looking good so far nick

got any pics of the fin extension the males i have seen have had an orangey/red shade on the pectorals

good to meet you the tank is completely clear of the algal bloom now but the oscars have trashed the cabomba :evil: post away with the pics

thanks very much guys and gals

the ihs was probably done to allow exchange of those torts for a breeding program between australasian zoos even a private member with a zoo licence cannot let animals out of a containment facility without the correct paperwork ie: the development of an ihs for general release you pays your money you take your chances it is black and white ihs for containment or ihs for public release no ihs no release it doesn't matter if they are in public hands already or not

total dissolved solids?

Pursuant to section 22 of the Biosecurity Act 1993, this document is the import health standard for the importation from Australia of the star tortoise (Geochelone elegans) and the yellow-headed tortoise (Indotestudo elongata) into New Zealand for zoos.

yep

it shows

good post jennifer

like alan i believe the fish you are refering to BURN are gambusia http://www.nzfreshwater.org/thumbnails/gambusia.html confusing these with tropical guppies is an easy mistake for a tyro to make in fact i have seen people attempt to sell these on trademe as cold water guppies :roll:

i do love the way ye jest with the swabs captain Ira

the mucus layer on discus maybe slightly different as they are able to feed their fry from it

could be as you said a number of things speculation ontil it is examined really an abrasion will clear up over a short time depending on how bad it is is it housed with other rabbits?

some reptiles don't seem to conform to scientific rules if it did happen as soloman has suggested then a raise in average mean temperature in their habitat may cause the extinction of that species the Thai water dragon P. coccinus (spelling) in papers i have read is chromosonally sex determined

is this new info that has come out? there are a few types of sex determination in reptiles, so what you are saying may well be a possibility

you will never get a decent reply from any politician as they have a team writing their responses who are careful not to put anything in writing that can be used as a fact

think you will find things the same the world over, some good, some not so good

if you are going to use water stored for use in your tanks then that will be one way of checking but remember guppies are tough little sods sometimes and it may take awhile for any long term genetic effects to show

putting a filter on the WDs works well, no worse than turtles all make good pets with regular handling from young BDs would be the most interactive

thanks mystic

still need to hang the rest
