i have those ryan but not too good on the acrylic

its the DUGONG BAR thank god speedos are out of style a whale of a time thar she blows and wheres me harpoon me hearties

you whistling dixie there boy

couple of little kids stood at the tank looking up at the fish for 15 mins today absolutely mesmerised their dad said it was the quietest he had ever seen them

yes mel first time they have had a human in their space will do the other half tomorrow my wife said i was the biggest scrubber she had seen the oscars actually got close but internal memory was full on camera

had to clean the arowana tank

the jar ate one of my last silver dollars and i am not really a fan of pacus dixon

just had cricketman in and he was blown away by the colours in the fish under natural sunlight the silver aros are showing a lot of red especially the males the jar has always been a darker colour david, just think under the flouros it paleed him up a bit probably got darker with age, or i just see it every day so haven't noticed it it gets a lot of comments from the bigger fish fish keepers

now how to clean the viewing pane? remember it is acrylic

the real beauty is in the eye of the beholder

very good jennifer gourami goulash comes to mind drop eye is a problem prevalent in tank kept silver aros and there are many theories behind the causes i personally feel that in a tank they spend much of their time looking down for food and other fish even aros fed on floating food have developed it though so will be interesting to see what happens over the next few months

you wrote another good paper on USD available here as well mark http://www.reptiles.org.nz/uploads/PDF/ ... isease.pdf

i can stroke them all while sitting on top of the tank i can pick the albino oscar up

yes it is going around in circles and people will agree to disagree +1 to P44's last post +1 to KP as well lets put this to bed and my respect has gone back up again ys merry xmas to all

panzer lurks below that is why i feed the dead stuff don't think he is used to such deep water doesn't go near the surface much at all

my game on fishkeepers was in retaliation for posting on here as otherwise my hands were tied so i am a hypocrite :oops: and my apologies for being one i will remove mine if you remove yours yes not as much fun, as i have to watch what i say now and it has taken some of the fun away for me but i wanted to see this forum become a better place to be and accepted the role to hopefully change things for you people who like me didn't like the way things were i have watched the little digs at this site and it has saddened me that some people who were regulars on here don't post as much it is a bit like how the cool kids at school tease the less fortunate kids but that is life

are we speaking softly so the woman can't hear us

nick the tank is outside and i am using naural sunlight for lighting i am hoping that being outside may correct their dropeye feeding live food from the top first then some dead stuff only time will tell could always put a cage of finches on top to make something to look at

happy fish are breeding fish well done skippy

link took awhile to get removed after poster was made aware that it was unfair and cpmments were posted before both threads were sanitised the link was posted by the person in question no one else no obfuscation of facts please in my view this was the straw that broke the camels back i have sat back and watched the silly assinine games that have been played on this forum by other forum members and bit my tongue, well half chewed it off actually i had a lot of respect for all involved but constant rubbing has worn that respect down

where the big boys and girls play

i like the 'fire' NZ interpretation as well

the jar made the move with one split fin 1st aro no damage the next one, big girl snout and fin damage lars probably because he had already been moved that long before decided to do a big wiggle as he came past the tank top all have recovered nicely with some marks still remaining where scales got taken out

swapped the giant gourami for an oscar as the giant was becoming a pain in the proverbial sorry about the pic quality

yes it is smidey, probably my favourite fish it takes no prisoners and recycles my hybrids
