1080 kills everything that breathes oxygen, it is still effective months after being dropped. It is NOT just used where accesss is difficult . It is on walking tracks, private property, and in our waterways. I have not seen anything on TV about it. I don't watch much TV. I have been in the bush. I read and listen to people that are out there, yes it has had a benificial short term effect in some places, but , to think that there is NO alternative to its indiscrimanate use is wrong. please, there is some mis-information and flawed "science" used by the very people who are profiting from this, and they are the ones charged with protecting OUR resourses. Apart from some "haka" bits in the film , there is some content that realy does make a good case for stopping the amount of this stuff we are using.

Bronze Dragon you need to get your facts right before you get so bolshie. Yes there is a lot of film of native birds eating dropped baits. 1080 poisoning is horrific and a truely nasty way to prolong a death.

No longer a fence sitter!! Ariel dropping of 1080 is WRONG. Please if you have any feelings for New Zealand Wild life and bush, see this DVD."Poisoning Paradise-Ecocide in New Zealand" It is an eye opener. I wasn't the only one to wipe away tears at times.

Hamills in Manukau are screening this tonight. Anyone else going? I'm a fence sitting, closet greenie,feral cat hating hunter myself.

Have you tried the publisher or the NZ distributer? The best TV motoring show" ..in...the.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................World."

There are three of them, plus common old bristlenose ,too

After much deliberation I have decided to let these on to a better home..also bn as well....PM offers maybe $30 ea, bn's $10 ?

Nice Ryan, you have handled yourself and this situaton very well. That is one more "trader" not to deal with.

I have seen similar spiders in the bush at the Archery club up here. Also at Leigh . Always just thought of them as "wolf" or "huntsman" spiders....cool ones though. OK to handle, but they tend to run FAST up arms and into loose sleeves! Will get big enough to spread out over my whole palm.

AHHH. Bullet caps and white walls...THATS classic!

If the first fish have paired up you might not be able to stop them from driving off the second ones, especialy if the first ones are larger or older. Good luck though..cool fish.

They are now showing signs of breeding!! Cuckoos they are not.

NZ Petrolhead magazine....has advertisers than can answer all your questions.(and it is FREE)

Gag!!!! Choke!!! What are those UGLY photos!!! I'm with you, Bulldog.. we must be born before 1980 eh!

Smidgey, watch out with the fully suppressed centerfire rifles..they get HOT with repetitive shots. Hunting fine though. I have just picked up a BRNO 8mm, sporterised preWW2 Bolt gun. BIG bang , kicks hard and groups the size of a car tyre at 100m ,fun but!

How big? and how urgent? I have family there. Up and down occasionly

Thanks Firenzenz, I think the fish I have are not true S.decora , but hybrid. Planetcatfish shows a picture of them identical to these. Mine do not have a long filiment off the dorsal fin. Unfortunately there is scarce info on preferred pH , temp etc. But all that aside, they were a present from my wife, so they are kinda special and I would find it hard to part with them.

Yes, they are cool fish. Still have my three after selling the 500lt tank. I will need to re-house them soon

I think .22's are like fishtanks....one just doesn't seem enough.Oh ,then add the new rimfire calibers .17HMR and .17Hm2 and then .22Mag and so on and so on....

rimfirecentral.com and nzfc.co.nz (shooting and football)also too much YouTube!

Massey? uh, not the West Auck. one then?? :oops:

How would you maintain a tank 1.5-2m deep? On scuba? LOL. Ambitious project. Hope it all goes well. Show pics, please.
