thanks ryan - maybe some WOMD bummer on the power outage ants we went through the same thing a few months back the publicity has bought some offers of help from here and locally to help source some finance, the fingers and legs are crossed, but the time frame is short if it comes to the crunch it looks like all of the fish are sorted your response has been overwhelming it is in times of real adversity when real people stand up thank you to all mark

if you catch a fish in nz waters that is not under the quota system i imagine it will be legal to keep as there is no law to cover it and you didn't import it illegally

bring me back a silverback thanks bulldogod gotta have that attitude bedazzled otherwise life can be a drag, no i am not a transvestite

always lived my life as there are no ends just new beginnings have had a few local people down looking at our situation so your email may have worked sharkie david i think winnie has enough on his plate at the moment i have probably recieved 40 - 60 pms on this, so there are many caring people on here, lost a few out the bottom of my inbox before i could save them will try to house the fish as close as i can but i think i have replied to all pms if i haven't then pm again and kick my butt

still trying to sort out pms of who has offered what a home have 2.4 .6 x .6 with malawis and fronts - homed 2.1 x .9 x .75 2 aros and 7 birchirs ? 6 foot with jardini - homed i think 5 foot brackish ? 5 foot local marine - can always just release them 2 metre reef - maybe homed 40 big goldfish - need homing, currently in pond 5 water dragons - homed i think 6 blue tongues 3 bearded dragons - homed i think frogs can be released will release big pool of local marines and the big eels in freshwater pool then theres the parrots pair of ecclectus ring necks blue, white, grey, yellow and green lorrikeets, rainbow, scaley and musk barrabands, kings, alexandrines 2 pair greens and lutino 12 cockatoos, 1 galah 40 lovebirds then the pheasants etc may have a home for some of them then the mini highland cattle still more to list

been there done that sharkie, sometimes people are not what they seem thanks for the offer zabman, pm please so i can save your contact

you read it right david, that is the problem we had to move into 2nd tier finance at a high interest rate, that is the one that is pursuing us at the moment, it is a lot of money to find, though we have been trying for about 9 months

to my limited knowledge acriflavine is good for fungal but if you use it over an extended period it can lower fertility in your fish

a lot of people have made contact through pm ballistic and thanks to all who have offered a kind word or thought, it all means something

thank you everyone david my kidneys are good just the heart muscles that are damaged thank you for the offers of rehousing fish that have come in i have returned most so far if anyone wants to buy 7 acres in the city of tauranga give us a yell we want to keep the rest though this just goes to show that animal/fish lovers have good hearts thanks again, mark

You are quick off the draw guys, only just saw the paper myself I have been trying to write a post on this for a few days now, didn’t know how to word it Came on here to post about the situation and see I’ve been beaten to the gun Auction is next Thursday, we have been living a nightmare and fighting to find a solution to this since last November, but have been caught up in the collapse of finance companies in N.Z., rise in costs and general downturn in economy. No lenders would finance a zoo or wildlife park but they would finance a subdivision The finance company has been good up till now but i think they maybe in trouble so have put the big squeeze on us We may need some help housing some big fish and big tanks, anybody able to offer help please pm We have started process to subdivide and lower debt but will take another 6 weeks and the finance company won’t wait that long, we have a bank offer to lend us money but approval for subdivision from council is needed before bank advancing monies. And the wheels of commerce and consultants grind slowly We have spent money on chasing the zoo consent and are so close to achieving this, estimated costs by consultants just kept on blowing out the further we got into it Sadly we maybe should have concentrated on the commercial aspect of this project rather than the caring for injured and unwanted animals, but the only one good at hindsight is a Stag Thanks to you all, the words you have expressed mean a lot, maybe more than you imagine. Don’t know if I can post this address, remove please if needed, the park is at 9 Nature Place, Pyes Pa, Tauranga 3112 for those who want to know it. Whatever happens livingart will still be part of these forums and we will still be looking after animals and fish etc

i think the main ingredients in the cure were used as a medical dye, i maybe wrong use too much it will even stain your silicone and may even make it let go

if you have eaten surimi you may have eaten barracouta

wow thanks barrie i didn't know those 2 were having an affair agree with the rest of your post

hi phil, i understand about the cage rusting it is merely a temporary measure, plastic would be better than glass these fish have been living together for a few months now with no overt signs of agression the last week the smaller one has been more pushy with the larger one no bite marks but damage to the mucus layer on fish so seperated til it settles down back on topic, you always risk something when mixing predatory fish be it the other fish looking like food or territorial rights becoming an issuue

canaries make good live food joke finding 60cm plus aros is hard to do, they only come along every now and again

and you thought i was joking

no worries Aproph i stuck one in a birdcage

bummer dixon and caryls friend

yea right buy a fish instead

maybe just run the water through a fine mesh
