  1. saw them in auckland chain stores, probably slightly better in the flesh than the top photo. were 98 each up there so i left them alone, walked away and thought about them all the way back to tauranga though good luck with the growing and breeding
  2. i have used the nylex range on the smaller ehiem pumps now use the hansen range for 1 inch and up
  3. have been given a berlin skimmer , but it is missing the foam trap does anyone have one or know of availability and price, thanks mark
  4. when you set up your sand put a layer of a different colour down about 100mm (4 inches) when you see it on top you know they have dug and covered it up
  5. if he doesnt make it out by himself, it is probably too weak to survive any way alanmin4304 has it right on the yolk sac, can take up to a week to go, we feed the young, guppy fry and shaved oxheart to start off others may have different first foods good luck
  6. Aftershave keep water quality up and medication to inhibit fungal growth and bacterial buildup maybe salt, TLC or similar good luck
  7. would leave out centipedes and any white tail spiders but rest you've listed are ok how old is water drag
  8. WELCOME red arowanas are dearer than beardies
  9. love the beardies good photos especially the male your breeding with thanks for photos
  10. and got involved in the wildlife learn heaps b dude
  11. yes the fish world cup won 4 years ago by the red arowana team representing asia gold in the high and long jump combined event for Scarletti leapagrandis
  12. aviary, novalite 3 sides and roof, rollup zipped plastic fronts, under sand heating for ply hot boxes. fronts down on wet days, brought inside during colder months seems fine for beardies both species, blue tongues and waters when animals stay in hotboxes all day then time for indoors
  13. NO but their parents would be harmless
  14. so dimebag is a carpet stretcher yes a long piece of even 30 mm thick ply will bend but with with only 30mm sticking out each end you will be right. dont use mdf as stated it turns to poo when it gets wet, remember its basically just extra thick cardboard
  15. as Ianab said it depends on if stunting is environmetal or genetic genetic means that possibly some of the young will be stunted or carrying the gene Ryukin goldfish always look deformed to me but beauty is in the eye of the betrothed, sorry beholder
  16. maybe the thing it will do is give a bigger footprint so that the weight is dispersed all over instead of just in focal points if your worried evil get under the house with some tanalised 4x4 inch on a piece spread on ground and jamb under the joists for more support
  17. maybe they're here so they can back the winning team at the world cup
  18. just a few thoughts nz a smaller country smaller population smaller number of serious fish breeders smaller number of fish brought in smaller gene pool to work with, some species only come in in one shipment ? more chance of inbreeding ? more chance of sports or mutations occuring ? mutations of nz kakariki are being bred overseas for a few years now whereas in nz have only occured a few times, pieds and yellows your thoughts ?
  19. or something baaaaaaaaddddd 8)
  20. have 2 living happilyy in the big malawi tank, would have been lucky to be 2 cm when i got them now about 4 - 5 cm and happy as larry in there they sit on a rock and stare at you for ages, funny faces
  21. we breed miniature highland cows, kune kune pigs and bantams, it has taken over 12 years of selective breeding to achieve homozygous animals so we can guarantee animals are indeed miniature breeding a runt to a runt does not achieve this only producing probably inferior animals and some large ones in amongst them until he has reared these jags to mature age as you have all rightly stated the poos are indeed flowing
  22. looks like a cross between a snapping turt and a cogwheel turt nice turtle, is it a new discovery? fat whatever it is
  23. is it a possibility it had eaten something and blockage occured, stomach contents fermented causing the burst might have happened after fish died maybe, anus not working and bad stomach swelled up sorry just suggestions did it smell bad was rest of fish rotten heaps of questions 8) who smells a dead fish :oops: me to eliminate the aforementioned possibilities
  24. nice fish catch them fishing or diving? the young sanddagers is pretty is the perch the smallest groper in the world allports and butterfly perch next addition cheers mark
