  1. 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
  2. thanks for the answer nice to know cheers mark
  3. 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?
  4. yes it is david, bought him in auck 6 months ago for 120 dollars would like to pair it up
  5. 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?
  6. 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
  7. hi David, do you know what sex the big one is, mark
  8. saw your question so left it alone didnt i ? good score rogan
  9. if it was a male it might be Patrick Guppy, the Man from Atlantis tv series a few too many years back
  10. 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.
  11. sadly Alan maybe some importers take advantage of that fact
  12. that is a big guppy, some females do get very large overtime.
  13. 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
  14. 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?
  15. nice set up on the cube evil one are you going through the cubism period of your artistic expression?
  16. 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?
  17. how about a 200 litre sump with a 6500lph pump ultimate flowrate for your tank set up
  18. eggs cant be rotated after the first blood vessels start to form inside as this tears them and egg dies have had snakeneck eggs laid in water the previous night and rolled around in tank, taken out and not set in hatching medium until 48 hours later hatch
  19. many lay people have no idea of the volume of their tank might need to include a "calculator"
  20. i remember that shop, felt ripped off too
  21. same some money and keep the fish in the bucket
  22. Have in the past got a picture or background i liked and went into copy centre and got them to repeat it and laminate, need some one who can handle bigger images and laminating, also will cost more but they print photos onto vinyl for signs, billboards or promotional cars, will do up to 60cms wide by as long as you like, i have been paying $60 per square metre in the past shop around, yellow pages signwriters look on internet for image you like, will have to be a high resolution though maybe one of the forum teckies would know exact DP.....I dots per inch?
  23. maybe we scared him off Closed 3:16 pm, Mon 9 Jul. This auction used auto-extend. This auction was withdrawn by the seller before the expiry date. Auction Number: 108139106 or did the tank get busted?
  24. the axolotl burgers are nice
  25. probably the cat, with the damaged top the cat was being a cat, we no longer keep a cat newts are excellent climbers on glass they use the dampness of their body to suck onto the glass even upside down for a short distance can travel a long way but dust and fluff are a killer
