my apologies for the misidentification of the fish i thought you had the first photographic evidence of this species

and the tank to do the courtship rituals in would be big

dropped window size to 2.2 metres long x .800 height with .100 overlap internally added 100 x 100mm to window frame top and bottom levelling internally with epifill to give a smooth surface for glassing its taking a while due to having to deal with interruptions and normal work during the holidays

might take ten men with large crow bars to prise them loose? and do you have a large tank?

no more sleeps happy birthday :bounce:

as i said highly endangered last one seen was giving an angler on lake taupo a tongue lashing for fishing without a licence i do say that with tongue in cheek the chinese whitebait (big tonged galaxiad) is similar but not as rare

i think that is a picture of the highly endangered big tongued galaxiad they have become almost extinct from swallowing their own tongues

best thing for them in that catchment so when you wake up caryl it will be all the sleeps gone

one who errs on the side of caution has erred in the right direction

awesome on a light fly rod, used a bubble to float hook just above the weedbed and dough as bait the big ones put up a good fight

has he been charged with maf, male assaults female

there are a few bigger species around but they aren't readily available

it is the current system where the male is taken out of the situation and assumed the guilty party your friend will have to stick to the truth and it will prevail

you don't need it with a good diet

you are right caryl they are considered a sport fish in the waikato i have caught them in this lake before

well done bulldogod your patience was rewarded

probably an offence in your area caryl i don't mean calling them idiots is an offence

they be called rudd good page on them here http://www.doc.govt.nz/conservation/thr ... acts/rudd/

that explains a lot david

barrie is orrect and if you think you aren't being listened to or fobbed off there are advocates available to help you out ps. good luck

if its been handreared properly should already be doing it or as others have said patience repitition and time

i use large tubs from payless plastics

some snakenecks only come out of the water when no-one is around watching i dealt with 2 snakenecks that had been kept in only water for 6 years no basking area, 2 normal flourescents and fed only oxheart as that is how they were told to keep them on purchase they were like picking up 2 sponges sadly the tank cracked a few months later, all the water leaked out and the 2 turtles died as their shells weren't strong enough and collapsed onto their lungs turtles shells are effectively their rib cage give them the option of basking, correct lighting and diet

or you might CUT OTHER THINGS
