  1. heat and eat fish dinners?
  2. give it time to heal sam yes they can see each other
  3. a further 26 drops would be following the dose rate you've posted is hospital tank bare? as sudstrate rocks etc can take up water volume
  4. our old cat would kill any birds (sparrows etc) outside but wouldn't touch the birds inside we had a crimson rosella that flew out the door the cat caught it the next day, brought it inside and dropped it on the kitchen floor alive and not a mark on it cat got extra pats that day
  5. theory is good if you can factor in all variables and possibilities has the cat been informed he is not allowed through the open door or window
  6. it will fly anywhere until the guns come out then it may be a dead duck
  7. so full post would be trying to get a definitive answer on I.D. of some of these plecs must be nigh on impossible until you know the distinguishing features that set one from the other, teeth, scaling. buccal flaps, fin shapes, number of fin rays, colouration, patterning, adult size, clouration changes in fish during its development, potential stress colouration, locational varieties, variation in water quality, current vs filtration, and the very possibility that it made it to NZ as unidentified species and is therefore a good price for the importer, we are just conjecturing as to what it may be
  8. or confused thoroughly so
  9. trying to get a definitive answer on I.D. of some of these plecs must be nigh on impossible until you know the distinguishing features that set one from the other, teeth, scaling. buccal flaps, fin shapes or number of rays, colouration and patterning it is just an approxamation of what it may be
  10. as adodge said seperate him and don't worry about putting into the hospital tank as you could use the water from existing tank when you change him over in my experience the tonic you have plus some salt and frequent water changes can help the problem and even make it dissapear, but i have had it come back later on healthy fish can be resistant to many things but when they are stressed in any way their auto immune systen can lower and allow diseases to break out your fighter could live in a small amount of water to make the treatment easier
  11. are you sure you have the name right i think all 3 species have the same care requirements
  12. if i use nzpost i place item in cardboard box then fill box with expanding foam wait until it is set then clearly label please treat this parcel with disrespect (reverse phsychology) then ship on another courier
  13. i think the words bacterial infection and furan have been used already so i won't repeat them
  14. they put the law in place so there would be no chance of any being transferrred to other waterways either deliberately or by accident i have seen people selling them on trademe as cold water guppies, ads quickly withdrawn if you net a gambusia while netting in streams you are not to return it to the water and it must be killed
  15. like ryan, either immature male zebra or female bigger pics?
  16. undescribed species? are they just young baboon spiders? http://www.bighairyspiders.com/usambara.shtml
  17. feed just before lights out but leave the room light on it will come out as mystic said it can take awhile to settle into the tank
  18. if you stop feeding it it won''t need a new tank seriously it should grow at least a foot a year, give or take good food and plenty uf swimming space
  19. a varied diet is best, live foods are good for stimulating appetite aros are sensitive to movement on the top of the tank or smaller fish in their swimming space can also feed insects, baby mice etc don't feed too much mammal meat as it is full of fats exception is heart meat there is some more floating foods around that can be fed to aros
  20. love the look in the new setup, well done
  21. i have called it a hybrid the aros said thank you
  22. aS LYNDY SAID http://www.hdc.org.nz/complaints/making-a-complaint
