Advertise them on Trademe? :-? Eat the chooks

I didn't know they were that shape :-? Are more on the way? I assume she will lay a clutch of them.

I only clean my filter out once or twice a year. No need to do it usually unless the water flow is reduced. The only way to know is to test the water. Can you tell us the pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate? Also, how long has the tank been set up? I gather it has not been running for long (the 8months?)? What size is it and how many fish were in it and how many left? I hope you did not mix your meds. Always only use one at a time and use carbon in between to make sure it has removed all the first med before adding another. 99% of problems are caused by poor, or incorrect, water conditions. White spot is also a sign of stress.

Try it and see. If it doesn't work they will spawn again.

Look forward to it! Make sure you make yourself known.

Indian fern is Ceratopteris pteroides/cornata. It is often confused with water sprite, Ceratopteris thalictroides . Both propagates by plantlets forming on the leaf margins. Another similar plant is water wisteria, Hygrophila difformis . H difformis propagates from cuttings. Its emersed form is a lot different from its submerged form. All three ought to be readily available.

Keep them in the dark with a piece of glass flat on top of the food and media mix. When comes time to gather some they ought to be at the surface on the glass, or near it in a mass clump. As soon as it is light though they will dive into the media.

LOTS of good photography opportunites. Grant and I will both be taking ours. He has been practising his macros. I will be needing good shots of the magazine article

I assume the angle of the lean is quite critical or they won't drain properly? :lol:

Sorry, yes I did mean they were planted but grow long enough for the ends to float.

I am sure you can just turn up. Find out which one is me and introduce yourself Tell them you read about it in these forums and that I invited you 8)

Parts of me have dropped and sag. Does that make me worth more? :lol:

My red rotala grows long and spreads out over the surface.

A tank parade is where all start at the house of the first person offering to show their aquariums (and/or ponds) to others. All then make their way from house to house (the people parade, not the tanks ) viewing everyone else's aquariums, usually starting from one side of the city and making their way to the other. They stop for morning tea along the way (always delicious) and will be visiting 3 pet shops too. They then have a BYO BBQ at the last house. It is a great way to meet likeminded people, get new ideas, scrounge fish and plants and have a good time. The Dunedin club members are very welcoming. I have posted start time and place in the FNZAS Clubs section It looks like this one will start in Mosgiel at 9.30am and finish at The Cove with about 10 houses to visit. Come and join us! If we can make it from Blenheim than I am sure you southlanders can make it from Invercargill or Queenstown :bounce: Looks like it is about the same time as it takes us to get from home to ChCh. It would require an early start of course, unless you came on the Friday and stayed overnight somewhere. The Dunedin camping ground is very comfy, from memory, although it is a few years since I have stayed there.

I have just been reading a news report on Stuff that advises all hotmail users to change their password as they have had a massive security breach So, those of you with hotmail accounts better read up about it.

She's got de fry in de coconut :lol:

Have a look at www.indac.co.nz

And how many of you southerners will be going to the Dunedin tank parade?

Those three at the station might buy your spare bulls

Plastic or fibreglass are easier to move

Welcome to the fishroom. We have all asked what some would think were 'silly questions' at some time or other.

Looking good. Did you put de lime in de coconut? 8) (old song)

Or farm supply places for the stuff they line dams. Stock troughs can be good too.

Do they have a size limit perhaps?

Laying eggs is very tiring so she will be conserving her energy and recovering.
