My family was also a big part of developing Rai and Blenheim. And we also have Smythe ancestors way way back.

I think you did the right thing too, working at a vet clinic I see the results of people not de-sexing their pets constantly. It might be because they seem to think that removing his testicles make him less of a male (rubbish, are you trying to tell me that those poor ladies who lose a breast through cancer are less of a woman?!) or because of the "couldn't afford it" excuse. I find it ridiculous that you would ignore your vets advice after reading Wiki! Searching anything on the net will bring you a opposing results at some point, penicillin is fantastic but look long enough and you will find that people have died from its use. Unless you plan on breeding well breed dogs responsibly, de-sex.

Linda do you have a picture of the brush? Or do you remember what the packaging looked like?

I groom my Saint Bernard and my cat with a Furminator Linda, as well as all the cats in the cattery at work, It's an amazing device and I would suggest anyone try it. I would also suggest brushing with the Furminator outside as it does remove a large amount of excess fur, it's not designed to catch and hold fur in it's bristles like the other brushes. It will hold a small amount of fur there but the majority of fur will build up on top of the coat and you can then remove it just by brushing your hand over the dog.

This stuff is really good with stressed out kitties: http://www.feliway.com

I can't imagine them wanting the consequences of being caught selling a potentially unwanted organism either.

I put 2 Pakistani loaches in our tank and they are doing a fantastic job of killing off the trumpet snail infestation.

It's just the one longfin, im tossing up whether or not to buy it myself :roll: But will try for a pic tomorrow.

We have a long finned Bronze at work, came in a shortfinned batch.

I don't really think I will bother coming again thanks.

We will bring another bucket of Rio's if there is demand for them. Shall we bring the big female up again for a size demonstration?

i am a 22 year old female.

Do you have any "Spotted Bristlenose" dude? The fish you have are not the same thing, notice the size and whiteness of Josh's fishes spots? and also the darkness of the whole fish.

We also have a couple 100 we cant wait to get rid of.

Any one keen on buying some spotty bristlenose? We will bring a bucket full if anyone is keen.

In Porirua there is Carevets and the Pet Centre. In Lower Hutt there is Animates, across the road is the Pet Centre. In Petone there is Animalz, who normally have some very good quality cichlids in. In Wellington there is Animates Kaiwharawhara.

Oh wow that sucks guys! Cant help with the tank situation but I know how frustrating it is waking up to that kinda thing. Good luck getting it sorted.

Loving the tank setup Josh, and those fish are looking very nice! Hope everything goes well with the breeding.

sorry Pheonix got myself horribly confused

We have a spare double bed and air bed if anyone feels the need to get out of Chch for any period of time, and can pick people up from the airport in the afternoon. Work can also help lodge cats in the cattery as long as they are fully vaccinated (although we are a vet so can do booster vacc's).

I have 30 odd tanks at work that I care for, each is individually filtered and water changed by hand. It takes me about two and a half to three hours to water change and clean the glass of every fish tank, with filters being changed on a roster. As long as you have people who are in the know about frames, tanks and plumbing if you go down that line, banks are fairly easy to set up. I would rather do It by hand and keep an eye on my fish than have an auto change system and miss out on spotting illness etc by not paying attention.

You must have a lot of eyes!
