typical nz law easier to kill something than it is to keep it :roll:

there is a koura and salmon aquaculture place in blenheim it is for sale on same site maybe where they came from

you can take the bigger out to increase survival rate if you have plenty of rockwork some may survive any way

2 aros together you may be lucky 1 at 35cm other at 10cm, you may need to be luckier have 65cm and 80cm in 1400 liytres still have the occasional spat the small one starts it 8)

don't forget when buying the coloured asian ones you need to buy the lights as well to make them look good

snap i win

you can no longer import the jardini, asian and south american aros are still on the allowed list

no longer on the allowed import list Scleropages jardinii - Common name: Australian Pearl Arowana Origin: northen Australia; New Guinea Scleropages Leichardti - Common name Spotted bonytongue, Spotted barramundi Origin: River system of central-eastern Queensland; Australia

nice looking unit

could be an expensive excercise good luck maybe dog has more plastic than nikki watson

if you have some from the same spawning, pair it up with those if breeding to a normal colour and you get no colour in the offspring, then keep the offspring till mature and breed to one or more of those good luck

your first spawning will give you an idea of how the gene is passed on

will depend how the gene is inherited

well done dixon, it is becoming clearer i use an air stone on gently or let mum do the job

tumbler - type of pigeon, acrobat in the circus, drinking glass, for polishing semi precious stones, somebody who gets drunk and falls over all the time for africans maybe put them in the front loading washing machine and take them for a spin or maybe a negroid acrobat sorry haven't heard the term used before

living waters gone picka pet new name maybe papamoa pets or palm beach plaza new name Petrix 07 5742268

Love that one :lol: told to me by one of the guys who saved the kunekune pig from dissapearing

its insides will be clean watch for signs of the dog being off colour, also may get the runs you could give it some milk to maybe help the small quantity possibly ingested maybe all right but if concerned ring the vet as you said

thanks for that smidey this is not the only example of breeding from a very limited gene pool of animals so long as the originals were strong genetically many generations can be bred off them with no problems all the white tigers in the world come off 1 wild specimen man has mucked them up by inbreeding too much to ensure they get the white ones, worth more also have hybridised the bengal with siberian as a consequence it is hard to find a pure strain of these nowadays

good links david line breeding can be done to fix a colour strain or if you have no other fish of that species to breed with usually mother to son or father to daughter, then grandfather to granddaughter etc. or siblings together if you have on ly one male and several females you breed with one female then use male offspring to breed to the other available females lines need to be kept seperate to ensure as much diversity as possible watch for increases in deformities or weakness in young or lowering of fertility if it works its called line breeding, if it doesn't work its called inbreeding

thanks, they eat hair algae too

parents were adult when wild caught don't know life expectancy though longest i have had one was 4 years

didn't even realise they had bred till cleaning out tank feed live mysis and pods once a week

have some local crested blennies that were bred in the old FOWLR system we had running eldest coming up 2 years and 3 youngest now 1 year old original tank was coldwater marine and couldn't catch the blennies out of the rock when we converted to tropical adults died after one year at warm temps when we pulled tank apart to put aros in we found 7 young cresteds in there so have kept them tropical since
