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:

It is possible it has damaged the eye on something and it may improve without intervention. If the water quality in the pond is good I would be inclined to leave it alone while it is acting and eating normally. Often the stress of separating them is enough to trigger more problems :-? If it worsens, or the fish's behaviour changes, I would remove it and consider an internal infection to be the cause. As it is one eye on one fish which is otherwise happy, I would be more inclined to think it an injury, rather than infection, at this point.

Ah well, back to the other suggestion then :lol: Try the starters but more likely the tube.

I'm with you there si_sphinx but to each his (or her) own I guess.

Try the starter but it is usually the tube. You may have bought a faulty tube. Try changing the tubes around. You know the middle tube is good so try the other 2 in that position and see what happens. Try the middle tube in the outer positions and see if the flicker changes too. As all the tubes are probably the same age they will probably fail around the same time.

Well I have added a light to the tank and can now count somewhere between 10 - 16 fry. The damn things won't stay still so I can count accurately! There is definitely 10 but unsure whether the rest are others or some of the 10 counted more than once :roll:

Imagine how much worse it will be with an H in Wanganui

Welcome back. Personally I could do without that bug as it drives me nuts! :lol:

I used spray paint from cans bought from the big red emporium

Sorry to hear that Alan. Best wishes to her for a speedy recover if possible. Donna we would love to have a BBQ at your place, thank you for the offer. Send me the details (address and time) and I will start on an itinerary so people have a rough idea of where we hope to be and when. I intend to work on it this weekend. It looks like we will start at Navarre's then spoon's then Redwood Aquatics so far. We have both days to visit as much as possible.

Misty used to climb under the lid and sleep next to the lights where it was warm. The only time she took interest in the fish was when we had a pictus cat. I think the silver attracted her attention...

They look like glorified goldfish bowls to me and I would not recommend one considering the lack of water surface area. I would have thought them too small for marines but I do not know anything about the salty side. I consider them too small for most tropicals anyway :-?

I'm afraid I know little about internal infections. Try Googling one of the many fish disease sites to see what they recommend. A lot of the meds aren't available in NZ though. Hopefully someone here can be more helpful :-? I assume these are the only fish affected? Have you any other bottom dwellers? It could be something in the substrate but if other bottom dwelling fish are fine perhaps you bought them alerady with the infection.
