  1. singer sewing machine oil maybe there is a good thread on the forum somewhere on cutting glass found it http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/cuttin ... 23378.html

  4. it can live with the kahwai, parore, koheru, mao mao, spotties etc. once it gets to 2 metres i can put it back
  5. dogfish type could do with some substrate but they will move it around get the plastic water tank when you are finished with the shark or it has got too big give me a yell
  6. possibly could from the dust in it
  7. you could run a chiller to help in summer months especially if your dealing with the pelagic species
  8. In australia they are talking of putting pictures of damaged livers on bottles of alcohol, big outcry from the wine brigade complaining that it would not be nice to have the picture at the dinner table or while eating a meal at a restaurant
  9. if you are going to take away cigarettes on display because they harm us, then you need to take away advertising for anything else that has the potential to cause us harm fatty foods, alcohol, soft drinks, fast cars, potato chips etc. bit lame but add to the others
  10. from my experience the dogfish are more tolerant of water conditions than the pelagic species are

  16. sorry, but banned by erma, http://www.ermanz.govt.nz/no/aboutno/banned.html
  17. I'll take three live ones thanks repto
  18. as i understand sharks dog fish are best, for the pelagic species you need a rounder tank with no caves to get stuck in, they are not good at reversing and need to be always moving forward to keep the gills working especially young ones used to transport them back in a 200 litre drum on its side, with top cut out bilge pump with flow directly over sharks snout or tape the hose in their mouth
  19. port jacksons are sometimes caught in nz waters list of shark species in nz http://www.teara.govt.nz/EarthSeaAndSky ... ndard/2/en when you catch them remember i have a 10,000 litre saltwater pool
  20. to go with the dogbox if you didn't get the cat
  21. when i was racing pigeons my arms got tired i used to pluck to replace broken flights on my best racers
  22. plucking when done properly is a seemingly painless experience it takes me about 1 to 2.5 mins to handle and clip a pet parrot which involves clipping about 1/3rd of each wing
  23. Hi Mel sorry your not in this area or i would do them for you wing clipping should only involve the primary flight feathers and if done properly, ie: along the line of secondary feathers will not involve any blood feathers a proper clipping will stop your pet bird from flying into windows or out the door and still allow it to land safely plucking flights and wing clipping can be dangerous if not done by an experienced person cutting a flight feather means it will not grow back until the next moult a plucked feather is usually replaced in a few weeks P.S. i do about 40 birds sometimes twice a year
