Perhaps it is because my aquarium has a lot of driftwood in it with tight hidey holes and is also heavily planted. I have no idea where the BNs are laying and the only way I know they have spawned again is when I see little fry munching their way along a log or leaf. I guess a lot are being eaten or I would be over-run with them by now. :roll:

I bet he is one happy fella :lol:

I find other fish do not eat BN fry as often as they do other types of fish. Perhaps the spines put them off :-? No special food needed. The fry will live off their egg sacs for a few days then will be off to see the world, happily nibbling on everything as they go.

My pond is a real hot bed this morning with groups of fish spawning all over the place!

I will see what I can do. In the middle of printing November Aquarium Worlds at the moment.

What are the best parts to see of Abel Tasman?

I am tempted to reply "His left knee is popular" but I will control myself :lol: You will love whatever bits you manage to visit and regret not seeing the bits you missed so it won't matter what you end up doing in the end. The kayaking offers some spectacular scenery. -
I avoid maths whenever possible, especially when fractions are involved! :lol:

Perhaps they rubbed off from the fella Grant says it is obviously a girl when you look at the lips on the first pic - she has had collagen injections :lol:

Male fighter looks like a female swollen with eggs.

I just put a few peas aside when cooking tea, rather than cook some especially -
I think you will find you have a girl. When viewed from above, girls are a bit wider (or a lot wider) and appear slightly 'out of line' on one side. This is because they produce eggs on one side at a time (like humans) so will stick out on one side more than the other at most times. At this time of year they are getting ready to spawn so I suspect she is full of eggs. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it

I didn't even notice the one on piggy back until you mentioned it! I also thought the other one next to mum was her leg at first :roll: :lol:

I assume you are referring to the fish? :lol:

For those of you who love vintage cars, tractors and other machinery... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v144/ ... ?start=all Grant was parade co-ordinator so was in the front cop car directing road closures, speed etc.

A week! She has my sympathies :-?

Apparently they are voracious hunters and eat small fish.

I think these are the things they say you should not let get into your aquarium?

Grant says it is a young triffid and be careful to wear glasses when you are near it I sent the pics to my dad (a gardener) and he has no idea what it is. It is very pretty though isn't it? I gather the majority of the plant is underwater with just a few stems growing emersed?
-
I know little about diseases but that looks internal to me, rather than an external source :-?

You need a bigger fishroom

Looks like you are having fun. :bounce: Is it time to update your sig yet? It has been a long 2 months. We expect a photo of you at graduation too! 8)

You could always post them the cake -
Did you offer to pay by cake first? Might be worth a try
-
Are you paying by banana, or chocolate, cake?
-
Did you get any sort of reaction from them when you told them you were changing companies?

Grant and I had dinner at The Mud Castle in Upper Moutere last weekend. This is one of the bathrooms... I noticed one of the fish had carp pox but another had a tumour-like growth on its head. I have never seen anything like it. It appeared otherwise happy and healthy. Anyone seen a growth like this?
