Brown water in aquarium.
whats the difference between a water ager and a water conditioner? As i know water conditioner clears it of nasty stuff like chrlorine, Im not sure what they agers do, perhaps its that what makes it brown. Maybe try a water conditioner instead of an ager.

Help
My fighter coby has had some kinda loose white (looks like general sorta muck that gets stirred up from the bottom) thing hanging out of his gills, I thought it was just a bit of something stuck there but it seem to be irritating him today and hes started breathing on the surface a lil more in the last hour. He'll rub on the driftwood then shoot off rapidly for another breath. I might be over reacting but rather safe then sorry.

What tail type is my Betta?
The big red dealers Keyring is working very well, I the amount he can flare up has increased since the day I got him, I guess my lil man is getting stronger.

anyone here play paintball?
Walk up the hill behind that course next to the hot pools, go up far enough so you can see that whole flat grassy area, if you quiet enough you wont even disturb the Sambar, and even if you do their call will let you know which direction they are, and they never run too far if they can hear you chasing. I used them for dog food as only the back steaks are kinda nice and even then. But theres plenty there, a big stag thats so far managed to avoid the scope.

Yeah sorry about that, I didnt think mentioning a Joey would bring this much on the subject, my bad there. Oh how cute that kid is, Im going to see it tomorrow. Perhaps Mark will trade it for my sister.

Ideas for new tankmates??
I got 34ltr tank, 1 male fighter getting him a girl friend this week if I can. 3 albino cory, all very small fish and Ill be getting a much bigger tank in 3 weeks. I just feel theres something still lacking in there, if i still have room for something else in the community what would be a good friendly fish for these guys. I like schoolers but obviously my tank limits that. I love bolivian rams.

How many divers out there?
Id love to dive, would help my career alot too, but for some reason it dont happen lol. Nearly drowned when I was 4, Im cool on the surface of the water, soon as I see underneath im outa there lol. Although I have never acually tried diving, I guess the fear of faliure is worse then the fear itself. My friend is a great diver so I just send him down lol

I HATE KIDS
I could never understand, specially after those bush fires why they didnt send some to aussie, its not like they are hard up for food here most are pretty darn healthy, and we sure wont miss a few. I hate 1080 I did a big report on it last year at poly, aweful stuff. There is so much room for employment and exportable products, as well as improving the enviroment. Well experienced trappers never catch anything native in their traps. Not always possums, but rats, stoats, ferrets, cats all end up in them too. Doc has some training courses in pest management, about $3000 from memory, :roll:

Never played, Ive seen them playing next to awakeri hot pool tho, we were carrying a sambar deer out, theres heaps up those hills. Looks like fun.

I HATE KIDS
Ill start trapping people too, auckland seems pretty over populated, might be a good place to start. A flat white as bait.

Lawn Mowers
Theres your solution, follow them around till they get annoyed at it and throw it down a hill

Bah! I should have known the omnipotent and omniscience google could have done it better.

Lawn Mowers
I dont know what aucklands dumps are like but usually If i need a mower, chainsaw or linetrimmer or something I head to a dump to the recycling section and bring a few home, doesnt take much to get them going usually just seized, an overhaul sorts that and mower motors are very easy to figure out. Specially B&S. Ive got 3 mowers at the moment I got working for under $40 the lot, I do havea lot of parts kicking around the house tho. I also seen an episode of mythbusters which lead to rip apart my flymo in an attempt to make a personal hovercraft lol, needless to say once the alcohol wore off the idea didnt seem so appealing.

What tail type is my Betta?
Lol Bikbok I just tried the pen trick on Coby and it works well, he follows my finger around usually but doesnt flare up, the pen tho, I wonder what it is about them.

Are they gettin Freaky?
no egg clutches from what I can see, maybe its just practice or something lol. I hope they dont spawn only 34ltr tank, they share that with a fighter too.
-
Are they gettin Freaky?
My Corys I got yesterday are happy as, perhaps 2 happy, Nilfisk the middle sized one keeps pushing Dyson the biggest one around sideways, like they are trying to spell a work in catfish starting with the letter T and they never progress from there. Dyson doesnt seem to be trying to swim away, just enjoying the ride lol. They been doing it on and off all mornin, lil hoovers just following them around trying to get in on some of the fun.

Average at Animates
Retail chains such as could do more to get their staff enthusiastic, they are on low pay and I know working in retail when I was younger, $12.50 just wasnt enough to make me want to be and helpful as i can all the time, Our Boss was smart enough to make sure we had huge insentives between the stores to out compete each other, he would send in under cover customers to access us when the managers where out. Top store of the week would be a meal out, or movie vouchers all kinds of things. And what I like the most is he would make sure we spoke to us personally every day at each store, he obviously couldnt come to every shop but a simple phone call or an email to keep his staff on more of a personal level. My last trip to animates I just ended up flirting with one of the staff members there, she didnt know alot about what I was asking but I could see she was making an effort, and was happy to admit she wasnt sure on something, and said she would ask around and look into it for me. But on other occasions (specially sat/sun) I tend to find its a little hard to get help, You get plenty of "hi" and smiles, but no can I help you's. Theres my 2 cents anyways
