I guess Curt didn't pay the bill It was a site I referred to often so I hope he sets up again.

Can anyone get into the plant geek site? I can't. It says This Account Has Been Suspended (Please contact the billing department if you feel you've reached this page in error). I assume it must be their account that has been suspended, which is why I can't get to it, as I don't have one (as far as I know).

I think they will need the wood if you are not feeding them bottom feeder pellets that have lignin or something in them which is what they get from the wood. I fed my BN fry whole pellets as they suck on them. Not sure why you have put them in a breeder net. How big is it? They will need more space than that if it is one of the little box net things I am thinking of.

I certainly did - I made wok's famous chocolate cake. Very tasty it was too! Youngest guest (aged 4) insisted it had to have candles but it was too windy to light them. Cookies n cream pav roll sounds interesting. Recipe please! :bounce:

Thank you to all who attended our Tank Parade with us. We had a great day, lots of fun, and delicious food at the BBQ (especially the desserts ) Special thanks to the FNZAS President, Jennifer, who managed to join us for the day, even though she is very very busy and had a broken toe! Hi to Lionel and Jeanette who came over from O'Kiwi Bay to join in the fun and to Scott and his family from the Tasman club who also managed to join most of the activities. Scott is setting up a tropical tank and I am sure he now has a few new ideas and thoughts on what he wants. We had 16 on the tour plus more non-fishy people (my family mostly) turn up for the BBQ. Special thanks George for the fresh kahawai, it BBQ's beautifully

We were having problems with spammers and hackers. These measures have helped stop that.

If goldfish can change colour, why not these things as they age?

Thank you all. I have had a wonderful day as it was our club Tank Parade finishing with a BBQ by our pond. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. :love:

Those leafy sea dragon things.

Speed it up Joe. We visit tomorrow!

I was going to suggest some fine plastic mesh shaped into a box to fit over the top. I had some barbs totally strip a huge stargrass plant within hours of it being introduced to the tank (overnight)

We hope to join in on those once I am fit to travel long distances again. We had planned to go to the Art Deco event in Napier but will have to wait until next year. We saw a number of those cars pass through here too. Grant is out this morning doing computer jobs. He went in his 1928 Chrysler 52.

We have people releasing rudd and tench into the Taylor Dam :an!gry Each time the whole thing has to be sprayed and drained - killing everything else &c:ry

I edited the first post to Dakota (I am assuming you are correct )

Or dry and fluffy after a losing battle with the carpet &c:ry

Not quite but a good thought A familiar (or imp) is an attendant subordinate demon in the form of an animal. So they took a shape that looked familiar.

So it didn't happen overnight but it did happen? :slfg: Cogratulations

We do not keep a list. Fish registered in the breeding scheme are listed in the Aquarium World magazine but many who breed on a large scale do not enter this scheme. Others do not wish to be named due to security reasons. If there is a particular species you are looking for then advertise in the Wanted section.

How deep is your gravel?

Ours was given to us by a fisherman who found it caught in his net. It was only about 15cm from tentacle tip to opposite tentacle tip. When in the tank you couldn't see it as it hid in the sand and changed colour to match. Unless it blinked, you had no idea where it was.

Yes, and no. They are little escape artists! :slfg:

That Riwaka place is very interesting. I was lucky enough to be shown through it.

Get her interested in them too and let her choose her own.
