I had a labyrinth fish I am sure drowned after getting trapped in some plants.

I am sorry to annouce that our FNZAS Life Member, Eddie Bowen, has had a major stroke and is in ChCh Hospital. His family reports that he is able to talk, is alert, and recognises people but probably will be unable to walk again. If anyone wishes to send him a card, please send it to his home address (in the YB) or look up the address for ChCh Hospital in the White Pages. It is hoped he will be moved to The Pincess Margaret Hospital later in the week for rehab. Attendees at conference all know Eddie as he has long been a keen participant, despite deteriorating health. Here he is with his ice cream... along with fellow LM John Eastwood. If anyone wishes to send best wishes here I will print them out and take them with me tomorrow

Everyone in ChCh knows to go to Organism for good quality fish, helpful service, and that fish that is "a little bit different"

Welcome to the fishroom

Rotala is one the plants called green pine. I have tons of it and coming to ChCh on Monday Mine is actually red but in low light it turns green.

I too think it's the BS. They always seem to poo more than they eat :lol:

Filters are a relatively new invention you know Designed for lazy fishkeepers :lol:

I suspect they might mean Boesemani?

I know a man in Wgtn who has bred fish for many years and who has never used filters in his tank. Small daily water changes and low stocking levels are what he says

To play this game the poster offers the first clue. The next person asks ONE question to which the poster can reply yes or no. You should not post the next question until you have an answer to the previous one as it may affect the next question. If the fish is not guessed within 20 questions, they lose the game.

Too late! :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol:

A couple of weeks usually.

There have only been 2 AWs out as they are quarterly. The next is due in August! I believe I sent you Feb and May? Not sure what happened to your membership card. Will look into it. New ones come out in August and I will make sure you get one. Send me an email or PM to remind me your surname so I can check for you.

Yes, Powerpoint was my thought too

Check the trade and exchange thread as FlowerHornDude has some for sale

They sound like apple snail eggs. Here is all you need to know; http://www.applesnail.net/

Dropsy makes the whole body swell, not just the stomach as in your pic.

Mine grows very tall with few plantlets so I think lack of light may be the answer

My biggest problem is I can't read the screen :lol: :oops: so no point in having movies or anything on it. Txt is hard enough :roll:

Not me. I still have my old Nokia that I use to send and receive the occasional text. I don't ring people on it (cos it's prepay and expensive to do), it doesn't take photos, play music (or perhaps it does but I don't know) or anything else.

Please stop "shouting" at us and typing in capitals. Koi angels are fed the same as ordinary angels (they are just a colour variation) - a mixture of good quality flake foods, live and frozen.

We had 4 overnight visitors stuck here as all the passes through the Southern Alps were closed due to snow and ice. We went up to Lake Rotoiti this morning to have a look... here

I am sick of people blaming "the government" (and I do not care which party is in at the time). They are not the ones setting the prices. Yes the tax take has increased in fuel but it has decreased in other stuff because there is still only a certain amount of money to be spent. By being more frugal in our fuel use, but not spending on other large cost items, the tax take has actually dropped. The major problem with the fuel costs is speculators in the US. I too walk, or ride my bike. I am lucky I do not live in a city where this is too dangerous! Our "home" vehicles get used very little but Grant's work 4WD (diesel) makes up for it. In the last 2 weeks he travelled over 2,700km. In the last 12 months he did 47,000km but this year will be more, up to around 50,000. He is averaging 1,000km per week.

Hmmm are these dark or milk chocolate? :lol: (You can combine the S3X and chocolate you know )

I don't think so and can no longer remember what it looked like so it must have disappeared :lol: :roll:
