This still spreads easily, but is less aggressive than the other oxygen weeds. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/plant_survey/aq ... bfc575fc14
  2. colours vary on them, have seen 2 orange ones with black markings
  3. no magic touch just providing the right environment and food seems to work hard thing is working out what the right environment is sometimes or the trigger food that gets them going height of tank, quality of water and plenty of live food
  4. perseverence is the answer faith is the key that allows your hopes and dreams to become reality caroline wrote that
  5. having a baby doesnt make you a female, it is having ovaries or testicles females lay eggs in the males pouch now i don't know why the males incubate the young maybe god is a women
  6. males carry eggs, give birth to live young never seen a male eat one, but have seen females do it i fill tank with live mysis, gets them into breeding condition have babies in 900 litre tank with slow flow through sump heaps of air stones on medium flow just need to keep live food up

  8. it makes a nice sandwich filling
  9. can mystic do slow motion jumps through the air ? i have tried it but gravity and i tend to disagree on what i can do i still don't know how i'm feeling at least caroline is happier workload has doubled and baby seahorses to raise
  10. yes put some fish in and see if they die seriously, residues off the roof or ph
  11. ditto welcome on board, enjoy your time here
  12. good idea imsweet measure airline wall thickness, as it is 10mm glass and you are using laser cutter 1mm compression should be enough on silicon tubing, but try one and see before cutting the rest once in place give it a push to see how firm it is to withstand pressures as mentioned above
  13. thanks Jude still working on sponsor the animals, a bit more involved than we first thought georgeous, mystic is the matrix already got plans for the matrix charitable trust will be up and running soon, this will make things easier we are working on things that need doing and prioritising them first working bee will be a test case, hopefully more to come please keep the ideas coming as they are important to the success of the park all of this has increased my workload, but is nrcessary till we can get people onboard so i can delegate i am Neo signed loan documents today
  14. it will be trial and error dependant on the wall thickness on the airhose the silicon airline maybe best dont put too much pressure on front and back panes of glass, may go ping ensure no grit on edges when setting it up

    seahorses

    woke up yesterday morning to a tank full of these sorry for the blurry photo mum and dad
  18. is bud getting old and forgetfull too many whiskeys ? good pic caryl
  19. update of the park, had many people in with offers of help, working bee thanks to jimminy cricketman, rebranding and marketing help, volunteer list is getting longer, kaz is looking after that same as mailout list, offers of goods for garage sale on the open day, and people to help on the day we had a 1.5m taxidermied alligator, stuffed cobra and mongoose in large display case donated for display, adds to the natural history museum seahorses gave birth, and golden axies have hatched or wiggled loose
  20. you can put lipstick on a cat but it is still a cat natural hunters, generally inclined to chase anything that moves i love cats but they don't have a place in our bush cats are like dogs, OK with responsible owners can understand davidrs point of view as cats cause us many problems seeing our fantail population grow then finding piles of feathers of young fantails makes me feel the sentiments charlie originally expressed in this thread one neighbour has 7 cats, told me i should keep our birds penned up
  21. she was obviously happy and content then, if she was a fish in a tank and lived past her average lifespan the fishkeeper would probably get a pat on the back
  22. i am a sceptic and believe nothing till i have seen it with my own eyes schooled towards a zoology degree, but left school to wander in my life i have seen and experienced many things that people may call extraordinary and depending on the company some experiences will not be told, as judgements can be passed i am still a sceptic but respect other peoples experiences as a reality to them ps, i would love to meet an alien or a ghost, it will probably remove some more of my doubts
  23. as experienced reptile keepers are hard to find the store is probably relying on info from the breeder ps. seahorsemad that is 2 more times you have mentioned the store which is creating an off topic situation the thread is about age to sell beardies at
