Hi all just want to give a big thank you to Sharn at KiwiPetz. Great Gourami's, and yes they do have females from time to time. Great service Thanks Mal.

thanks every one. looking forward to getting back into it all.

A big thanks to Zev, thanks for the help to get on line. A killi fan and fancy pleco's.

Hi Rebecca, would love some pic's. How big was the show? Well done. Cheers Mal.

Hi I am looking for anybody who has any Threadfin Rainbows or info on where to purchase some please. I have a 500L tank well planted, just looking for something a little different for it. I have also thought of Celebes Rainbows. Cheers Mal. I am not sure if this is in the right place.

This is my understanding and experince. They take the warm air from your ceiling which has been heated by the sun's ray's and move the air around your house. I would recomend that you have the in line heater option with it, because if the air temp drops in your ceiling space you get the cold air coming down through the vents. I belive that all the systems are much the same HRV, Moisturemaster, DVS, the other and most cost effcient that I know is Home Tech. My parents have just put one in after having a DVS at there last two homes. The DVS was going to cost just over the 4K mark for a three bedroom house the Home Tech was $2,300.00 installed. Works well. They are not a heating option for your house, as on full heat they work on 4Kw only. You will need some other form of heating, heat pump's, gas, fireplace, etc... New homes with alumium windows have vent holes, as this was a major problem when they first came out many years ago. I hope this helps. Regards Mal.

thanks for the help. The eggs are out of the water but seem to be drying out. Mal.

I have a bunch of orange eggs that where on the side of my tank, my son has pushed them off and into the water. I have them sitting on top of the glass, on top of the tank at present. Will they be ok? What should I do with them? Your advise would be most helpful. I gather that they are apple snail eggs????? Mal.

thanks to evey body who has helped me. very helpful site and lovely people. Mal :bounce:

Very interesting reading has already been mention, how ever I would like to know more as I have had 4 cases of this, 2 of which was a pair of red Gouramis which gutted me, all in the space of a week, and from three different tanks?? Does it only spread once the fish has died???

No luck, checked on them this morning and the bubble nest has broken up. Not to sure what has happened, but will try again. I think a smaller tank less water and no filter. We have been doing some research on the fourm and seems we need to make some changes. Who knows we will see if any have survived. We will keep trying gutted though. Mal.

I have a pair of Cobolt blues, and they are both a very nice blue, and apart from the size the dorsal fin is the only difference. So In a few cases the females are as pretty!

Yes I think they are different, as I have a pair of honey which a very light yellow then I have 4 others which are a deeper yellow but still not the Golden yellow, well at this stage they are still fairly young. By the way, I have a pair of cobolt blue gouramis which I have just separated the female after spawning, Is it safe too leave my 3 clown loaches in tank?

Yeah great, congrats evil. I hope all goes even better with the new breeding centre. Thanks Barrie, I will be in touch with you re killies. Mal.

well I have not even set up my breeding station yet, so have had all my killies in a 900mm tank for six months now. I have moved some Indian fern and I have seen my first young this morning. It is about 8mm long with the Dagati strips all ready showing, doing very well. Just good luck as I have done nothing at all with them. Thanks Tim for the stock, I will be getting some more. Mal.

grest shots, look like they are very happy. Do you have other types of killies? Mal

Welcome, It is a great site with plenty of people offering to help and answer questions. I have enjoyed the help and friendly advise. Mal.

I feed mine bloodworms and white worms along with water fleas. They really go there live food, keep it up to them and they will ay like crazy. I agree with the others around the 22 deg's and mops. All the best. Mal

Thanks everybody I will do my homework and see what I come up with. Mal

I have had no problems. Mal Not sure what is happening maybe not enough food>

need some help to put some photos on to the forum. I havethem on my computer, but not sure how to post them. Your help would be great thanks. Mal. :-?

I would say best to have a min of 6 best around 10 of the same as they will school with there own kind. Then depends on the size of fish, like neons you can have 20 or more. Mal.

I am new in havelock north have purchased of tim thru trade me. Great guy would recomend to anybody. Very helpful. Great fish room and always happy to answer any questions. Mal.

there are a few large glass panels down here. They must of cme out of the old aqurium in Napier. Not sure of cost but they are about 30mm - 40mm thick about 1200mm high x 4 -5 meters long. Don't quote me on this but if you are interested I could find out for you and contact numbers. Very very very heavy. Mal.

I have been to the lfs. They are happy to look after him/her for me. I do need more tanks and bigger ones but money doesn't grow on trees. The kids would love me to keep it. The lfs said that the filter is a good one, but yes Oscar's do make a bit of a mess. So until I get a bigger tank set up he/her will be at the lfs. Just checked on him/her and he is upright and moving slowly from time to time. Thanks again to those you have help. Mal.
