Caryl

Sounds like you are better off with your Asian name :lol:

Two Dunedinite attendees arrived here about midnight. Now have to remember to pick wilson up off the train then wait for 3 off the ferry. All have lunch here then we will be off too! :bounce: My son and daughter in law are looking forward to feeding the fish (they will be here while we are there so we miss their visit) but will miss Bud. Bud has had his cage cleaned out and is all ready to go. 8)

If you don't want them to breed then don't get girls. Are you sure you actually have 2 boys? It won't hurt him to make bubble nests all by himself

Me too but I think it was water based paint. Cover the top of the tank with a blanket or something and make sure the room is well ventilated.

Hey at least he's remembered! :lol:

Caryl A mixture cos my parent fought over the names Carol and Meryl :roll: Carol = melody, song (I can't carry a tune in a bucket) Meryl = falcon (I'm a bird :lol: )

and me Wait until you see what has been donated for raffles! Plus we have Caryl's Treasure Chest - full of second hand goodies available for a donation.

It was a first for me too! :lol: I put it on high then popped up to check the email. Dumb mistake. It was just as I remembered "Arrrgh the porridge!" and headed down the hall that I saw the smoke, smelled the smell, and then the alarm went off. :roll:

We are pretty much salt free here but porridge is one thing that MUST have a bit of salt in it :roll:

...and set off the smoke alarms burn porridge! :oops: Good to know the alarms work as they should I guess :roll:

All good places suggested. We loved our time up there a couple of years ago and never ran out of things to see and do. You have to do Driving Creek Railway, Waiau Waterworks and the Butterfly and Orchid Garden at Thames. We also enjoyed Rapaura Gardens and don't miss the Ngatea Water Gardens (not quite Coromandel but worth the stop). The Ngatea gardens have funny signs all the way through and very well set up displays. Kids love it (they love the waterworks too). I think it must be the only gardens in NZ with a pterodactyl nesting area! :lol: We hired a house for a week at Tairua and headed out in a different direction each day. Have a look at my Photobucket albums here

Hi and welcome. You have joined the FNZAS or just signed up to this FNZAS forum? There is a big difference.

Hi and welcome Carla. Adding 21 fish to a tank that is only a month old might explain the deaths Of course, you may have a 250L+ tank for all I know :-? Do you know anything about "cycling" a tank? Read up on the subject and you will find it very helpful and avoid more deaths although, as livingart said, if you have live stock you also get dead stock.

Hi and welcome Lester. I have been keeping fish for over 30 years and still have a lot to learn too :lol:

No, you said the mods were full of innuendo - just like the Simpsons. As a Simpson myself, I am not full of innuendo :lol:

Excuse me but I object to being referred to as a nazi. Nor am I full of innuendo!

I looked at the time it was posted and the time the post in the mod section said they had removed it :-?

About 5 hours I think 8)

Mine grows big leaves at the surface too. It is the light. I only have 4 daylight fluoros on my tank.

Obviously it's time you moved

Depends on whether you want to see the pretty colourful fish or not. Goldfish are pretty much it as everything else is too hard to see.

Good to see you made it home safely Sally. When I saw more unrest on the news and that tourists were being attacked I was concerned about you. Good to hear the fish survived as well 8)

All my driftwood was just picked up from the beach, washed and scrubbed, then added to the tank. Never had a problem.
