lol awatapu lagoon?? youd probably get a eel over a fish in there though i have wondered about fising in there before.... lol good luck though mate, if your over these ways drop by animal antics on hewletts road, they pretty good, always been good to me anyway, rather than some national chaoin stores that we have....... grrrr....

Thanks guys, afrikan, DOH! should of searched fnzas first i guess! lol and camnbron, thats exactly what i was trying to find earlier! thanks alot guys!

hey there everyone, im currently doing part of my aquaculture assignment, and i need to find information on a possible aquaculture species, and i was wanting to do something ornamental since im the only fish-keeper in my class (shocking really ) and i was wondering if anyone could direct me in the direction of a fish that may be hard to breed or indeed extinct/endangered in in the wild. my thought immediately turned to bangaii cardinals, but it seems that information on thier breeding is limited, well, what ive attempted to research so far. and most of it seems to be in forums, funny enough! so any information/ideas would be great! and what better then the collective brain of FNZAS!

indeed! i thought there was a hellava breeding chase going on last night, so i sat there watching, then realised it was made up of males.... DAM! lol all that excitement and getting out of bed for nothing! especially since saturday was my 21st!! lol

this is exactly the reason that as soon as im done with marine bio, im doing a mechanic course! lmao cant stand rip-offs and being told that i need work done that costs x when the actual cost to me could be more like in the d area.... lol

YUSSS! another whakatanean! lol though im not there much, just come down to see family and friends mostly, but theres a coupel of us on the forums, so drop us a buzz if you needa hand bro!

im trying my hand at breeding them at the moment, doesnt help that i lost a couple due to God knows what.... lol aparently i read somewhere that they can be triggered to breed by letting the nitrates build up abit then doing a big water change, i guess the rainwater has the same effect lol

bumper sticker: i dont have a drinking problem! i drink i get drunk i fall down NO PROBLEM! a man walks down the street and sees a sign advertising $1 drinks at the pub, so he walks in and asks the bartender where the manager is and why the drinks are so cheap, he says that "the manager is upstairs and what hes doing to my wife im doing to his business!" what do you call a midget with a gun? Sir! So in the garden of Eden Adam was looking pretty bummed out, so God says to him "whats the matter Adam, you've got food beautiful animals around you, what more do you want?" Adam says to God " yeah its all great but ive got no-one to share it with..." so God says, "well, ive got an idea, this thing ill make for you will cook for you, clean for you, never talk back, always be happy to see you, look after everything for you, and please you every night..." Adam gets excited and says "thats great! but whats it going to cost me!?" God says " well, how bout an arm and a leg?" Adam thinks about it and says "what will you give me for a rib?"

at least its a good move as for the tv.... if in doubt, get a mover... lol

watchout ladies, big spender here, mothers tie up your daughters :P:P ontopic again, might haveto make a roadtrip outta it.... funny how i always think of roadtrip destinations but never get to go on one... :oops:

that dial is a air bleed, you open it up and pull it to get teh air that is causing your block out, but be sure that you can close it again real fast otherwise it may flow out and get you some more.... lol welcome to teh wonderful world of fishkeeping where you put your body, sanity and wallet on the line, lol

ive got a aqua one, always had em and they always worked for me, even when my canister wasny shut properly and it got soaked, if you get the biger sizez they also come with a switch to turn them down if you wanted etc...

u should become a mariney mate, lol, alot like the animal course but way cooler

im doing marine studies year 2 at BOP POLY, drop me a PM gannet, we should catchup, actually youll end up going with the year 1's to auckland this year, pretty wicked trip...

i work in produce for a large chain of stores, what i find funny is when people ask you if you have something, and when you say you dont they huff and stomp off like its your personl fault! or like one woman came in just before christmas and wanted brussel sprouts, they were out of season (only just got them in last week) and she had a huge yell at me how her christmas would be ruined without brussel sprouts.... :-? :roll: oooo and the banana lady! she comes in every week and complains that our bananas are too yellow or too green!! we try to explain that we have no control over what dispatch sends us, but again its our fault... the other thing: when customers say things really loud so that you hear them complaining but they wont actually say anything to your face... ie: "WOW, LOOK AT THE PRICE OF THOSE!!!" and then expect you to rush over and instantaneously drop it down to half price just because you overheard them.... i think all our work would be alot easier and better without customers...

so my question becomes, who here doesnt do valentines day? i know that i certainly dont go all out, i got my girl a bunch of flowers etc yea, but i feel that if im going to take her out, it would mean so much more any other time of the year, but when shes expecting it at valentines it kinda kills the surprise abit... am i right??

am i missing summin? whos mr.amano?? :-? :lol:

boiling can also change the colour of shells. just as a note

lets do our abcs big bird... a,b,c, erm... f, q........ i forgot what we were doing krammit. :bounce: :lol:

touche madam pussy cat! i think i should clarify, i have nuthing against auckland people, i just cant stand teh place, personal POV, apologies to those offended... if any

(thisll get me in troouble 8) :lol: ) :evil: WHO WANTS TO LIVE IN AUCKLAND!! :evil: i cant stand visiting the place, let alone living there! its all chaotic and gross! i love tauranga, all teh big shops etc without being overboard with congestion and people. plus teh beach!!! and the beach bunnies! and i have 2 tanks, one 4 ft 200l community and a small breeder tank that im going to attempt to get long-fin leopard danios doing there thing in... they are the most awesome fish ive seen for ages....
