I would not have thought so but perhaps someone local could give you a better idea. Bubbleyes tend to get damaged in ponds

I don't think mixing goldfish and natives would work. Put your location in your profile please. Those in the far north can put more types of goldfish in ponds than those down south, due to temperature. Bronze or black goldfish are very hard to see in a pond. Mixing the types like you have will mean you will end up with a mix of hybrids. I suspect some of those you have will not survive.

Add oxygen weed

He's just planking

Poor LMCB &c:ry I hope he likes the little fishies on his bandage.

It will think it is king of the tank and won't be lonely.

Make sure you choose swift flowing water so it is not covered in algae. I have a friend who turned a bath into a pond and she also had a pedestal basin above it as a waterfall. She has to tilt it slightly forward, of course, and used perspex to make the water flow into the bath.

It will kill :roll:

Works well. No need fore filter. Don't overstock though. Get oxygen weed out of local streams and parks

I don't think I could sleep wondering whether it was made well enough not to crack!

Dear parents, please let Joel get more frogs as it would make him happier.

No idea as mine disappears on its own. The barley straw might work, I don't know :dunno:

Freesias (daffodils make me sick - literally) green grapes or red?

Perhaps one of the snails has been on Ebay and bought a RC helicopter?

Check their web site

There is something in the water - fry! :slfg: You need to set up another tank for them to try again

I thought barley straw was for green water, not that stuff

It is dreadful stuff but at least stays in one place if you don't disturb it. Mine comes and goes and is worse over summer. Excess nutrients in the water I suspect. I have not tried to get rid of it as it goes by itself.

I will be there in spirit Donna. Sorry I can't actually be there in person.

Contact the Kapi Mana club as they will be able to put you in touch with him

I had X-rays and an appointment with the orthopaedic surgeon today. Turns out what I thought was a muscle strain is actually a prolapsed disc. Now I have to go to Nelson for an MRI then surgery :tears:

You would not get them hatching fast enough to have enough to scoop out every few days, or it would cost a lot. I used to breed them in a 1kg peanut butter container similar to how oneyedfrog explained. I also hatched some in a large plastic container that sat on the floor of the lounge in the sun. The eggs had been gathered from the edges at Lake Grassmere (the salt works). They hatched, lived, reproduced etc but not in great numbers. Brine shrimp anyone? My little hatchery...

That is weird Jude although I understand the concept behind it :-? What is the problem Hdoubleu? Gives the cat something to look at. Lid protects the inhabitants. Our cat used to lie on the glass lid and watch the fish swim by. Kept her amused for hours and the fish seemed to enjoy it too.
