I've just added another photo of a plant with flower. Anubias nana I have another new photo but that one needs identification. Will post it here shortly I need more original NZ photos. Plants with flowers so that we can properly identify them. Cees

http://www.fnzas.org.nz/writing_article ... al_tetras/ is an article about breeding cardinal tetras (appeared in a FNZAS Aquarium World magazine before published on http://www.fnzas.org.nz/ ). I'd imagine that many of the things said in that article applies to breeding neon tetras as well.

Fantastic. Thanks for helping to make the http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom a great succes

I had under(in)gravel heating cable in my planted tank. Made them myself from wirewrap wire. You only need a low wattage to create the desired effect which is: water circulation through the substrate. Use conventional heating to heat the tank. I believe I used an old 6 volt transformer (isolated I think, I hope, not an electrician) and the required lenght of wire to have an effective 15-20 Watt heating. (or something like that anyway). Made holders for it from plastic strips (hardware store) . Ran it zig-zag through the whole tank. Substrate heater was on timer. 15 min on 15 min off or something like that See http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Tech/dupla-cables.html and look for wire wrap on the page Cees

agree with warren. When I still had a planted tank I made my own pmdd. Got most of my supplies from the otaki hydroponics shop. Some of the trace elements where probably scraped of my lab-bench at work. Had to be careful not to overdose though. After a couple of months I had it figured out and the tank (100L only) was nitrate limited with good growth. You need to do everything though CO2, light, fertiliizer etc. I also had heating cable in the substrate, very efficient. Perhaps this winter I'll get a 4 foot tank and start with the plants again :-) Cees

poecilia.net.nz members please visit your message board. I need your help. Cees

I spend a few minutes everyday re-organizing the http://www.fnzas.org.nz/ website. Clubs: You can help! See http://www.fnzas.org.nz/clubs/ Email me the info you wish to appear on the page with your clubs details. Things like where and when you meet, what you do, what it costs and perhaps other info of interest to the general public.

convert the files from .bmp to .jpg and upload the files again. Then edit your previous post Cees

Still working out the details. A photo section with upload space for FNZAS members. ?? Cees

Thanks Caryl, another good one for the collection on the fnzas website http://www.fnzas.org.nz/therockpoolfishes.0.html even amazon doesn't know anything about this book. Any volunteers to write an editorial review and/or provide me with a picture of the cover page ?? Cees

Still waiting for your reply to my pm. I've had one from perky. Nothing has been sorted with me. I have just been collecting data that's all sofar. Cees

yes, the http://www.fnzas.org.nz site. Cees

Or, you could order it from a supplier through the fnzas site. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/killifishacomplet.0.html

For a new section of this site I'm researching aquarium software. Screensavers, simulations, maintenance, control of equipment, encyclopedia etc etc. What do you have? What's it like? What's good about it and not so good? I'm looking for freeware, shareware and commercial software and links to websites etc. Cees

Can we please close this topic. It's not the general subject of this topic that required moderating. Post have been removed because specific statements in them were deemed inappropriate and in conflict with the guidelines. Please move on. I will. Cees

perhaps you could read the guidelines again or search the fishroom for the term 'family oriented' http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewto ... y+oriented Maybe you will than understand why I will not allow 'bagging' of anything. If you believe you should have received a warning than perhaps you should not post here anymore. I try hard to delete posts which I believe are not appropriate for this forum. I know the other moderators do the same. I should not have to do this but some of you (a few) leave me no choice. I don't always send a warning. The site has losts valuable members because of a small group of people who are unable to respect others in their posts and that's a shame really.

dotphoto.com doesn't allow hotlinking. Can't see your photos. see http://www.fnzas.org.nz/forum-images.0.html Cees
