Thanks about the css warning and please do come back here after visiting the web design forum.

Welcom boban_nz, hope to see you here often. I couldn't resist the challenge http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http: ... as.org.nz/ http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/vali ... as.org.nz/ and you are right, let's talk about fish related things here. Cees

Thank you pegasus, very useful Even pointed me to a number of 'forgotten' articles I still need to transfer. www.1research2webdesign.co.nz has 2 more weeks to live and then the plug will be pulled on that server :-( All relevant content will be transfered to this site (eventually).

Ladies, don't you get it yet. I just 'cut and paste' and move on to the next thing on the 'to do list' Cees

What does the 'retired software developer' mean and tell us more about your involvement with the aquarium hobby. How did you find the NZ fishroom?

John Abela as in phpbb John Abela?? Thank you Thank you and Thank you

My experience, If you want them to eat the dreaded 'red beard algae'... don't feed them for a while at least. Otherwise they get lazy.

my 2 cents. If you're on a budget you can leave out the solenoid and spent the $ on a good quality needle valve, sometimes called 'metering valve'. You can get away with a plastic petshop valve but it works much better with a good quality valve. A starting point for a supplier could be 'Alltech New Zealand' in Auckland [email protected] (at least according to my latest catalog). Not sure wich one you would need but a Nupro B-4MG2 has been mentioned on other sites. http://aquaticconcepts.thekrib.com/Articles/book.htm

Another milestone coming soon. 1000 posts! On April 6 2002 (about one year old) we had less than 400.

Yes, I dealed with that company before. Imported a case (12 cans) for the Upper Hutt club about 3 years ago. Good service. I'm now using my last can. Still hatching.

Welcome to the NZ fishroom Virgil. Hope to see you here often.

mosquito fish, Gambusia affinis Did a bit of searching on google. Found an interesting link http://www.aquaria.net/art/finart/phalloc.html and http://www.aquaria.net/art/finart/gambusia.html Andrew was mentioned as part author there. Perhaps he could shed some more light on this

Rhys, As you can see I split the post, moved it to new forum and removed the 'other' post. Thanks for your reply.

Welcome Fatfish. Hope you'll enjoy the forums. If you want to go tropical there are enough experts here to help you out.

http://www.nzfreshwater.org/ not sure if site is any good. My browser didn't like the java applet frontpage please report back

I'm pretty sure they are imported as SAE's. I've got 3 left, had 6 before but they jumped. I know they are SAE's because I don't have any Red Brush Algae. You see them in Wellington area shops regularly. I got them a year ago through the Upper Hutt Club. See, it pays to join a real club.

1. Poster gives the first clue and how many attempts are to be allowed (not class, or sub class, but possibly region only or something). 2. Each member then gets one question eg Is it a catfish? Is is a bottom dweller? 3. The same member cannot ask two questions in a row but may follow after another person has asked. 4. The poster can only answer Yes or No but may say if the member is getting 'warmer' or 'colder'. 5. The fish must be a freshwater or brackish species and still available to aquarists, either here or overseas, with recognition in fish books or magazine. Think of games like "20 Questions" and "What's My Line?" (those old enough to remember black and white TV!) and you will get the idea. Please start a new topic with every new 'Name that fish'

Can I be classified as a 'cold water fish'
