taken in napier too many years ago :oops: had to handraise 3 lion cubs when mum wouldn't feed them i had them on a lactating bitch for a week but they were too stroppy on the nipple

any thoughts on filtration?

already got the big bichirs the price of big dats doesn't do it for me

no between 20 to 50 a day the spin doctors are at play

4 silver aros, 1 scleropages jardini, 1 giant gourami, 1 oscar, 1 catfish (panzer), 1 pangasius and maybe 2 large ornates have another 2 aros out on loan that will come back one day just running a aquaone 2400 at the moment with 2 large powerheads for more water movement have another 2400 to put on when i move fish have a spa pool filter off the eel pool i may try or 3 metres of sump full of pumice may be an option with biggest pondmaster on it still undecided but may play it by ear

making the lid at the moment lighting will be fun

bigger is not always better oh grasshopper

so cool its frozen solid:D

need to move the breeding tanks and start putting some decor in it have some big driftwood soaking in the eeel pool

worst bit was me putting lars in the tank :oops:

breaking news just need to have it confirmed think a legal battle has gone on over the elephants ownership

i have seen canaries end up as turtle tucker when going for a drink but it was in a smaller enclosure i run waxeyes in ours no problems nice enclosure, the perfect home

that goes in the week after

Mystic did the big road trip and brought me up 2 new fish i have waited til they settled in before posting pics, you never know when moving large aros what will happen Lars the silver Aro panzer is harder to take pic of as never have camera when he is out lars again moving all the large fish into new tank next week 3 silvers, 1 Jardini, catfish(panzer). Oscar and Giant Gourami maybe big ornates too

it may depend on the water content in the roach at time of freezing

+1 to what discusguru said i use it too for new setups

being small you could seperate her if she is getting bullied too much the choice is yours plenty of hidey holes some fry may survive good luck

the elephant conducts the interview

i understand wanting to free an animal from the circus but these sorts of animals can't be returned to the wild and after 38yrs of being around humans they still need the routine that they are used to she needs a long weaning period from one human companion to another and it needs to be a constant companion who will interact with her probably not an option to get another elephant companion for her if she is to be sent overseas she will need her companion to go with her

you want to see the merinos, covered in fuzz

no the experts they have called in the circus had no expertise in handling elephants only 2 people in nz can handle jumbo she will probably have a life of controlled captivity

aaahhh the memories the poems i composed while shovelling that stuff used to dry them, dent them, then resin them for ashtrays road apples

full of water now will take pic tomorrow for you ants
