I'm sure they can. That doesn't mean they will be accepted into the country they were shipped to

I thought marines needed MH lights and they were expensive to run?

Remind Dena to take some Girl Guide biscuits!

The same thing happened to one of my common BNs too. Seemed happy enough but got fatter and fatter. No other fish were affected.

You have to factor in the ongoing running costs too which are much higher for marine than freshwater :roll:

Some clubs have their own library of fish books members can borrow

... and a big grin on his face :lol: The two of them will have already built a huge pond up there too :roll:

It is with great sadness I have learned of the death of another FNZAS Life Member, Eddie Bowen. Eddie used to belong to the Marlborough Aquarium Club before I was born! An enthusiastic conference attendee for many years, conferences won't be the same without him On the bus trips, our other recently late LM, John Eastwood, would always buy Eddie the biggest ice cream in a cone he could get as he knew Eddie loved ice cream and always enjoyed the treat very much. For many years now Eddie has resided in Christchurch, the past few years in St Nicholas' Hospital, after a stroke. He had another stroke last week and did not recover. Our condolences go to his family at this time. His death notice was in today's Press and will be in tomorrow's as well with funeral details. Any local club members able to attend, please do so.

A friend was woken in the night by a consistent bang bang bang sound. When she investigated she found the cat, with a large rat in its mouth, trying to get through the catflap. The rat was too wide and the noise was the sound of the rat hitting the door as the cat tried repeatedly to come inside with its dinner. :sick:

I have heard oil works well. Does it slowly slide down the glass over time?

No need to waste money if you already have a tank up and running. The above suggestions are all easy - split existing media or run new filter on old tank for a month.

I would think that anyone who could breed rummys would be doing so in very large numbers and supplying shops. If so, they would not undercut those places by selling cheaper to hobbyists. Having said that, I believe there is a breeder in ChCh known for breeding many species, rummys are one of them.

What a difference! No wonder people have trouble identifying these fish :roll:

He might be a bit busy at the moment

Why not just call her Anzac?

I can't even use a calculator. That is what Grant is for (among other things) 4th grade math is beyond me :dunno:

sugar

Do you know how it escaped?

Good to see you are merely changing direction and not giving up

You haven't been looking at his tanks through rose tinted glasses have you? :lol:

I like their newest advert on TV :lol:

Welcome. There is good and bad advice everywhere. Best thing to do is research first. If you approach people the right way to offer corrections you won't get kicked out of the stores. Attitude and behaviour is important I have often corrected a shop assistant whose advice I have believed to be incorrect and have never had a problem. I have sometimes been listened to, then ignored or disaagreed with, but never kicked out.

See if you can get him to eat some cooked, shelled pea. Failing that, do a search for dosage rates for an Epsom Salts bath.

Welcome. Good to hear another parent and child enjoying a hobby together.
