  1. i would worry about after sales service for parts
  2. nice hi fin developing on that female nymox
  3. ornithon is for birds or are you breeding flying fish
  4. yes they is gravid, hapu, preggers, in the family way, adding to their species i think they can be fin nippers with fighters got a pic of them now they have settled down
  5. ooh photograpic evidence it needs to be 10 not 11 :roll: and we need a date stamp on the photo
  6. if that happens don't scratch it with the keyboard
  7. the way you have worded the first post might lead someone to make an assumption as to your behaviour thanks for the clarification and good luck with your outcome
  8. snow white zebra would probably nail it had these a couple of years ago and was told they had been crossed so no proper name just snow white being an albino it would be hard to tell what they are i'll tak some when they breed phoenix, they are pretty in the tank with that blue tinge they get dealt with a wholesaler a few years ago, i recieved a box of fish and so did a local shop was contacted a week later to find out how the fish were all fine no problems turns out the shop had lost most of theirs, mine were from the same shipment and tanks as the shops after some digging around turns out the fish person wasn't at the shop when fish arrived so they had been dumped in the tank with no float off period what so ever
  9. it would be ok as a temporary home, i do stress temporary they can be a bit agressive too red tails are reputed to be a bit quieter
  10. yes keep them dry if they are the crawling type a paraffin or cooking oil around the top of the container can stop them getting in they need a little bit of humidity to survive taking adult beetles and starting a new colony will help to get rid of them give the adults a blow off to remove any mites on them as they can be transfered too
  11. my big kadango took a beating yesterday don't know who did it as there is no apparent agression in the tank sometimes any female in breeding condition can spark any male to become territorial
  12. so what did you omit from the story that got those random as locals to call the cops who in turn called the arm defenders squad armed with Assult rifles and tasers to raid your place which you share with your dear old gran, sounds like an unplanned trip to shoot up the countryside not too many roads left that don't have someone living on them, and it is hard at night to ascertain what is behind your target or how close housing is what made them chase you? time will tell, you may get stung for the cost of the callout at the least or possibly a loss of firearms license in todays world of driveby shootings, recent standoffs with cops etc random shots in the middle of the night near housing will usually provoke a call to police
  13. giving me ideas is all good so long as you supply the money and time to implement them Sam
  14. the track is an old steel lima track so i told thomas he might need to get a hurry on to testif there was any roughness issues also thomas had been waiting in anticipation for the first run and couldn't contain himself
  15. it maybe a dominance, space or coming of age thing they may sort it out or you may need to seperate them it will depend on how bad it is i gave the others a bigger enclosure maybe someone else has had a similar experience with WDs
  16. personally i would not move the agressor in with the younger one
  17. the scenario is similar but the outcome might not be can you seperate and what is the dynamics between the other 2? could be sorting out the heirarchy any idea on sexes
  18. i had the same situation go on at roughly the same age caught one holding the other under the water, didn't know how long they had been there but the one on the bottom was dead they were in a 5 foot enclosure at the time
  19. at least you can still count the barring in black and white
  20. have you been able to see the culprit it can take a long time watching the tank to observe the total dynamics
  21. for those that are interested a lot of articles can be found here from greater chicago cichlid association http://www.gcca.net/publications.htm
