Hi all (especially Caryl, Alan, Pegasus, Cess, Goldie, TC, Andrew, Dennis, sorry if I missed out any of you older-forum members
,After a very long no posting period I'm now back. What a hectic 2004! After selling up and only keeping my display tank, I'm now looking at setting up two NZ tanks - a saltwater NZ tank and a freshwater. Any help on these 2 would be VERY much appreciated.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know
Chris.

I disagree with CHRIS.L he said near the start of this forum, that platy have between 30 and 40 fry. I apologise for being picky about the subject but my platy tend to give birth to between 100-150 fry every 4 weeks.
I've never heard of a platy giving that much fry ?

Totally lame
I sell a lot through TradeMe and if that happened to me I would be complaining to TradeMe. -
Huh?
I think he wants some of the pearls

come early if you can and say hi to everyone :lol:
I don't think I could be there at 6am

Hehe, is that at Auckland airport?? I might see you take off if it is
I have to be there at 9.00am to pick something up that is getting sent from Christchurch -
When does everyone fly out
?Have fun! Wish I was coming

Am in Auckland now. Cold and wet day. Trip up was uneventful and boring since all we could see was grey
Met a couple of our club members at the airport. They had flown in from Wgtn. The Downs family are here and apparently headed into town to shop.
Will wait for the others to arrive later.
I'll be at the airport later on today!

Oh o, Alans getting e-bashed
!In other news - that was a VERY bad reply breakaway. If you don't care about your fish - why did you get them? It's really disappointing seeing someone ask for advice, the whole community (almost) tells them to get rid of the fish, you leave it there, another one eats it and it could spread.
With an attitude like that, no one will give you advice because what's the point if it goes in one ear and out the other?

Here's what I found on the internet. Search for Fish Tuberculosis and it'll bring heaps of results on http://www.google.com
TuberculosisA specimen with Tuberculosis usually shows little signs of the disease at first. It may feed normally but will lose weight as its internal organs start to become damaged. Sometimes, skin nodules develop which soon ulcerate and in some cases, causes popeye (though popeye should not be regarded as Tuberculosis). Fish Tuberculosis can actually infect humans and strict sanitary conditions should be observed though only a small chance of serious internal infection exists. There are no medications currently available to treat infected fish and all fish infected should be euthanized. All fish in the same environment should be removed from the tank and placed in a hospital tank where they can be watched. All affected materials can then be cleaned, disinfected and reassembled though in a reef tank, when should basically not add any additional live stock to the setup for a period of a month or two while observing livestock for signs of disease.

Do you have the dimensions of the 1000 litre? Thanks
-
How much are the 1000L tanks??
-
Yeah, But I just cant figure out why my neons arent schooling anymore ?
It might be because you don't have enough, but it look like you have added a few fish over the last week or so, so I wouldn't add anymore..
The pics/tank is looking good

Hey guys, This is my first post in this forum.
I would like to suggest a good marine shop in the central north island -Rotorua. That has a good stock of fish and corals and fish supplies. and have shipments coming in all the time. There tanks are always clean and healthy and would recommend this shop to anyone passing through Rotorua. They are called Wonderworld Aquarium & Pet Centre and are located at 82 Clayton Road in Rotorua. I think they use to be the aquarium place located in kuirau park a few years back.
Thanks for the heads up. I was not aware that there was an aquarium place there. I will check it out when I next head up that way.
Cheers!

Actually, it's the other way around, slightly underrated would tend to cycle less.
A 50W heater, working on a tank that requires 100W would work more than a 150W heater in a tank that needed only 100W..

They're about the size of a 50 cent coin! Very small
-
At least red eared turtles are cute
Heard a few bad stories about RET, so I decided to get the more peaceful snake-necks
-
Not quite fish related, but they're freshwater and they don't have a special forum for them (
). Here's the 3 Snake-Necks (Phew, I didn't spell it snack-necks that time!) that I received on Friday.
-
Where abouts do you live?
-
Great idea!! how about a cold water marine, local rockpools etc could be a good learning curve and at least if things look a bit seedy you can put them back!
I'm doing one of these when my tank becomes ready. Was going to do one in a 1500mm long tank, but though otherwise
-
They're worth $1

Lovely pics
When I read the title, I thought one had passed away I wish my camera had an option to disable the flash

Setting up an NZ Freshwater tank
in Freshwater
Posted
Hi all,
I'm going to be setting up an NZ Freshwater tank in the very near future and have some questions.
Would it be possible to have an eel, and if so, what do these eat? I wouldn't want a large one.
Would it be possible to have the freshwater crays etc in with fish or would they be likely to eat them? I don't really mind about this aslong as the fish are free (
What kind of current would I need, if any?
Anything to stay well clear of (illegal etc)?
Any help would be mucho appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris.
