Caryl

It will be good to see you again Alan. Check the MAC Shop Crawl thread for details.

My oldest would be a bristlenose who must be at least 10. A Dunedin member has several clown loaches in their late 20's, if not older.

OK all. Here is what is planned so far.... We hope to leave Blenheim about 6.30am so will reach Navarre sometime between 10am and 11am. We will bring a picnic lunch and lounge about at his place while we eat. Anyone who wishes to join us there please PM or email Navarre for his address. From here we will visit spoon (same deal with him for his address, unless he wishes to post it in the forum) then on to Redwood Aquatics. I think it best if we then continue over to Organism (don't worry John we are a small group so will fit in the shop!) and decide where to go from there, depending on time. Possibly Tower Junction or Critter Kingdom? I need to study a ChCh map I think to work out where these places are in relation to each other and Donna's place! We will be meeting at DonnaM's place, 18 Penrith Ave, Somerfield at 6pm for a BYO BBQ. We will have to decide which shops, and which order, we visit on Sunday after finding out where we got to on Saturday but eventually hope to see Redwoods, Organism, Critter Kingdom, Bubble N Squeak, Petworld and the Animates. Anyone missed? If anyone has some suggestions in the most economical way to see as many as possible from Belfast, round The Groynes, then ending up at Donna's at 6pm then suggest away please! My mobile is 021 158 6634 so you can text at any time to see where we are and where we are heading at any time. ALL WELCOME to participate for all or any part of the weekend. :bounce:

:lol:

Why don't you all go and bid on it where he has it for sale?

Not just any buns though!!!

We start at Navarre's place sometime between 10 and 11am (depending on how quickly we travel)

Cool! We'll be there! :lol: Just gotta confirm a BBQ start time with DonnaM

He doesn't actually train them. He merely leaves the dead, dried up, bodies of previous jumpers lying in front of the tank where the others can see them and hopefully learn from their mistakes

I often clean my tanks using salt so converting a marine to freshwater will not be a problem. If everything is rinsed well the salt residue will be negligible and not affect fish or plants.

1. Do I need to move them out of this tank? If so how, they are teeny tiny.. no 2. Will my other fish eat them? probably, but some ought to survive 3. What do I feed them? finely crushed flake food will be fine. Crush it between thumb and finger will be fine enough You could also try using a turkey baster if you want to try and remove some. The $2 Shop usually has these all year round.

OK MarkLB you have to turn up at the BBQ on Saturday night and bring some of those buns (and butter) with you!!! Details of the BBQ will be posted later, once I have confirmed.

Sounds like I need to call caserole and see what colour he has :bounce:

Good link Jenniferh thanks.

I think he should get 2 warnings at once for posting that!!! Or be made to buy us all one each :lol:

Sounds interesting Barrie. What is their scientific name so I can see some pics? Does anyone have some for sale?

We have the Globo4100C, the same as Stratos sell.

Length of fish? I don't care as long as they fit the tank and are easy to see 8)

I plan now to get a triangular aquarium in the bathroom. With the 2 right angle back sides being 480mm and the height 350mm I calculate a volume of 40L, give or take a bit. I am trying to decide what small, colourful, fish to stock it with. Was initially thinking guppies (gone off the fighter idea) but am now wondering whether this would be suitable for killies. If so, which mop spawners are the most colourful? I think I would prefer mop spawners to the peat layers. I have had A scheeli in the past. The gardneri looks nice.

If they are chocolate they are not "proper" hot cross buns (delicious in their own right though)

Are they doing more than one concert in Wgtn then?

They seem to make them all year round, remove the cross, and call them spiced fruit buns :roll:

He will order them in. They will not be stolen I am sure :lol: We sell them too (edit, I realised what I put could be contrued a competition 8) ) and buy them in a boxful at a time. There are many places to get them from - all legal I am sure! There is a big range in quality but even the cheap ones go well. Some of the real cheap ones are rubbish though :-?

Creme eggs are NOT Easter eggs (I will keep repeating that in the hopes I might eventually believe it) but I see an Easter bunny in there on the other packets :roll:

My son and his partner are going so we are staying in his house in ChCh while he is away :bounce:
