Sorry, i was distracted for some days... I`ve given some time to think a nice joke about spanish semen export... but nothing gone out. I hope you work with cattle A killy-breeder friend told me too that it`s very hard to exchange eggs with NZ... your laws dont allows nothig I was asking for the same snail than in the first post page, Latia Neritoides http://www.gastropods.com/8/Shell_30478.html Can`t believe nobody wanted to keep them to see how bioluminiscent they are since then :C Just a photo or video of their trick in a nice and clean fishtank... no one ?

Hello again NZ Me back after long time to ask ;P Finally was made a hunting trip? Has someone tried to keep them since the last post? Please say yes... to both Thaanks

Bad luck :C Courage

Hello Cam Have you seen Boraras maculata or microrasbora galaxy ? They are in shops since about a year here, really very small (smaller than halve arlequin and similar water) colorfull fish. I want to buy a couple to see how they look at the smaller shrimps ;P These one is the galaxy http://www.laquari.com/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=542 and the other http://www.aquariofilabcn.org/forum/sho ... php?t=2377 There are more kinds of both but I dont remember the names Badis are very nice too but i never seen one in a shop here :C Good luck

Hello Stella, thanks for your interest You are right, it should be better if they was used to live in a fishtank, and much better if was born in one ... in fact, me thought some people should have them in an aquarium when first post. How was the tank where you kept them? I think using a small fishtank and a big filter we can get very clear water. Oxigenation would be made with a venturi or an external Co2 reactor(unpluged) I would like to try it I want to make an small tank only for them, but found very few information (everything is wellcome). Maybe they need to eat some local plant and dont glow out of there ... Do you know water parameters and temperature? and maybe a web where i could see how are those streams. Do you know if another animals lives in these waters (fish, snail ...) and their names? maybe they will give habitat information. Please tell me how to request them. When I have all the info and the tank working i will try to do it. Thanks a lot Stella

Hello NZ Two weeks has gone, with a 4 party days bridge here hope you had those free days there too ... And hope someone used them to make a small trip to snailhunting ... some P.O.W taken? Did you went back home dry? Best regards

I am sorry to disagree, maybe i`m wrong, but i think that these is a lymnaea (bad snail), not a physa (good snail) Those kind of snails usually comes with shop plants here, and 90% times are physa. Physa is a good gardener and never eats plants ... but i dont like them because breeds too fast, and tank goes full of them in few time (i like planorbis a lot more than physa to eat algae) Lymnaea its like a physa, and also breeds like a physa, but its a bad snail because it eats plants. The difference is in the shell`s turning direction (mmm i hate my english sorry) Lymnaea shell turns like a clock Physa shield turns in the other way I put a link where it talks about it ... in spanish ... sorry me not found it in english , but you can see the photos http://www.drpez.net/panel/showthread.php?t=145461 We are very far, so maybe i`m wrong and these is a NZ snail ... maybe another photo ... but i should bet for lymnaea. What do you think? Very nice fishtank

Those microworms are also called grindall? or there are another kind?

I forgot me found these http://sciencelinks.jp/j-east/article/2 ... 604590.php http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_o ... 020855bca3 I hope they dont need to eat some special NZ plant ... PD- JAJJAJAAJ was a joke pedo = ventosidad = flatulence, windiness You translated it to spanish?

Thanks a lot for all the answers Me didn`t know about NZ laws :C I has been watching the NIWA website, but could not found a list of things wich can be taken out of NZ or not.And if eggs are included in the law or not. I will be very gratefull if Blueandkim or Stella (or both ;P) asks the way of having some But I dont need a lot, just very few snails or some eggs to try to breed them in a fishtank at home (not industrial breeding) They are going to live in a fishtank alone so no problem with fishes. Making a trip to search them its a very good idea, it has to be funny to see those streams at night I am like a bit far away to join, but if you go, tell us if you get a fartluminiscent snail,a cought, or none (and if you can measure the water ph ...) Nice hunt and be sweet, dont take more than what you need (sounds like, We aaare the wooorld - wee aaare...) ... Becauuuse they caaan groow and breeed ( jajajajaja i have a poet day) mmmm better me say good night and good luck at the hunt ;P

Hello New Zealand I come from Spain ... sorry for my english Not sure if these post goes here but me could not found an invertebrates zone I would like to breed a New Zealand snail called Latia Neritoides http://www.gastropods.com/8/Shell_30478.html But I found very few in the net about it. And the most important thing, no idea about where can i find some of them to begin. These is close to all what i have found about it http://members.aol.com/Mkohl2/Latiidae.html Please, can you tell me their water parameters? (I know they are from north island but nothing more ) And ...if someone of you has them in his fishtank, or knows who have ... Can we talk about it? ;P I think they could be send by postmail (properly packed in a DVD film box) me show how to if you are not sure. I will be very happy to see these bioluminiscence when a shrimp climbs on them Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english
