  1. 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.
  2. Planaria get out of hand if you are overfeeding.

    Cyanobacteria.

    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?
  4. 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
  5. I suspect some rogue fish are smoking behind the driftwood!
  6. Someone has been taking photos and writing an article about the weekend I hope?
  7. Personally I think teachers are fairly paid but the teacher aides are definitely not! In some cases I know of personally the teacher has the aide doing the teachers' work but at the lower wages of an aide.
  8. Those little red anemones are common along the Kaikoura coast and I had them in my cold water marine too. A lovely little anemone.
  9. I too was surprised at the temperature drop in just an hour - unless the house is an old, uninsulated, very cold, one.
  10. Missed us. We have had heavy showers but we have been having them almost daily for some time now. It is windy but no more so than usually at this time of year as we head into the nor-westers. :roll:
  11. Occasionally certain species can be found in fish shops but your best bet is to join the killie club. They do good deals for club members.
  12. Thanks navarre :lol: Never occurred to me as I don't think any of them are worthy of submisison.
  13. Welcome. There are a number of killiphiles here who can answer any killie questions you may have
  14. I had a similar thing going on :lol:
  15. I assume the leaves in that pic don't go with the flower P44?
  16. I think my plant is what they call mini sagittaria (although it is now very tall). It has flowered. Does this help the plant gurus confirm what it actually is please?

    hello

    Welcome Jaime. You might find fish keeping a bit frustrating in NZ after keeping them elsewhere :-?
  18. Yes there are. Do you plan to buy a commercial aquarium substrate?
  19. If you send in an article (and it is published) you get a free copy of the magazine I look forward to seeing it - with pics :bounce: :lol:
  20. I left for work 10 minutes early so got it in the post (and yours navarre) this morning

    Hi :)

  22. Yours was one of the ones posted a day later I think Ryan.

    Hi from AKL

    It's too late - you are already addicted :lol:
  24. You got them already??? As said, I only posted them yesterday. A few more were posted this morning (I had printer issues) and Bilbo's will be posted on Thursday as I can't get to the PO before then and only just got his address. We also thank Central Fishkeepers for deciding to support us by affiliating
