  1. lining big holes can be expensive
  2. i like the idea of adding a 2nd tier to the breeding scheme for rarer or harder to breed fish it is important to do this as more species will go onto cities appendix and only captive bred will be available keep the thoughts coming
  3. panzer is in there already too early to tell how they will all get on
  4. can the cactus company not export some plants to the states, maybe make enough from export so they can concentrate on the rarities a percentage can then be let go to the new zealand market where you have humans you will always have the situation you have described bar banning people from breeding and selling you can't stop it from happening, it just has a bigger effect in a depressed market

  6. simian no matter what the hobby or pasttime in life you will get some who do it for prestige, some for cash and some just for the sheer enjoyment of doing it genetically speaking 2 runty fish can produce beautiful fish as it is a random mix of chromosones from both parents that make the new fish transversely the uppusite can happen. 2 beauties can equal some uglies one cannot visually identify the genetic make up of a fish and say it will breed true

  12. good post barrie passion. experience and money don't always go hand in hand not too many years ago a guy in auckland took the time and money and imported some new breeds of pheasant into nz these were then bred and sold off to recoup costs on outlay a couple of the breeds commanded high prices as they were expensive to purchase originally having the money to purchase something does not necessarily mean you have the expertise to keep and breed it properly sadly these breeds are now in very short supply
