maybe they're here so they can back the winning team at the world cup

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 ?

or something baaaaaaaaddddd 8)

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

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

looks like a cross between a snapping turt and a cogwheel turt nice turtle, is it a new discovery? fat whatever it is

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

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

can send some gisbornes how many mark

i only open my mouth to change feet

probably one of the natives then, they don't tend to come inside

good page to roaches in nz http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/resea ... onomic.asp doesn't say anything about their taste though some of the darker ones have a funny smell though and have seen the beardies spit them out at first then eat them

please define red :oops: there are a few beardies displaying varying amounts of red available in nz this is a good site for beardie colour morphs http://www.dachiu.com/gallery/pix2.html price from 500 to ?????? depending on how red because of the smaller gene pool in nz mutations are starting to pop up

java moss, i have plenty if you want some, free pm we are on tga side of bridge

Australian rules are basically the same as nz reference below http://www.amonline.net.au/factSheets/reptiles_pets.htm used to be different from state to state like USA but now all are same I think ceolanth (spelling on purpose) was trying to get a point across without being heavy handed. if the aussie authorities were watching this forum the bearded dude might get a visit though like nz the odd young person is allowed to pass under the radar when its not a big operation beardy dude it is not hard to get a license and join a local herp society then no one can ever take your charges off you, that would be sad speaking of technicalities in the eyes of the law ignorance of the law is no excuse. and the drunk (legless) lizard is still wild caught, no matter who caught it i do speak from experience of losing some lizards that technically were allowed in nz :evil:

got to agree with the fossil fish and ecology student ( davidb ) tuatara the living dinosaur, not a lizard or really a dinosaur lizards are a more modern occurence

like the layout diagram evil, what program did you use?

nice legless beardie dude what age is he?, about 1 - 2 years? have always though they shoulded be call stumped lizards sadly snookie its happening all over the world might happen in nz in the next 20 - 30 years :evil:

could you sandwich moss between 2 sheets of that material

mongabay good site, thanks do we have any Zebra Haplochromis (Haplochromis obliquidens) in nz :-? :-?

whitebait season is here so you can get local and return local when finished, mine eat mealworms white worms aphid bits of raw prawn etcc as well as cichlid pellets

have you got some on offer?

thanks snookie would need larger fish as the ornate is about 14 inches, but he has left the pair of kribs alone so far the senegals are one at 6 inch and the albino about 7 inch

have a 2.4m x 60cm x 60cm tank, riversand base and lots of drift wood, fish in residence are 3 bichir, pair of kribs, pair of jewel cichlid, am using java fern, java moss, tiger lotus, and xmas moss, a large sword and 1 anubius at the moment. would like to set up an african biotope around the bichir any suggestions as to plants and fish to complement this would be appreciated also have large red spot plec to swap

yes we feed crickets no they haven't nibbled on the dragons crickets breed in the water dragons enclosure
