    OMG!!!

    Where's a good place to get those sorts fluros? I'm looking for some now, but can only find ones that are like $130+
  2. Call of Duty is awesome on the Wii.
  3. I have a ps3 and a wii, and for the games I like, the wii is so much better! I wouldn't buy an xbox because so many people I know have had major problems with them. Graphics wise, they're pretty similar, so you're best to pick the one that has the games you most want to play. Maybe you could rent one of both and see what you like better.
  4. Your best bet is to join a camera club - there are some in Auckland that I can get contact details for if you want. I can also give your some good forums if you PM me
  5. Yeah I know...pity I can't get paid to do it like you can!!
  6. Hey...dave and amy I'm sitting in hu323 and written on the desk is amy+dave...just wondering if that's you guys?
  7. I fill it in the sink through the inlet, and wait until the water comes out through the outlet at the top. It also helps to run it with the outlet below the filter so it doesn't have to pump as hard. It helps gets the bubbles out. However, I think my way of doing it might be the hard way, so I'd see if there's someone else out there that can give better advice
  8. It sounds like you have air in it. You need to prime it by filling in completely with water. If there is any air in it, it will be noisy, and won't flow.
  9. I also think it's a good way to explain to people why their fish are skinny looking - they could be skinny but well fed because of internal parasites, stress, or, as Ira said, because of poor conditions.
  10. I love how the woman stays so polite through the whole thing. I would have lost my s*** a long time ago
  11. I think the fish needs to be left alone too. At some point, the money is not worth is, especially when you think of it from the perspective that if it will only stay alive with all the medication, then it'll be a very expensive. I think you need to remember that he's going to have to be strong enough to sustain his health, and medicating him is weakening his immune system, so he's less likely to be able to fight off anything in the future.
  12. I don't know what an RCD unit is, but have you any fish in the tanks yet?
  13. I also think that you could have a case of overmedication, where the fish isn't actually sick anymore, but is just recovering. Maybe you need to just let it be with no medication, just good waterchanges and some salt, and let it recover.
  14. How big are they? It's really hard to sex most corys until they are about 75% grown and start to grow out.
  15. I find it really hard to miss days because then I get out of a routine. Also, other people in my house like to feed the fish...
  16. Bigger like stuck out? If so, it could be a tumour. Someone told me that rams are prone to them.
  17. This is an actual email conversation: http://people.msoe.edu/~gormand/canihavemyspiderbackot3.gif You need to click on the image to view the text, then click on it again to zoom.

    GBA with a spot

    I've spoken to a few people about it and they have had it happen to fish when there has only been GBAs in the line for 5+ generations. I think it does happen sometimes like dixon said. BTW, you got them from someone different from me, thanks for telling me!
  19. Looks like she's scratched herself on something. If she's burrowing or getting ready to lay, she might have hurt herself. I'd keep an eye on it and if it gets any worse, then I'd question an infection.
  20. It depends on the temperament of your angels. They wouldn't last in my tank. I also think that 135l is too small for 4 gouramis and 2 angels - they kinda need their own space to be able to get a little agro if they need to.
  21. One of their juniper routers went down. They have 5 in the country and if one dies, the whole Internet in nz goes down. They're supposed to have backups at all locations, but apprently are too incomptent to make them work. If you complain enough, they'll give you a few months free. Thank god for my iPhone and 3g service!!

    GBA with a spot

    http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/can-you-breed-vt35139.html Could it be a mixed common/GBA? I have some that are the same except their spots are on their tails.
  23. As a general rule, if the fishes mouth is bigger than the fish you are putting in, it's a no go. I've not had too much experience with mixing the two, but my 4cm lionheads tried to eat 4cm GBAs, so I had to pull them out (with tattered fins).
  24. Why do you think rainwater should have a pH of 6? Pure rainwater has a pH of about 5.6. Are you sure it's not the barrel leeching something to bring the pH up? My RW is always between 5.4 and 6.0
  25. You mean put the mother in the breeding net? The babies might get sucked out by the other fish and I don't know if it would help the problem of introducing her back in.
