Ah.. the life of the rich and famous whiteworms... Mckenzie bread. Even I can't afford to eat that. :lol: Hmm Rice... must give it a shot.. do sometimes have left overs... My whiteworms won't touch bread anymore

NZKA advises that newbies to killies keep their different species of killies in seperate tanks so that it stops any hybrid varieties of killies getting into the general public. Also it takes a little time to find out what killies you can mix. a good rule of thumb is only mix males together as they look different. However there are exceptions to the rules.ie P82 and Blue Gardneri Since you have joined the NZKA we will provide you with as much beginners information as we can... also keep posting your questions here as well as their are many others that can help.

Now thats cheating... You had 2 fish

Will let you know if there is interest first. thanks hands

:roll: Hmm.. How did my name come into it? I think the next one should be in 2009 otherwise it won't be special. Will make enquires at our next club meeting. Might even go over the shore and get their perspective. You can never start early enough.

Welcome Hannahbell Hope you have joined the NZKA (New Zealand Killiefish Association) since you have killies wElcom to the forums though. We are glad to help you out

Use compost instead of potting Mix. Potting mix tends to have fertiliser in it which is not that good. I can bring some down this saturday if you want. Just let me know. You can get a poly bin from the supermarket (fish department) or Payless plastics.

still nice pics though Kevin

welcome Eagle feel free to browse and ask as many questions you like... no matter how strange the question may seem... we have all been there, so are eager to help

You have been PM'd Dancer17

Hi and welcome to the forums. We are all here to Help where we can. To start with... sorry that you are from Palmy :lol: (Been there and it is either raining or windy :lol: ) As Zev said... I believe wet pets offer water for fish too. can't remember if they charge you for this service... I am sure someone will let you know. Wok

you may find the angels like to nibble on Killies I would say NOT

Aqua One ceramic media is cheap and works Eheim substrate media is great but cost heaps.

Give me time and I will have some more pics up. Well done to the organisers of the fish show. It was great and very busy, even this afternoon at 1.00pm. Hope the break-down went well.

Well done guys Good luck to all those who have entered. Can't make it to the show this weekend but hope to drop in on my way back up to Auckland on Monday. Sounds like it is going to be a blast at the show. Hope for the organisers that everything goes well. Cheers Wok

I drive from Mangere Bridge to Green Bay, 20 mins... means nothing to an Aucklander.

I wouldn't even bother using "water conditioner"

Water Fleas are more commonly known as Daphnia. They are called water fleas because when they move the jerk around like a flea jumps.

any live food that fits in their mouths is fine.

26 degrees is far too high. Lower it down to around 20 degrees Spawning mop for the fish to lay eggs good food. Plants would be ok in the tank, I have plants in all my killie tanks.

Ummmm :roll: Auckland Fishkeepers Association meet in GREEN BAY!!!! Whats the point in setting up another club out there? :-? We meet in the Green Bay community house, Behind New World on Godley Rd. Every 2nd Tuesday of the month. 7.30pm till around 10.00pm Wok

Option A. Just don't add a lot if fish at any one time.

I have white convicts for $1 each

all I have done with my wcmm tank, is place it on a window sill. Chuck in amublia and indian fern and a HOB filter and then add water. No water changes, just water top ups from the tap. Feed mine, flake and whiteworms.... heaps of babies and don't worry about fry food.
