I have learnt! and thankfully I have not had to experience knobbly toes (is that what you called it?_I cannot be bothered looking back lol). Rusty Thanks you oh wise one :bounce:

the bulbs are fine. so take them out, as the stock t5's do not come with tubes. if you have a "club card" and i presume you do :lol: the purchase can be found. if not you need a receipt as proof of purchase.

itll be under warranty, so get it replaced.

Well I'm glad to see that the macs have finally found a good use! :lol:

oh no that's terrible!! gem_scott you better not use sand paper then! many thanks Mark! I didn't think/know about that! I'd rather have a bird with talons than a sad bird

bumble what you say? i used clippers on rust when he was wild, and since then his claws have been blunt. but this is news to me. Tell me more :bounce:

oh for crying out loud... not another crazy hoot who wants to be all PC. :roll: its ridiculous. my mum is a child psychologist who got asked not to teach the kids at her nursery the song "baa baa black sheep". she was instead supposed to say rainbow sheep. she course had a fit and told the people that teaching kids that the word "black" was inappropriate was racist in itself.

he is very tame! good on you! is he about 12 weeks old now? I'd recommend wrapping sand paper around his perches initially and that will naturally round off those sharp claws - if he has them that is.

by fancy... what do you mean? what price range? goldspots are usually $20, and gold nuggets (also with spots) or goldies can be upwards of $150.

oh good.. now that this topic has split I can say this: my "answer" is not from any text book, but ill be sure you send you a copy when im done with it. :roll: your views are almost straight out of a junior economics text with little insight into a specific industry. perhaps you should do some more research and know how the system here works when it comes to getting fish off importers as a retailer. you will find that few retailers are also importers.. they all have gains from specialisation.

i have the lists, so i go through them when i have time, and then call some people up. lots have them but aren't putting them on their lists just yet.

plenty more, as in they are a piece of cake to get in now that we know who has them. im currently hunting down the opals.

oh. they "should" get yellow cheeks.

give it time, ha ha. you only just got them. plenty more where thy came from... the colours must have improved since you got them, what are they like now?

oh yay! look at how tiny they are! good on you!

I didnt even know it was a disease to be honest with you. I thought it had something to do with the hierarchical structure of their groups. can you post a link to that info? I'd like to read it. Thanks.

weird/ sorry I dont know much about why it would cause interference. but I'd try another power main, instead of another plug point in the same extension. if that's what you are doing then I dunno

oh yay!' ' so where are the photos~!!!!!!!!

i like the background... what is it?

hahahahhaha. funNY!!!!!!!! :lol:

how long are the lights? and what are the other plants? It could also be a nutrient deficiency that is causing the leaves to go brown. But it really depends on the plant. eg. crypt wendtii only goes brown in good conditions/ but if your swords are going brown it means it is a nutrient deficiency. HTH oh and post some pics! :bounce:

ýou are assuming a perfect world, a strong NZD, and no competition from other countries. the market here is also thin, and illiquid, and so the normal supply-demand conditions will not work. retailers do not and have never created markets. they merely exploit existing markets, unexplored niches, and think of ways to differentiate products that already exist in markets, by cost leadership, product differentiation etc etc strategies. Alan is right when he said if importers bought a whole lot of fish and competed with the larger markets out there, it would lead to higher prices in NZ, and when the prices increase immediately with the new imports, fewer people would buy fewerfish... poor wholesalers now have illiquid inventory, that loses value everyday; plus the variable and fixed costs = importers, wholesalers (more often that not are the importers), retailers and then the poor consumers get done over. the rules that you have used, while are fundamentally correct; simply do not apply to this trade, and if they did, we would have capitalised on this a long time ago.

whoa! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Kl4eIU ... r_embedded I can't wait!!!!!!! :bounce:

don't do that! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :bounce: gotcha. bourbon has weird side effects. :lol:

if they are all big it should be ok. they are rowdy (just ask the one that nearly took my hand off).. i find they are a lot like oscars, only they take ages to grow from what ive seen.
