the taste is similar to venison

sounds like your pet fish has got himself some pet fish

I still think someone needs to name their cat "Entropy"
:lol: the tendency of matter to move to as more random, less organised state
good name

she is still tiny
highlanders put out a small calf antway, good for 1st time calving
my mate used my big bull over his simmentals, then bred down from there
made a nice square animal, big backside, flat back and good shoulders
faster growing than the highlander, low cholesterol meat and a above average yeild
Any breed can be used for first calving, so long as you select the bull correctly. Simmentals taste really good and grow the fastest of any pure breed in NZ
If you want above average yeild, get Limousins
-
Man that's tiny!
We have simmental cattle and the lightest single we have ever had was 27kg, and the smallest twin was 22kg. The heaviest we have had was 58kg
That thing is a serious midget

At 45 degrees im sure you would. plus you would see them swimming through them.
I have a brick with holes in it at 45 degrees near the corner of one of my tanks. It is impossible to see in all of the holes
Them swimming through would look cool, but I would do the holes more randomly, not all round and the same size
-
I would think it would be easier - one net one side and then coax the fish to swim through into the net ! I think three smaller ones offset in parallel at 45 degrees to the front of the tank would look even better.
But then you wouldn't be able to see in some of the holes :-?

There is a big difference between a pets and the 5000th sheep you have delt with that day
-
All other fish were fine. my water etc was all fine. Dunno what caused it

I lost all 3 of mine like this
They got a red mouth and then about a week later one of thems guts got huge and the other twos faces swelled up and they all went from like yours to dead in 24hrs. They were about the same size as yours too
They all behaved normally until their last day
They stunk like they had a bad infection. Catch one and see if it smells off

Said Gin-Ja or Ging-A ?
:lol:
Said Ging-Ah

Ginga - we had one called that

I caught a 16kg one as a kid on the east coast north of Gisborne. Didn't know at the time how bad the eel situation is
It would've been about 20-25cm in diameter and 1.5m long. It was in a creek about a metre wide and quite shallow, I have found that is where you are most likely to find the biggest ones 8) I got it with a pitchfork 8) I remember playing paper scissors rock with my mate to see who had to stab it :lol:
I now know not to take the really huge ones, as they are females. I know where 3 are on my parents property that are at least as big as the one I caught, but they are going to be left alone so they can have a chance to breed. They are all in creeks shallower than gumboots, that are very clear with a shingle bed. I have also seen some in Wairoa that would be similar sized, if not bigger
-
Do they have legs? Can't really see from the photos
If so how many? and is there a gap between the front 3 pairs and the other pairs?
-
please weigh her. we weigh our calves at birth and I'd like to see just how small she is
looking at the pics I'd say probably around 10 kg?
-
sold for stud or food
- nothing against beef or veal but just not family pets...Wow that's a pretty penny!
Sold for stud
The guy liked him so much he came back the next year and bought 4 more!

Ooooohhhhhhh! I get it now.8) Will the intake (to the overflow) be a syphon?
Because the top is open, there is no siphon, and it will stop when normal overflow stops
No siphon
-
Oh do you mean the return will have a pipe to the bottom? Cuz doesn't the overflow usually flow into the box, then out of the tank? You don't overflow the overflow box...
No
The water will flow up the pipe on the right and into the overflow box on the left, then down to the sump
-
Now I'm even MORE confused!
Ok
the rectangle thing is an overflow box on a tank with holes drilled in the back like the one in this thread:
On the side of the box, I am going to put a pipe down to the bottom of the tank, so that the water that flows over the right hand side into the box comes from the bottom of the tank and hopefully collects the oscar poo
-
:-? looks like a goldfish :-?
-
Olly, how is that going to work? Is the whole tank on a lean? If so, how do it stop it from flowing over the sides?
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I should have made that more clear
The picture is of my overflow box on the left and my modification to the overflow on the right. The whole lot is inside the tank :lol: :lol:
-
I am putting a sump on my tank soon and have been thinking about this problem
What I am planning to do about it is to modify my overflow box like this:
The water that runs over the right hand side comes from the bottom of the tank
Because the top is open, there is no siphon, and it will stop when normal overflow stops
I haven't tried this yet but see no reason why this shouldn't work
