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

wish i could do it justice with a good photo under the right lighting i think they rival the asian aro colour morphs yes in the big tank nick put them all in together got rid of the giant gourami as he was niggling other fish too much

hard to get a good pic of he is constantly moving tank is lit by natural sunlight

yes bpspider they can be a real buzz and inspiration to some people i agree about the silly stirring matt, one upmansship, inserting links to another site and other niggly things are like the assinine games i played as a child now that i've grownup look what i've got it's a trumpet fay and it's made by tiptop

thanks mark i had always looked upon this as a bad shed caused by too high a humidity corrected as you have outlined it is good to put a name to it

no but picking out one quote to support an arguement is not enough, some of the other quotes i have saved point in another direction with the role of mod or admin on a public website comes the responsibility of acting in an appropriate manner this website is the public face of the Federation of New Zealand Aquarium Societies and as such needs to be a representation of all its members both young and old, and from all walks of life because of this there are societal standards to maintain and an executive to answer to a privately run website does not need to conform to the same standards and can be operated as the admin wishes the admin teams behaviour will be reflected in its members actions as like a family the parents set the standard not that long ago many members were upset at the way these forums were being administered and a lot of work and tears went into changing this to create a better place to be moderation has been relaxed a little but a standard needs to be maintained we all must be aware that though we consider something a prank others may not see it in the same light

yes it does

thanks for sharing that is an awesome tang tank

still a rose ethics are still ethics and morals are still morals the basic tenets of a good society will still remain the same

you should go into political spin doctoring a rose is still a rose
