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?

Those fish are often kept in "cold" tanks because they can cope with cooler temperatures but are not truly cold water fish. They need to be at 18C at least or higher. Not sure when Stella's book is due out. Printing is being organised at the moment I believe.

Welcome. I recommend you buy Stella's book when it is published. It will have all you need to know about native fish.

Here is a train for you Livingart http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/3004356 ... -attention

The holes in the blocks are good to stash containers of fish food etc too

Hi and welcome.

I work in a combination - like, it is 2ft, 5cm and 2 doohickeys long

I am at work so can't measure the ones I used. The tank on them is 4ft x 2 x 2 (I still work in feet and inches when it comes to tanks) umm that's 1.2m x 60cm x 60cm.

Juliet's got talent! 8) :lol:

Who has them? Not at the moment Who has had them? ME! Experinces? Cinder blocks hurt if you drop one on your foot Things I need to know? See above Best place to get the cinder blocks from? I got mine from Placemakers but most places like that will have them Would a 600x600mm footprint be stable? How high could I go? Depends on how you arrange the blocks. Mine were 3 blocks high. As they are large and flat you could go higher but the base would end up overwhelming the tank and look out of proportion

Welcome fellow MTS (multiple tank syndrome) sufferer :lol:

We have been with AMI for over 30 years. Only once did we have a problem with a claim and it was our fault for assuming something that turned out to be incorrect. When I wrote off the Isuzu, the insurance cheque was actually waiting for us by the time we got home 7 days later! It was for the full amount too I have always found the staff in our local office very helpful and friendly.
