Poor male Krib :tears: Yeah I want a tank like what phoenix44 has and I'll raise the fry in a seperate tank. I'll try and breed large amounts so I can sell them in groups of 15-25 or more and have a good price on them. I emailed Organism two days ago to see if they have the H. caudalis and they haven't got back to me yet.

Yay, guess what? Flooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooofie update :love: :happy1: Floofies are now 33 days old and they fledged from the nest this morning! :happy1: It was funny watching them flying around. They are ever so clumsy :lol: It just adds to their cuteness factor :love: Here's a good pic. Enjoy

I'm thinking Whiptails, Queen Arabs, Blue Phantoms, Tiger Peckoltia L002, Dekeyseria brachyura L168 and some type of fancy unusual Bristlenose species. For tetras I really only want to breed Hyphessobrycon heliacus and Hemigrammopetersius caudalis at the moment. And Dwarf Cichlids - Wild Kribs and as many Apistos as possible that I can get my hands on

I don't have the room for it (only allowed 2 tanks max, and a hospital tank which is pushing it... Currently I only have 1 set up and I'm looking after a friend's tank). I've decided to grow plants and breed some species of Dwarf Cichlids and some Tetras and maybe some Fancy Plecos. I need to stop putting off getting my breeding tank :roll: I can't decide what sort of overflow I want for the sump :roll: :lol:

Wow very cool article Send it to Caryl so it can go in the Aquarium World magazine It definately inspires me to breed bettas if I ever get a fishroom I don't get all this joke/teen egos stuff. But its fun to read all those random posts

I think if you are going to rate them, only say how well they school and the ease of keeping, and even the price of them. And probably don't use stars - just say for example - ease of keeping: moderate, schools losely, price: $7-$10. Don't rate apperance or shape because that is your opinion. Some people probably think these fish are very ugly. Personally I think they are very cool though I don't get the pirana thing; their heads look kind of like a pirana's head, but there isn't really much of a resemblance. They look more like silver dollars if I had to compare them with something. Otherwise, great article Try and improve it, then send it off to Caryl so it can go in the Aquarium World magazine

Yeah I went with Caryl on that expidition. I think it was diadromous Common Bullies and a Redfinned Bully that we saw, plus whitebait and Giant/Banded Kokopu. I went back to that same stream about a month afterwards and was upset to see that there were a couple of Kokopu covered in fungus and cottony white stuff :tears: It will be fun looking for Upland Bullies :happy1: I read your article in the Aquarium World, "A brief introduction to native fish" or something like that, and you said that you found some Upland Bullies that had a green stripe on the dorsal fin. These sound really cool! I hope I find some like that :bounce:

smilies :roll: :evil: :happy2: :oops: :lol: 8) :nilly: !drool: :love: :facepalm: :bounce: :happy1:

Yes my friend wants lots of ferns and mossy stones, which should be OK because of all the trees around the pond. Lilaeopsis ruthiana looks really good Thanks blueether I wouldn't mind some for my aquarium So does anyone know where I can get these Upland Bullies?

Thanks guys. There are already heaps of trees around the pond, and it doesn't recieve afternoon sun, only in the morning and midday. Right I'll have to try and find a source of Upland Bullies. Do you know where any are Stella? Blueether, Cran's Bullies are out as they are found only in the North Island. My friend and I live in Blenheim. Smelt and Inanga sound good, and so do Banded Kokopu. Are there any sort of Potomogeton species that might be suitable? Or any species of Lilaeopsis? Are there any plants that look like natives, but aren't, that might do well? My friend also wants moss to grow on the side of the pond and a bit in the water. Would Xmas moss or Java moss be good for an outdoor pond? I think it would be nice if there was a bit of a current. There should probably be good filtration on the pond - what filter will be best? If possible nothing over $1000 though

If its low in fertilizers then what's the point in it? :facepalm: :roll: :lol: Stick to Dalton's Aquatic Mix or get JBL AquaBasis Plus.

Wow I love it But please take that poor Blue Ram out I feel so sorry for the little fella

Hi guys, I have a friend who wants to set up a native freshwater pond. It is approxiamtely 4m in diameter and is about 60cm at its deepest point. They want to grow ferns around the side, and I suggested they stock it with Upland Bullies and some species of Galaxias (these are non-diadromous so they are able to breed in the pond). I suggested smooth cobbles and gravel, and some sand, for the substrate. The pond is in an area where it gets sun for most of the day. It has that black plastic stuff on the bottom, and a beautiful mini strean for the water to flow into it (this isn't quite finished yet). I have some questions though: Is the fish choice suitable? What sort of pond filter is best (something durable and good-quality)? For bio-media I suggested Fluval BioMax. What flow rate should the pump be? Native fish like a moderate to strong current right? What sort of native freshwater plants will be suitable? (both bog plants and fully submersable plants) Thanks, Joe

Definately!

Try and find out what it was. We'd love to hear I only know of JBL Florapol, AquaBasis Plus, Manado, Seachem substrates, and Dalton't Aquatic Mix.
