have kept spiny dogfish, 3 spine, port jackson and nurse shark all young fish, you can keep these as they dont need constant movement to keep water passing over their gills, large tanks only other sharks cant handle square tanks as they bump glass if frightened and get stuck in corners, need constant forward motion to keep water passing through mouth small sharks don't have a problem with 6 foot plus tanks but it is cruel to keep the larger species in anything but 3,000 litre plus kept a young thresher for 6 weeks once then released,

we keep a few horses, some over 5 years now

one serious bend Evil will probably require a refit of front pain, misspelt purposely how long did you leave clamp on when you repaired brace, as it takes a while for silicon to fully cure, remember silicon is a sealant not a glue. how old is tank? from description seems like bottom silicon on front pane has been forced out by pressure of water when i have broken top brace before i have half emptied tank and replaced top brace completely hope this helps cheers mark

The anal fin is the small fin under the fish where the poo comes out, on a female it is shaped like a triangle, om a male it is shaped more like a pencil lead, hope that helps

looking good Rogan go tangs, fronts next are they, or too big?

Join herp society, keep commons for a couple of years, green could then be yours to look after, Rogan that open mouth is a smile, before you get the love bite!

we breed american and gisborne roaches have clear plastic lid on top full of small holes and zip sewn in, how often do you have to respray the silicon, sounds a lot easier

Hi Jo long time no Go

the spoken word can be denied but never the written word you can only deny both if your a politician

try 5 or 10 millimetre polystyrene taped to outside of tank on all sides of a night put piece on front and over top make an mdf (medium density fibreboard) hood you can paint the inside of the poly or use a background mdf enclosures with glass front seem to hold the heat more constantly than all glass aquaria

thanks for the answer nice to know cheers mark

was told it was a royal blue about 6 years old picked it up with a giraffe hap and bumble bee all males all 6 to 7 years old, also 4 x 5 year old electric yellow zebra crosses about 10cm long are female royal blues available?

yes it is david, bought him in auck 6 months ago for 120 dollars would like to pair it up

saw this on trade me http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Pe ... 652290.htm have a fish that looks the same picture below, to you more knowledgable people are they the same?

how do you sex these? i have read it is by the size of anal fin 14 inch fish below not a good photo though

hi David, do you know what sex the big one is, mark

saw your question so left it alone didnt i ? good score rogan

if it was a male it might be Patrick Guppy, the Man from Atlantis tv series a few too many years back

8) sorry did i msspell that. :oops: Field officers are mostly passionate about what they do, but further up the ladder the gums just flap. He who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw parties.

sadly Alan maybe some importers take advantage of that fact

that is a big guppy, some females do get very large overtime.

100% right on that David. if the smugglers set up proper quarantine facilities and pretested birds wouldnt have been a problem, more interested in selling the birds for a quick return at big dollars probably. stupid thing is if birds are imported and exported properly no problems, especially with dna testing etc. we could be breeding native birds, closed rung and certified, registered breeders. 1/3 progeny back to wild, 1/3 for breeding and 1/3 for export, all birds tested. the export birds would fill the overseas market and make it not worthwhile to smuggle, with some of profits going back to support conservation projects in nz, predator control, onshore islands etc. means the department of conversation would have funds to spend on conservation instead of spending it on supporting beauracracy Common sense is an endangered species

its a bit like breeding a white peacock i suppose, hard to do wouldnt it be a nice base for some of the other colour varieties though?

nice set up on the cube evil one are you going through the cubism period of your artistic expression?

pbfd was brought in on smuggled birds just a few years ago, so maybe there is a case for control. but then who inspects the migratory birds every year?
