  1. Would glosso grow in cold water?
  2. Good luck ever catching anything :lol:
  3. You can indeed, they have the same texture as rabbit but with a stronger flavour In my opinion they don't taste good enough to be worth the hassle of preparing them, but it all depends on the situation You guys have cool possums that play dead. In NZ the only good possum is a dead possum
  4. Go out just as the willow buds open in early spring. There will be possums everywhere and the babies are just getting hair. Shoot every possum you see and chances are you will find a youngster, plus you are doing your bit for the environment You will see the tummy moving even though the mum is dead. Reach into the pouch and pull it out, they look EXACTLY like gollom off lord of the rings :lol: and it will move, hiss and mutter under uder its breath just like gollom does too If you are getting one as a pet, get a male because they keep other possums off your section (only really matters if you have fruit trees) Put it in a sock or a coat pocket until it is ready to face the world, and watch out for cats, they love baby possums We had one that slept in an old broken down car. It ate its fill of the fruit, but that was nothing in comparison to the increase in the amount of fruit we got once he had grown up and made a territory
  5. Both depends on how hungry or energetic I'm feeling At my parents house I have a 243 and an 85 pound compound compound bow
  6. An oscar I have two pictus in with my two oscars, they are fine and it looks cool cos there's always something happening at the top and the bottom of the tank, and they clean up after the messy oscars too
  7. I will try and make it, I have an insane amount of assignments due next week
  8. I'm a hunter I got a 14 pointer this roar just gone, and some youngsters for the freezer What do you need hunted?
  9. I have seen bullies school in the Makeretu River in Wairoa. Each fish shoots forward to the front of the school and stops on the bottom until the rest of the school has passed over it, then shoots forward again. It looks really cool when there are hundreds of them, and it is almost impossible to keep your eye on one individual. The school seems to roll along the bottom, I've never seen any other fish do it
  10. I am making an overflow box. I can get the acrylic to do so for a reasonable price, however I know next to nothing about glueing acrylic to itself and to glass Would silicon work? if so what type should I use? Is there a special glue that "melts" acrylic together? (I have read something about this somewhere) Would this modification to a conventional overflow box work to pick up crud that is on the bottom of the tank?
  11. My sister got a cat door put in the glass pane in her door. I went to see her but she wasn't there so I reached through and unlocked the door :lol: 8) Be careful My sister changed her lock so it needs a key from both sides now
  12. I got a 200L 4ft tank, cannister filter and light off TradeMe for $70 I built the stand for $25 total $95 I got a 250L 3ft with a broken side for $2 (she threw in the cannister filter too :bounce: ) $30 stand and $10 new piece of glass total $42 no light though
  13. What sort of cat is it? its not a normal domestic cat. Is it a serval or something? Impressive work by the cat I think it deserves it meal cooked after that
  14. it's a doubletail female. You can see the white egg spot on the bottom of her belly
  15. Olly replied to bulldogod's topic in Technical
    I put black tape on the outside of the tank so I couldn't see it
  16. what about testing whether fish like to school, and whether the size of the school has any effect? I would set up the experiment like this: line 1 is a removable partition line 2 is a transparent partition that stays in place line 3 is a line drawn on the tank To test: 1. put one fish behind each partition 2. remove partition 1 3. record time taken for the fish behind removed partition to cross the line drawn on the tank - trying to get close to the other fish that are behind partition 2 4. put test fish in with other fish behind partition 2 5. put new fish behind partion 1 6. repeat steps 2-5 until you run out of fish/patience. 7. repeat entire experiment several times to make data more reliable Because you add the test fish to the school behind partition 2, the school gets bigger each time you do it, that means you can draw a graph showing the relationship between the size of the school and the time the fish take to cross the line. Use a small schooling fish

    I like these two. Nice fish wish I could find severums that look like this
  18. Yea plus $35-40 to get them up to Palmerston North
  19. I have blacks, golds and some awesome wildtypes I have been wanting some albinos but havn't found any yet
  20. I have a normal 100w bulb heating 10 small tanks (10-25L each). they are currently at about 27-28*C and the light is on probably only a couple of hours a day What type of angels do you have/want to have? My latest batch is just coming free swimming now, probably tonight :bounce:

    This is insane. Kids need to be taught that things actually die People have lost their sense of reality.They don't get that animals have a brain and can feel pain. I grew up on a farm and used to get my townie mates to help with docking the lambs. Pretty much every one was all full of 'I wanna hold the knife!' or 'I can't wait to make them bleed!' but when they actually saw the tails getting cut off they decided they'd rather catch the lambs and play with them instead. It would take them all morning to work out that the lamb they were trying to catch was trying to avoid being caught, and start thinking about how to outsmart it instead of just run after it People have no idea about what the consequences of their actions are sometimes. I've been hunting possums with people that could pull the trigger but couldn't bear to look at the animal they had just killed, let alone finish it off if the bullet hadn't hit the right place. I find that really weird, it was like it was a game up untill they saw the dead possum, then you got the spooked look as it hit home that a gun actually kills things
  22. Are you going to insulate it? You should put Polystyrene around the outside of the whole thing, turn it into a cupboard. I have a smaller version and it is heated by the light only
  23. I don't know I've never been to one either :lol:
  24. I'm interested. If it goes ahead I will be there
