HOWS YOUR NEW BABIES GOING ALAN? have you got any pics? i would love to see them

ok this is an idea i want to put to everyone! it will help out everyone of us! brooklands is trying to bring in Pimafix but with all the read tape it could take a year or more before we will or should i say could get it in, i think the fnzas could help in some way to help get this into nz asap! there are so many meds that we cant get that could save fishes lives, its so sad that maf and doc dont see fish as an animal because cats and dogs can be treated with meds but getting them for fish is hard! go to this web site and have a read http://www.aquariumpharm.com/aqfish.html if you think the fed should or could help save fish lives add your name to the list and lets do something to save fish!

i cant see steve letting me take photos ,but i can ask him what there name is next time i talk to him, i still think you should give him a call alan

talked to my importer and he said he had some blood red male killies and lots of females, he said he wasnt going to sell them and he was going to try and breed them , i just hope he can breed them, dont ask me what ones they are he didnt tell me :lol:

:lol: everyone up here says that about you south islanders getting good fish, it goes both ways mate, i no i wish my importer would get some of the stuff that redwoods gets in

we use to do it but its a lot of work and running a shop and hire tanks something had to go so it got the vote, most shop have importers that will import them in anything we want, as long as its on the ok list, some times it can take a few months as fish are seasonal!

as i said curex! :lol: but give any med you put in time to work they dont work over night , not much will

hi Susan The meeting is on Tuesday, 3 August 2004 at 7.30 pm yes i will be taking some baby golden blacked b/n :lol: they sold well it will be great to catch up with you again and anyone else that wants to come along. will see what we can do about a 2nd hand 4ft light men :lol: oh im so glad my man doesnt like fish

well i know i wouldnt :lol: its up to you.

melefix can be used in your tank and is very very good so try that, then curex DO NOT PUT TABS IN !

welcome Justin what caryl ment to say was you have one hole in the wall why not put more in :lol: saves on wallpaper or paint. look forward to seeing you round this site kim

yes try that curex is good and might fingers crossed help

think its ment to be filamentosus :lol:

just out in the shops now are aphyosemion filamentosa ( not sure on spelling) they are only sold in pairs , six million $ ? is i cant remember how much they are going for sorry.

is so much fun when any of your fish breed and you get babies hope your babies are doing well

:lol: if it was that easy, just easier not having them

augusts meeting- I’m giving a talk on algae control, I’m going to an aquarium pharmaceuticals seminar at the end of this month so I will be talking about all the up to date info I get told about, I have lots of questions to ask Mr Patrick Durkin from aquarium pharmaceuticals so I will pass on to you all the inside info that he has, as he should have new products coming out that kill algae. We also are having an auction so bring some money and stock your tanks up with plants and fish , remember that 1st round of the comp is in September. everyone is welcome

thats great!!!! glad to hear

you could try some cure ex see if that helps

thanks Rob , i would love to catch up with you , i will give you warning of when im coming back down next.

the fry are small but because most of them come out a nice colour you will see them, she will only have a few then when she feals safe she will have the rest, make sure that you have plant in the tank for the babies to hide in. good luck

if your water is right and you dont play with your tank to much (other than water changes) you should get more babies in 4-7 weeks they breed more as they get older and as they get use to doing it, they are so cute when they are little and they grow fast if you feed them up and do lots of small water changes

i only made it to pet city but im going down again in a month so i will give brian a call and see if he wants any golden black eye bristlenoses, or if anyone wants any from here i can meet you as i will be down for the day.

also what food are you feeding they need meat, or shrimps .

whats his tummy like? does it look pushed in on the sides of the fish? if so he has hole in the head but in the tummy, sounds strange but its something they get, you need to treat them the same way you would tread hole in the head on discus,
