twinkles

Last I heard there were two farms, breeding them for restaurants. Have you tried contacting these guys? http://www.clearwatercrayfish.co.nz/koura.html

Welcome

Thanks Here's a clearer pic from above, I love watching the bullies from this angle.

Waterfall end. .. From above. ..

I can't get to the photos until I get round to fixing my computer sorry. But here's a couple of it today, excuse the terrible quality from my phone camera.

Awesome Thanks for sharing

Sorry, I shall see what I can acces on this phone and repost them

Long time with no internets. Anyway, lost the two smelt a couple of weeks ago, so decided to move everything over into the new tank, even though there's still no stand for it. I made a wood frame to cover the corners safely and attach a lid to, then set it up on the floor in the lounge. Looks great, and the inotech pool filter works brilliantly. Just a bit empty for now, few bullies in this big deep tank. They love the background though, walk up and down it on their feet-fins, and cover the different levels much more than they did before. Just need some galaxids now, but I'll have to travel to find them.

I want to send them books now

Felt like a minute here. First couple of seconds I thought the dog was scratching on the bed, it was that sort of heavy rocking. Then I remembered he wasn't even in the room and dived out of bed. Hovered over mr2 in his cot, didn't know if we should run outside or what, then it stopped. Lights and everything outside kept moving for a while, my bird kite that hangs on the ceiling was zooming around the room lol. When nothing else happened I came and turned the computer back on to see where it was, did cross my mind that maybe it the was the finale for chch.

re trout, i've got an article from a fish and game mag about the differing opinions on the zealandia trout poisoning , and where it could be acceptable and possible to remove trout for the overall benefit to the sport. It mentions a few examples of small streams where only tiny trout grow, under 15cm, and how it may be better to block trout out of them and leave them to the natives so the resulting whitebait can feed the proper size trout in the rivers. So i'm guessing if they're stunted in a clean flowing stream they wouldn't do to well in a pond.

Congrats :happy2: She's a lovely colour too, nice blue edges

we could do with some endlers

If it doesn't come apart, attach filter wool/sponge etc to the intake bottom part with a rubber band, then sit it on the gravel or wedge it in place with wood if it has no suction cups. Perfectly good filter.
