  1. i cut it into smallish bits then put it in a blender, mixing in lettuce, peas etc as required. then i push it into an empty bloodworms packet and freeze it
  2. Asthma is an over-reaction to stimuli by the lymphatic system. antibodies are created against harmless things in their environment (dust, pollen, etc). the over-reaction is stimulated when the environment is too sterile, and the immune system doesnt come into contact with enough foreign material. it is a lack of the body's immune system to be able to recognise what in its environment is harmful and what is not
  3. maybe you got really unlucky and one of the parents gene for melanin production has mutated back to the original form

  6. thats what i was thinking too. also there are blue flashes in the black spot, which only females have
  7. wow those fish are amazing more more
  8. look up iridovirus (i think the spelling is correct) - gouramis are prone to it especially dwarfs i have found that dwarf gouramis do much better on twice weekly water changes or even more frequent if you can be bothered when i had dwarf gourami fry i was doing a 40% change twice or more a day. i missed one change and they only got 1 change that day and half of them died. i dunno why but dwarf gouramis just love having their water changed
  9. They have females of both honey gouramis and dwarf gouramis at animates in Palmerston North at the moment I have 2 blue female dwarfs

    L102 - Snowball plec

    Since you've been waiting so long looking for a male surely it would make sense to start the breeding back process just incase something happens to your female before you find a male? I'd keep looking for a male L102, but in the meantime breed her to whatever L# the experts say, just so that if something happens to her we dont lose the species completely As soon as a male was found then the breeding back could be given up if you got pure offspring Just my opinion
  11. for most inverts freezing is a good euthanasia method
  12. I just stole the cockatoo's cave to see if it would work Just tried that Oscar seems to like courgette too :-? looks like he stays up late :lol: He dug the gravel out of the entrance and got the tablet Im gonna get a bigger pot and make a smaller entrance to see if that will work
  13. Would you be able to get them back into NZ? If you are coming back that is 8)
  14. I put a pot I already had in and put the food inside it Oscar finds the food Oscar too fat to fit Oscar thinks about it Keyholes get interested Oscar tries again GBA goes in, closely watched by Oscar Oscar gets the tablet Happy Oscar with a mouthful :evil: GBA goes back to his cave
  15. im gona try that oscar will probably tip it over knowing him :roll:
  16. I have a 5cm GBA in the same tank as my little 15cm oscar. I am finding it impossible to get anything to the GBA as the oscar is too quick and good at finding the pleco tablets. If I put 10 pleco tablets in then the GBA might get to taste one before the oscar gets them all. the oscar puts 5 or 6 in his mouth and chews on them, letting little bits of tablet out his gills which the gouramis eat and the GBA gets nothing. even if i feed the oscar down one end of the tank and hide the tablets in cracks in the rocks at the same time the oscar still finds them all The GBA is starting to look a bit thin, is there any way to feed him in the tank with the oscar or do I have to move him?
  17. im an A+ too i donte whenever they come to uni but my gf cant cos shes under 50kg
  18. my dwarf gouramis do poos that get more than twice the length of them
