  1. sorry - I don't know of anyone coming from South Auckland way
  2. haha yeah I suck at keeping red lotus happy
  3. the space looks fine to me - very nice tank! (sorry!) maybe a red lotus if you really want to put something there
  4. Oh oh oh can I do the submersed indian fern? :bounce: The plant known as red pine is a bit hard to take photos of but I can probably send you an average photo I still need to go through my photos and see what else I can send you.....
  5. this might have been covered earlier in the thread - and it's just my opinion - but since you spent so much effort getting the apistos, why risk them with any additives like CO2 or fertilizers? I know you are only allowed a couple of tanks and you love plants as much/more than fish, but if I had expensive fish then I wouldn't be adding anything to the tanks that wasn't really needed... but then again I'm quite risk averse :lol:
  6. This probably wasn't your point LivingArt, but does it matter what the motive is? I saw those fish in Melbourne.... they are really cool!!!
  7. I think that might be because someone's holding the back of its head to take the photo.... poor kitty!

    yeah, it's quite nice not having frosts (or only having very light frosts that most people wouldn't call frosts!). The stargrass survived outside all winter. Hmmm that's given me an idea - maybe I'll try putting some swords outside too.....

    It's summer and in auckland so it's not too cold They get lots of light so I imagine that keeps the plants happy. It's fun chucking plants from my tanks in my ponds and seeing if they survive. I also have stargrass growing emersed in a pot outside - it's not in the water at all. See, there are some benefits in living in Auckland :lol: (almost makes up for the humidity, the mosquitoes and all the traffic....etc)

    Thank you Yes the second pic is a water lily. I'll try taking a photo of the Ranunculus. I can't remember what kind it is... I'll have to see if I still have the plant tag :oops:

    I noticed this when I got home today and it cheered me up after a crappy day at work: (it's stargrass - quite exciting as I haven't had it flower before ) Here's another photo which I quite like:
  16. cool good to see it survived the earthquake okay!
  17. sorry to hear that work sucks sometimes. 12 years is a long time. what kind of work do you do?
  18. Just bring baby with you - I'm sure there'll be lots of willing volunteers to babysit
  19. I have pics of a flower from one Not sure I have any photos of the plant. It's at the back of the tank so it's hard to photograph.
  20. when you grow courgettes just to feed your bristlenose
  21. yep I've been - it's awesome! if you head up there, go to goat island too. but not on a weekend as it gets too busy and crazy
