i remember when this guy was big enough to cuddle.

Thats not much of a claim to fame though. Whats the competition? Shortland Street? Newsboy???

Sort of reminds me of a joke i heard about how long it takes to change a lightbulb.

this is wicked!!! im going to go look for a coconut.

Good work no the tank. The Drift wood adds some interesting foci points. Can i ask you about the redness in the Val? Iron? Light? Nice effect though.

Welcome. Any relation to Shamu by any chance???

Someone on this site quoted me under 500 for a new tank just like that. He is in Auckland though.

i will tell you what NZ Courier gave me same day delivery from Tga to Hastings a couple of weeks ago. for 15 buckish

Korean bbq, mmmm. (i dont know what it is but it sounds delicious!!!)

thanks all eggs are back with daddy, i couldnt see how many there were but he is definitely guarding something. Will sterbai corydorus be a threat to fry???

yeah thanks for the advice, guys. Big old busy body is gona let mother nature do what mother nature does. Eggs have now gone back and dad either ate them or has moved them into his nest. A bit of a fail!!! i will let you know if i get a hatch, at least now i know ive got eggs and a good daddy. Question: should i remove mum and dad when i see wrigglers????

Hi i had a mystery fry the other day (yay my bettas are breeding!!!) its a split tail too!!! So today i lifted the polystyrene and there a heap of eggs. I quickly put the polystyrene back but noticed eggs were falling out left right and centre. So i yanked them out and they are sitting in a glass on top of the tank with a lid on. Should i try to reintroduce them to the tank ?(by the way this guys nest is dismally small, basically just eggs) Do you think the eggs will hatch out in the glass? Is there anything i can do with the eggs in the glass to raise the hatch rate?

oh my gosh, your never gona get rid of that fish!!!

From where i stand i heard examples being given of; Anti-semitism Wife bashing The Crusades Rugby Brawls Born Again Christians Non of these imo go any where near the actual causes of child abuse. Something which no-one here has, from what i can see go any where near. it is really obvious that the people here (on both sides) are great parents and want the absolute best for their children. this is very heart warming. People think it is actually OK to put a child into drying machine, hang them from a clothes hanger. Give a toddler repeated closed and open handed strikes to the head. To even kick them when they are on the ground and to slam them into a wall. To practice life threatening wrestling moves on them for the entertainment of their mates. This is the problem; No respect for human life, or the need to nurture it (lack of empathy). Sue has proposed that the anti-smacking law deals with this issue. Obviously it does not. No child has ever been hospitalised from a light smack on the backside (*which this law calls illegal) many young men believe that it is ok to sleep around at a very young age, with no comprehension of the ultimate consequence of this action (new life). When that new life is brought into the world well who now becomes responsible for that life? The same young man who cares little for anything in this world. The fact that NZ rates relatively among the highest in the world in statistics for; Abortion, Teenage Suicide, Family Abuse, Binge Drinking, and Child Abuse, Teenage Sex, Teenage Sexually Transmitted Diseases, is very relevant. These things all deal with the issue of respect for human life don't they??? (your own and other peoples) Good NZers all seem to scratch their heads, and mutter "Why would they do something like that?" Truth be told we don't want to know why, because it reveals the extend to which our nation is embroiled in aspects of inhumanity that scares us, and rightfully so. I started this tread because of frustration at Sue, because it seems that she has an ulterior-motive. Anti-Church. Im almost embarrassed that i needed to start this thread to; 'get it off my chest' so to speak. i thank all the people here for their comments, i HATE seeing people smack their children. But thats not the issue!!! We want to try to protect the most vulnerable of our nation the best we can, made impossible by the fact that the people we need to protect them from are their own parents. (tears now) From what it sounds like your all really great parents!!!! (we all have our own issues to which is very endearing) i think the fry need a feed.

Nearly 54% of eligible voters voted. how would Sue know that 5% made a mess with their papers??? And of the 46% of eligible voters who didnt vote, whose to say they would have voted either way??? I find Sue's continued defiance to 'act on behalf' of NZers a complete insult, a failure to admit she 'got it wrong' an admission of any maturity and wisdom. further more i believe her driving force behind this law has nothing to do with child protection, as she has failed to show any consistency on the matter. While more children die of abuse she is missing in action, unable to provide any constructive ideas that deal with the issue of child abuse.

I totally get it.

this might be the most intelligent thing i have heard all day???? week even??? lol thanks for the conversation! Now i think i will sleep alot easier.
