  1. 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.
  2. This is a general thread for fish questions
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  6. Great pics! Our rain gauge was not working and Grant discovered a very thick spider's web blocking it. Perhaps it was the same sort. Do you know what sort it is and how big is it? Can't tell actual size from those close-ups.
  7. I think hoplos will respond to a drop in temperature. Sorry I can't help with the loach query.

    Hi and Thanks

    Welcome and thank you for searching for answers before asking a question!
  9. :lol: What is this with all you sick people? First Jane, then Stella, now you!!
  10. I should have done some cropping for a more spetacular look but never mind.
  11. For those interested in what the Tasman area over Takaka way looks like, have a look here. Note the sub albums down the right side of the main Paton's Rock album too 8)
  12. Here is a seagull in flight (taken by Grant) same seagull...
  13. fyfe (wasn't getting at you, blueether, merely explaining my choice of last 2 letters )
  14. They aren't very good Joe as the bird was on a branch way above my head! I suppose you will now tell me it isn't a chaffinch either :roll: I was told that it what is is. I personally have no idea.
  15. True Joe, sorry I was uplaoding tons of pics. I suspect I have mixed it up in Photobucket too as I have pics of tuis, fantails and chaffinches :oops: Thanks for pointing it out. I will edit now 8) :roll: Original post claimed it was a tui until Joe pointed out my error :facepalm:
  16. Since useful actually only has one "l"... ululate
  17. Grant got this shot of a fantail coming in for landing. Not bad considering the poor light in the forest...
  18. What sized tank are we talking about?
  19. I came home to find my cold water tank at 31C :roll: Fish don't seem bothered. There is no point in turning off your heaters over summer. They will not turn on if the water temperature is higher than the heater setting. There is a danger of a sudden cold snap overnight and forgetting to turn them back on again.
  20. The little dots are copepods or something. Also edible for fish. Daphnia change colour depending on what they are eating. I used to have 2 containers. One with green algae in it and the daphnia were bright green. The other container did not have anything green in it and the daphnia were brown.
