Phew :roll: If that was the case then accidents really do happen :lol: Well very nice fish though Paul do you have a nice female GBA you want to swap with a nice male? I got 3 bachelors in the search for a suitable mate. Or could you recommend any female Cheers Wok

What? Adele and Amy are pregnant too :lol:

Why not dig your own hole and line it with pond liner? I know the warehouse sells pond liner and stone and Water World on Marua rd, Ellersllie

Yay.... hope the egg count is high and they are feeding them well with egg bearing qualities

Hi Werner It really was a meeting as such, more of a get together and share our experiences on keeping killies. Talked at the possiblility of have more get togethers so that we can share information, fish and really meet people in real life so that we can then place a real name and face to the Nicknames we have here in this forum. Also it is a good way for newbies to killies to find out how we others keep killies and any unusual tricks that we each do that works for us and to keep the number of killies up, so if one of us is missing one of the sexes then hopefully another member is able to provide that missing sex so that breeding can continue. Another thought came up in that in each region killie members could meet up and do the same. ie southland members could meet together and share their experiences and when that member goes travelling they can then meet up with others around the country. Welll had 4 members shown up on such short notice but I believe it was still worth doing. Must get another get together going next month.... maybe over a bbq perhaps.

Condolences Mitch. my sympathies are with you..... makes you wonder whether going cold water would be better. Well with so many people here willing to help I am sure that fishroom will be up and running again soon.

Meeting Time and location has been confirmed. Location: My Place Time: 1.00pm Sunday afternoon. Phone me for address details. 0274 760 231 Cheers Wok

Hi all Yes this Meeting (get together is in Auckland) I have yet to confirm the venue at the moment.. any suggestions are welcome. Cheers Wok, 253

If you are keen on meeting fellow Killie members this sunday 16/10/05 then please PM me and let me know. Looking at having a meeting for existing and new members of the NZKA Time will be Sunday Location, Yet to be confirmed. Since Alan and Erling are up here why not meet them! Cheers Wok 253

Yeah Nick. I'm not bad... just good at it :roll: ask Alan :lol:

Oh... Mystic Found the other missing shark. It was behind the clothes drier... found it yesterday

Arggghhh Thursday? :roll: Yeah sure no problems... evening I presume? :lol: Call me Cheers Wok

In that case Jude... I feed my kids bread (unsoaked) with out the edges, dead fish (salmon) and some fresh fruit as well as yoghurt :lol:

I feed mine bread soaked in water.. but I break up the bread so that there is more edges for them to eat and multiply. I have also use luncheon, dead guppies and silver sharks... they seem to like a bit of meat in their diet. wholemeal bread also works quite well.

I have found that keeping killies is one of the easiest fish to do... all you have to do is change water...normal Auckland tap water is fine... I don't even add anything anymore. Well happy fish keeping. Alan... Ready and Waiting for your visit. 253

Niloc is in Auckland too.

OOps... sorry about that Alan... must of skipped that part. I thought you would of at least got a pair for yourself. They are so purdy that Rose would love them as well So... Marshalls any signs of babies yet?

So Alan.... .... have the Killies you just got started to lay eggs yet? If not... why not? When they do.... let me know. Cheers 253

what I normally do with zucinni is that I will slice about an inch of zucini cut it in half then stick a weight through it along with the skin (you can use a spoon if you wish) so that the zucinni doesn't float to the top. give it a rinse and toss it in. I would also feed flake as well for the other fishies. Well that is what I do... but I use Cucumber instead as it is cheaper

I've been to Vancouver, BC, Canada and found that it was like Auckland except that there are no eves over the side walk, so if it rained you got wet. I was told that Banff was very similar to queenstown... can't comment cause I ain't been to either :roll: vancouver I found was rather ho hum imo

I vac the gravel everytime I do a water change. only vac the top layer around the plants...do water changes at least twice a week... guppies leave a lot of poo about.

Go to your local butcher and get them to order one in for you... last time I got one it cost me $6

you will probably create more problems trying to lower the pH than to keep it where it is. The discuss will be ok at that pH provided it does not change all the time.

Bluetom... if it is of any help... none of my 5 killie tanks are heated. I have them in my living room and all of the killies are doing well.... especially the aphy nigerium gold and the chocolate australes. and they are all in 1ft x 1/2ft x 1/2ft tanks.

Penejane.... convincing your husband that you need a new BIGGER tank should not be a problem .... It is a matter of Supply and Demand.... when he Demands a bit on the side you withhold supply :roll: ... eventually he will give in and you get your new BIG tank 8)
