  1. Join the Upper Hutt Aquarium Society Welcome to the forums too!
  2. I should have made the connection as well as I too, have them on my monitor. Plus I have these... Can you sex them Joe? Are you going to keep your floofie fry?
  3. This isn't floofie Joe but I thought you would like it. It is a rainbow finch...
  4. My room is currently 29C. Surely your room temp will stay reasonable for a 6 hour period at this time of year?
  5. The reason for culling, rather than letting them all grow up, is usually a matter of space required.
  6. Maybe not but it would be a lot less stressful
  7. The water may have gone cloudy as a result of a bacterial bloom after the big rainfall. These bacteria use up a lot of oxygen. As the fish were gasping I would say depleted oxygen was the problem, thanks to the bloom. Adding a large airstone for a while would help too. I have had problems with my pond in the past winter. Every time we had a heavy downpour, I lost fish. Water stayed clear though and no fish were gasping anywhere. Interestingly, I have spoken to several others around the country who reported the same thing. Big pond, heavy rainfall, sudden deaths. All had well established ponds and had never struck this problem before. The only thing we thought was maybe the very mild winter may have had something to do with it, allowing more bacteria (of the bad kind) and stuff to flourish when usually they would be killed off in the cold.
  8. How many of the tanks will fit inside others? A bit of poly between sides and all should be sweet.

    Hi I'm new here

    Hi Jaimee. 5 is a lucky number
  10. How do you stick a gonopodium to a male? :lol:
  11. This was great fun and some effort had gone into several entries. I especially loved The Stig and his Ferrari, Spongebob Squarepants and the Eiffel tower. :happy1: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v144/ ... ?start=all I have no idea who won but most did not make it over the finish line due to the wind blowing them in the opposite direction. The two most affected by this were the Eiffel tower (they broke their own tower to lessen wind drag) and the tank. No matter how hard the tank boys rowed forwards they still got blown backwards at great speed! The cows managed to row their milk carton twice around the course! :happy2:
  12. It is breeding season. Maybe she has been attacked by an over-enthusiastic male?

    hello

    Sounds like we need to prune the plants again! :roll: Good to meet you.
  14. Both our budgie and conure loved chicken. :roll:
  15. Interesting you should say that Livingart. When we purchased Pepper, the shop gave us a box of "bird" stuff to go with it. Most was unsuitable, and in some cases, even dangerous for our bird!
  16. Damn. My son flew up to the Big Day Out and is already there :roll:
  17. Hopefully this theft makes the local papers so many will be listening for it!!!
  18. Good on you Ira. I hope an improved diet will at least stop future breaks Our new bird has been put on hold until next season as the parents did not produce anything this year :roll: We were offered a hand reared blue quaker but Grant wants a green.
  19. This is a general thread for fish questions
  20. Yes, my friend had health issues and they discovered the roof was leaking and mould had grown inside the wall next to where she regularly sat. She has not had any problems since they fixed the wall and replaced the roof.
  21. That depends on what he photographed last night! Remember this is a family forum

    Elite Heaters

    They get up at night and fiddle with the tuning knobs Seriously, if Grant was here (but he isn't) he could tell you why, but it is not unheard of.
