Yeah that was it. 8) We also visited the nearby ladies' market, flower market, bird market, electronics market and jade market, to name a few. We stayed just off Nathan Rd opposite the Temple St night markets (our favourite)

Yes

The fish market we saw in Hong Kong (probably the same one as above) was a whole street of just fish. They also had several streets of craft stuff - shop after shop just selling buttons, bows, ribbons, lace etc

No aliens? Well that just took all the fun out of it :-? :roll: :lol:

I don't think we have Amano shrimp in NZ.

I would expect the plec chips to be better for them than the zuchini, as it would have more nutrients. Just a thought.

Hi and welcome

Are they getting enough to eat? 30 days is often the critical time for fry, food-wise, I have found

Welcome

I believe it is illegal to sell body parts (especially if they are not yours). Wonder if you can swap them though? As in... Would you like to exchange your red aro for my right kidney? :lol:

Welcome Alice. I suggest you join the Dunedin Aquarium Club (ask Denise about it at The Pet Warehouse). They could help you cycle the tank with a bit of bacteria filled media too I am sure.

I don't know what to say Loopy. You must be devastated

Too many places in Hong Kong to narrow down suggestions. Just try and see as much as you can. Have a good trip.

Empty??? Not full of Kiwi Crush???? :lol:

Don't feel sorry for me - I got a new kitchen Actually, once the tank was removed the island straightened up again.

The email from my loving son consisted of the words "I love you" but the word "love" was actually a monkey's red backside shaped like a heart :roll:

Up the top of the page you will see IR Chat (1). Ignore the (1) it is lying :lol: It is a chat room where you "talk" by typing in real time to whoever is in the room with you. If you enter through this forum (which Cees doesn't recommend but it works for me) you need to install Javascript first. This is a free download. Google it and follow the instructions.

There are 2 others coming to conference from Auckland but they do not belong to this forum. They live in Takanini and Mangere East. I don't know if those suburbs are near you. If they are I am sure I could ask them to transport fish if wilson brings them over. Easier to get someone to ship from ChCh though or they will be in for a long trip.

I didn't realise it was Mothers Day until my son texted me saying "Happy Mothers Day - check your email!" :roll: I had a lovely day. We slept in (after a late night tour of Monteith's Brewery in Greymouth then BBQ tea at the Railway Hotel (all you can eat sausages, bread and salads for $5 ) We got up and our motel hosts cooked us all breakfast of sausages, hash browns, bacon, eggs, toast and whitebait. We then headed up the west coast stopping at a model village then lunch at Punakaiki followed by a few bush walks to walk off the food! We then had dinner at Beechwoods in Murchison before arriving home. All in all a great weekend, not just day. Gorgeous top down weather to be touring with the MX5 car club 8)

You forgot me wok I get one as editor

I imagine AMAZONIAN will have a space in his fishroom to keep the fish during the weekend. Ask him.

Which channel and programme?

There are 4 coming from ChCh. Hopefully one of them can help.

Good to see you again at long last :bounce:

I had a 3ft on my bench island with 2 cupboard doors and centre bracing in the middle (though just a pole, not front to back solid brace). It bowed enough that I couldn't shut the doors :-?
