

could hit 60cm within 9 to 12 mths maybe sooner could end up damaged in the snout if it is a skittish one

a bossy auratus i had did that he did spend a month in a covered sump though

big fish eat little fish bigger fish eat big fish massive fish eat bigger fish

those are african cichlids from lake malawt which would grow and eat your other fish they also ideally should be kept at a higher Ph level than your current fish

he doesn't like plecs for some reason

missing a couple of scales, had a battle with the pleco not as stroppy as he used to be

good to see you still around davidb welcome back
