Hey Ash Kinda back... more being nosey to see how all the breeding etc is coming along how is all yours going? still into it?

you would have to break it down to two lots or send it via a freighting company as most weight limits are 25kgs

Lol... well in a box it would prob take up a box around 1000mmx600mmx260mm the jars weight 1.050grams each so be just over 30kg for all 30.. just measured jars and they hold just over 1500mls

if your keen we could measure and weight them up to see what shipping would be.. i think i payed like $2 each for em

I got them from a local Beta breeder in CHCH the jars the jars look to hold aprox 2 litres and are about 150mm in diameter and 200-250 tall.. they might even hold 3 litres.. i just thought they were a good size for Seperating fry as alot more space than most cells have. the jar does have a embossed brand on one side but small price really They are large preserving jars... Where abouts in nz are you? shipping would be the only issue if you wanted them i were going to put them on trademe as I have about 30 of them going unused

are you still after jars for Betas? Ive got prob 30 or so 2litres preserving jars.. they are round but strong i were going to use these for my beta breeding setup when i were breeding but went unused only thing im in chch

yes i found made the fighters happier and spawned better ... also made the bubble nests tougher and eaily made for them also if they got any battle wounds during the spawn process it helps heal

yup looks that way... mine on trademe are over half the price tho keep me in mind for more.. as even with courier and shippign im stil alot cheaper Kris

the tea bags arent too bad to get imported.. but the leaves are alot harder to get thru MAF.. Im no longer going to import these as dont have the time I havent had any purchases today that i can see as of yet.. im in chch

hey guys PM me if your keen on some indian almond leaves for breeding/ conditioning stil have a few left and MAF have made it very hard to get these into the country now .. have available as leaves or teabag varietys also advertised on trademe but will work out a deal for FNZAS members to help out

what you can do is soak the bottle in a tub of water.. maybee scrub the label a bit to score it let it soak till the paper rubs off then use methelated spirits to remove the glue and you should get a clean unscratched bottle

what i did with some of my fighters.. i used 3litre juice bottles instead .. that way giving them about 2.5litres of swimming room.. plus they have square sides so you get more viewing space in the tank... downside is to get a lot of them u need to drink lots of juice!!

make sure the holes are small iv done the coke bottle thing and learnt the hard way as some of them try swim thru the holes.. once they are in there they are hard to get out without harming them.. i lost a few this way i find lots of small holes are better than larger ones

id just chuck em in the tank... wouldnt bother boiling them but thats prob the easiest way of doing it i find the best way is to use the tea bags if your after black water use the leaves for breeding etc good luck brett sounds like ur doing well

Lol pays to keep the lines true get way nicer looking and stronger fish that way your fish keep getting better and Better David ! Congrads

amazingly enuf dont seem to get many miscquito larve out here .. considering the amount of water troffs etc!! ... might have to try start a special rain water tank to get them going again

could be late developers i had a red and white butterfly which looked to be a longer finned female till a month or two ago.... yes between the 3 kids and work.. i hardly get anytime to do anything anymore ive spent a whole 6hours at home this weekend and and that was spent building a larger kennel for the dogs...

how is all your breeding going by the way? or slowed down like rest of us due to time?

time just flys by lately... il get around to putn some piks up next couple of days ive got some okay ones but none of them showing decent flaring etc.. il try again

hey Ash you know my number if you really want the marble guy your more than welcome to

ive taken a few photos here and there but are not happy with the shots so have not posted them im not puting up average piks but you can understand the time it takes to get decent piks of over a dozen fighters... just dont have the time considering just taking them into my local shop to save hassles .. but will see

yeah i think as long as the conditioning process doesnt last too long or not constantly feeding them ul be okay i havent put any to spawn recently. have been waiting for the last spawn to grow a little.. have a couple picked out to continue on breeding with prob sell the rest id say as dont really want to keep 30 or so adult halfmons going to start conditioning again soon

welcome back david hope all is well with family loving the black hm hes amazing

brine shrimp/dropsy? thats a new one to me lol.. generally its water conditons / sometimes can happen with anatanboids... iv had trouble with some frozen blood worms... had a particular batch that nearly wiped out all my stock thru different tanks .. so now dont feed fighters them and havent had any cases since
