yes but its best to keep the seperate types seperate so that we have a gene pool of true fighters in NZ rather than a mix of everything and poor quality going around.

wow they are nice and fat aren't they! Do you breed these guys? not many of them arround NZ. good luck with them

Im going to the lake soon with a bigger net to try and get some pictures for you guys. They just looked exactly like rummy nose tetras and I need to find out lol. If its only for my sanity haha :roll:

Just got my copy of empire total war, the newest in the total war seriese and I cant wait to play it! Anyone elses a total war fan? Havent realy met anyone who is but surely there is someone out there haha :bounce:

good luck with them, I managed to get many of batches but they grew sooooo slow for me. they are a neet little fish and cool to see them swarm around cucumber and pellets haha :lol:

have kept them before and now have some small ones. Just wanted to see what everyone else fed theirs??? cheers

looks like they are already at the wriggler stage. Very nice looking fish, good luck with growing them out and the next batches to come :bounce:

agreed snooki, with all that has gone on you realy wouldnt want to risk it. Sad realy

yeh aparently the aro went agro, killed the gourami and then smashed the lid and died on the floor. they were both very impressive fish. I miss them

The male may be too small to do the whole sqeesing thing, I had a male who had great trouble when the female was keen to go (so to speak lol). :oops:

if you have photoes to ID them, and they cannot prove ownership eg where they bought it exc you should be ok. Maybe get a friend who "is interested in buying" to insprct them and take a pic or two? and take it from there? seems crafty and sligh, but IMO they are more crafty steaLING A FAMILY PET/MEMBER! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I remember seeing that on one of my guppies for the first time, freeked me out. of course I was like 10 and didnt understand the whole live birth thing with fish haha.

i had a few a while back, I will have a look for some pic tonight for you. they are nice looking fish!

cool sounds easy, I thought we would have to go and buy a big flash thingy lol. what would I use to keep the tank at 30 degrees? do you meen have a heater in the water and let the humidity keep the heat up in there or something else? cheers

and if so how much would one of them cost?

oh ok, we dont have an incubator. I was just wondering if they were left to their own devices in the right conditions if the eggs would hatch or not... (for next time). or if you def need to get an incubator?

our big female laid 6 eggs the other day. their enclosure outside doesnt have sand or anything in it at the mo so the eggs will be no good. we are building a wee ramp so she can lay eggs in a dirt pile this weekend. any advice? also do you need an incubator to rais young?

I dont think it was this type of fish guys, the ones I saw were about 2 or 3 inches long and very slender. Perhaps their fry...

I was at Karipero lake the other day with the bucket and net. We caught some small shrimp, muscles, what I think must have been a bullies (not too familiar with the native fish). But one thing I did see which I thought was odd was a school of slim silver fish with red faces/heads… there were mosquito fish in there too so I didn’t get mixed up or anything lol. Anyone seen these guys before? They were rite up by the shore but way too quick to catch!

my spiney eel ate all the neons on our tank and he is only like 10-12cm long, always wondered why he was sooooo fat

we have....: a hand reared cockatiel 3 big tropical tanks (the smallest being 1.2m long) and the fish: albino bristlenoses (breeding pair) 2 common BN 10 neons a large arowana large ghost knife 3 huge plecos guppies, platties, honey gouramies, dwarf puffer, breeding kribs and more I dont remember lol. 4 budgies breeding cockatiels zebra fintches, java sparows, and many quails! 2 red eared sliders 2 snake necks a blue tongue a cat where we get the time for them I dont know considering we have a 9 month old "human" haha :bounce:

would the bumble bee gobies be ok with the puffers? I have seen them together but those puffers are like little troublsome kids haha, and get up to no good

Ferrits GBA's of albino bristlenoses?

wow you are the champ Dav! I got some crown tails off you a while back and you had just got them shot! got the crowns breeding and have some nice guys here. If you were going to sell some it would be cool to buy some fry off you and grow them out, as the ones in the pet stores are in realy bad condition. If not thats all good mate it good to see that you are doing so well with the HM's! mark

did you ever manage to breed the platnum HM's?
