That isn't a high fish load. If you get them to feed once or twice a week it won't matter that there hasn't been a water change. (I only do water changes every 3 months or so :-? ) I would go to the $2 shop and buy a daily pill dispenser and put the right amount of food for each feed in each compartment then ask your flatmate to empty one compartment in, say, each Monday and Friday or just once a week. Less feeding, less waste, less need for water change. Hide all other fish food

Yes I work from home but not doing what those ads offer. They are a ripoff.

We use timers on our tank lights all the time. Never had a problem. In a well established tank that isn't overstocked the fish will be fine for a week without food.

No Lyndyloo it is now $24 thanks to the postage rise

The information is on the home page

Some Amazonians? :lol:

Did you not see my apology Dennis? Yours bounced back as we missed putting stamps on it so it was re-posted yesterday :oops:

Is she getting cold? Is there somewhere warm she can sleep at night? I have one of those pet heatpads if you want to buy it.

Yeah Stella, now try telling your workmates you are a genuine cover girl :lol:

When I was a child (yes, many years ago) we had our own cow and she was milked daily. We then separated the cream (nothing like thick, fresh cream on your porridge) and also made our own butter. No idea how we did it as I was a child and didn't care :lol:

Mark is correct, contact one of the people listed under the club section of the home page. Or you just turn up at the next meeting

Perhaps the plastic bags makes them slip through the system faster

You would get the next issue when it comes out Cam, which is August.

Hope he gets better then. Our cat would never drink fresh water. She preferred the fishponds or puddles :roll:

and does the system work well?

Yes, you get to keep the Sellotape and bag

Probably not at this stage. Thinness can be a sign of internal parasites or worms or stress from birth. Try to separate her and see if you can feed her up. Not sure what to suggest if you want to try and medicate her. I assume all the other fish are fine?

As you ought to know :lol: NZPost changed its mail rates and made the allowable thickness less, so the mags were too fat when folded to go at 50c. This meant our postage doubled (plus the cost of the bags). They have just changed the criteria for permit post though and I believe we can now apply for that, whereas we couldn't before as we didn't have the volume required. They dropped the minimum number from 500 to 300. I am making my way through all the forms but I am pretty sure we can permit post for 65.7c per mag. There are a lot of rules re size and placement of permit logo etc that I have to wade through. I may also have to put the permit post logo on the magazine itself so a design change to the cover may be required or cut the advertising on the back to half a page (losing revenue) and mail merging names and addresses plus logo onto the covers as they print. PS. Sorry Dennis but your magazine will be late - bounced back cos we forgot to put the stamps on it :oops: . At least the yellow "insufficient postage" stickers peel off the plastic easily, unlike when they were on paper they stuck like the proverbial s**** to a blanket :roll:

I wouldn't have thought it was that cold in Auckland is it? I have never seen a cat shiver, even when it was sitting on the frosty grass so I would suspect it is sick.

Thanks for the ideas. I have emailed the landscapers but they probably won't remember.

Loking very good!

and a big headache :lol:

Nothing special. When they are ready they are ready. Just hope they pick a corner of the tank to breed in, if they aren't on their own :roll:

Some bubble walls produce much finer bubbles than others so are quieter. They also clog faster :roll:

I have just discovered the rules change in July and we will be eligible to apply for permit post which will cut the cost of postage! Still working out what is involved. May have to print magazines with the permit post logo on the magazine itself. There are heaps of rules and regulations I am checking out :roll:
