Pink and red ones will buy more

Someone(s) take notes and pics please for AW :bounce: I am sure you will all have a great day.

Hope they manage to help it... http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/cutes ... sea-turtle

I thought they lived longer than that!

A bit of Viagra might do it? :lol: Have you time to do a small article about this hatching please LA?

He may have been quietly dancing by himself :lol:

If the tom is indeed someone's pet, then send them the vet bills! They might do something about him :evil:

Cover it well (Gladwrap perhaps?) so it has no gaps. What sort of filter has it got? It needs to vent outside. Either remove the filter (keep it wet somewhere) or make sure it is outside so it isn't sucking in the bomb stuff. Never bombed with a tank in the house so can't guarantee it is safe to do so.

And how many fry have gone down the plughole? I had a BN survive several hours out of the water once :roll:

Who would expect a fish to be stupid enough to swim into such a small place anyway? It would never occur to me to look for fish in the tube!

My tests things are too skinny for an idiot guppy to get into :lol: I am sure you were more affected than the fish and she will now be much hardier after her experience

See how many other clubs you can visit too. Might give you ideas of things to do in your own club

Because the price of freight makes it even more expensive :-?

Ooooh I bet the cyano is shaking in its roots! :lol:

Nelson shop prices are similar. We do not have a dedicated fish shop here, just a garden centre that sells some fish. We have extra freight and small population base here so can't get the cheaper prices offered by larger centres. To say a shop sucks just because it does not have the resources to get in every aquatic thing you want, all the best quality, at a low price is expecting a bit much Joe!

Got overexcited :oops: I am sure opstage will go up too

So did you sign up any new members? Do I have to do another extra print run? :roll: If so I would like to know fast so I can get them off before opstage goes up on Oct 1st

Maggots are fun to grow too and easy. Get a small bit of meat or pet food. Put it in one of those plastic containers with a clear lid (like they put salads in from the deli) and sit in the sun. Leave the lid off (this assumes you don't have pets or small kids who will eat it) for 24 hours to give the flies time to find it, then put the lid on, as it can pong a bit after a day or two The maggots grow quickly and are easy to pick out. Good for fish who are too big to take notice of white worms.

There are quite a few and the Wairarapa Club only went into recess 3 or 4 years ago. Doesn't mean they belong to these forums though. I can PM you some names of local fish keepers if you want to get in touch with some.

Planaria get out of hand if you are overfeeding.

You can actually do a total tank blackout for 3 or 4 days with no major harm to other plants. Clean as much of the cyano out as you can first. Do not feed the fish for the time it is blacked out either. Any idea why you suddenly have the cyano now? What has changed in the tank?

I have never 'cultured' live food. I just have a couple of old baths and half a mussel float outside which fill with rainwater. All sorts of wrigglers end up in there over summer months and I just net them out as required. Never feed them or nuffink

I suspect some rogue fish are smoking behind the driftwood!

Someone has been taking photos and writing an article about the weekend I hope?
