  1. Give it a day or two. Theyare slower in NZ Post these days than they used to be I think. :-?
  2. Just as well Sorry I can't help with your search though.
  3. Most of you ought to have them by now. They also have an order form for you to order the FNZAS calendar. Please try and get your club to organise (or do it yourself with a fishy friend or two) buying in a group to save Jane extra work having to send them all out separately Note you can order up to 4 calendars for the same postage cost! Not sure when the calendars are to be sent out but I am sure they hope to have them out in time for Christmas. This magazine; Look at fish tank floristry Read about Hemiancistrus and Peckoltia Admire entries in Dunedin's & Tasman's Tank Crawls Find out about commercial fish breeding in Indonesia Learn about the Emeror tetra and apistogrammas Consider the Tiger Lotus Admire the fish drawings from Room 5 at Arakura Primary School Marvel at the aerodynamics of the boxfish See how to move house with a 2m aquarium (and a bit of help from your friends) Discover the fun to be had at a Pet Expo and more!! :bounce:
  4. Mummy might be happier if she discovers fish are great pacifiers and often stop babies crying if you park them in front of the tank where they can see the inhabitants
  5. An expensive option I would have thought, unless he owns the crane.
  6. I was about to comment but remembered we are a family forum and I, as Global Mod, am supposed to set an example :oops: :lol:
  7. The only reference I have seen in regards to a black area on a fish (as opposed to a whole fish turning black when stressed) is cancer Someone else may have other thoughts and some helpful advice though
  8. It refers to counting the spawn, not watching the parents actually spawn.
  9. Those self-employed of us who work from home can spend as much time in here as we like Mind you, when I am at "work" work I can get in here too. The other day the Dr wanted to dicate a letter and I had to say "Hang on a minute, my Trademe auction is about to come up!" :lol: So, while he waited, he went and made me a cup of tea. He is a sweetie to work for :bounce:
  10. Perhaps the acaras do too :lol:
  11. Great idea Stella! I can never find my car in the car park either as they all look the same to me :-? I think it needs a large fish on the bonnet too.
  12. Eheim are certainly good quality but also more expensive than the rest. I have only had one Eheim and had such a negative time with it I would never buy another but I am in the minority. Also used Fluvals over the years but find them not as easy to pull apart for maintenance as others. Mine also clogged a lot (barbs nibbling off lots of leaf bits which got up the pipes) AquaClear I have used for years and find they go well. Not as good as an external filter though as they don't hold as much media. My favourite at the moment is Jebo (not to be confused with Jebao or something). I have had mine almost 3 years now and it is great. I clean it out once a year and it is going strong. Can't say how it will go long term as I haven't had it long enough. Angelfish will be happy with any plants but will lay on wide leafed plants. Angels will go with most fast, short finned community fish like barbs, rasboras, tetras etc and larger fish like cichlids or gouramis.

    Hello

    Welcome Fushy and son. A 3ft is a good size to start with. Good luck as you build up your stock.

    Looks like it is smiling for the camera too :lol:
  16. great pics! If you have gone green Phoenix44 perhaps your Dr will prescribe some Erythromycin
  17. It looks great just as it is. You can still see the log
  18. My two requirements for a mobile phone is that it be big enough so I can find it and the screen big enough so I can read it! :lol:
  19. Congratulations. 8lb b? How much does a b weigh? Thanks for using pounds though as I have no idea how big a baby is if I am told it is 3628g :roll: Only waking once was probably a one off. He is psyching you up for the rest :lol:
  20. He is speaking in Blenheim tomorrow night on his way north so anyone wanting to attend here is most welcome. Those able to attend the Wellington talk I highly recommend you do so! I assume you have a data projector for this suphew? If not, we can help there

    Like Ira, I do a double dose (but 3 days apart) siphoning out any dead stuff in between.
