welcome to the addiction

thanks mr bromeliad forgot that i posted it before :oops: different one

this is a female, i've only got the one with this pattern, no related ones either any ideas on what to breed it with to enhance the markings any thouights are appreciated I thought maybe white or golden male?

forget the sand and usesome grass carpet then a lot less trouble in the end, can give it natural substrate when its bigger

nice looking dragons guys barbatas are bigger, darker more heavily marked and as broms said harder to come by over here life is bliss when the temp is right

landscape supplies, some councils don't allow you to take sand fromthe beach 8)

beautiful fish Billaney

Hi you can try cleaning driftwood with a waterblaster, leaves a natural appearance have had trouble with dark wood in the past releasing colouration into the tank, after a year in a bathtub outside it was good white woods tend to rot pretty fast mark

Duncan how does the anal fin on yours stackup with davidRs or our one

nice looking fish, stomach looks either full or well fed what size or age do they breed at mark

similar to one of the aussie angels, used to catch them on great barrier reef and sell to wholesalers look better when they're young the adults change the spot depending on their mood the two spot demoiselle is nice too, some of them having a lot of blue or yellow on them

2 links to the fish, bottom one shows fish we used to keep http://www.seafriends.org.nz/issues/res ... g3fish.htm www.aqua-photography.com/NEW%20ZEALAND.htm

found at mayor island can catch adults on very small barbless hooks with pipi on hook, young ones are pretty, nice yellow with almost neon blue dots and dashes all over the bodt, caught them with a suck gun, oversized clear perspex bicycle pump with a diaphragm valve on end made at work they hide in crevices in the rocks, used to catch two spot demoiselle, big eye and the odd yellow tail blue damsel that way as well some of the triple fins and clingfish were amazing too i used to spend every weekend in the water or fishing for about 3 years so a lot of time was spent searching the rockpool life is amazing with weedfish and triplefins and crustaceans just as good as tropical marine but different, you got it yourself and maybe spent time with family doing it http://www.fishbase.gr/Summary/SpeciesS ... p?id=12465

set up a large local tank in restaurant down at the fishing club, which got it known to local fishers what i was doing also kept splendid and allports perch, red banded grouper banded perch pig fish soldier wrasse sanddaggers wrasse john dory lizard fish goat fish red moki a painted moki demoiselles local angel fish always wanted a boar fish never got one most were released back to the sea, lost some too to inexperience but did a better job the next time round (learning curve)

sorry no shark pics, was about 15 years ago and more, too busy with the passion and excitement of it all used to go out on fishing trips and bring back any oddities we came across. used to have a syringe and needle for emptying swim bladders that blew up from rapid trip to the surface on some types of fish. first shark (thresher) came off a commercial fishing boat brought to me out of a netted catch, went to the local wharves and asked boat captains if they could keep any good stuff they brought in, cost me a few beers or bottle of bourbon set up plastic drum on its side with 12 volt bilge pump for flow and crew would pump new water in for me every 30 mins or so caught dog fish in the harbour at certain times of the year, i think they come in to spawn helped Harold at early wonderworld shop in rotorua with set up for local freshwater, they had a large concrete trough with a window in it and kept some large fish in there, big Kingies even

an incredible amount of work sorting old threads, would take someone with dedication and a passion to see changes made.

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
