What size is the tank you have them in and what sort of filtration? Whitespot looks like the fish are sprinkled with salt. Fish can go into another dimension for short periods of time so you think they are missing

One of our Auckland members has been breeding cardinals in commercial numbers for years. In fact he wrote the abovementioned article.

Does anyone have this man, James, in their club? He has registered for conference but we don't know who he is or where he lives :-? It is possible he is a recent member and his club has yet to capitate him.

There is an excellent step by step article on breeding cardinal tetras in the article section on the main page

There are stickies under Freshwater and Technical, at least, giving step by step instructions

I think they are breeding falcons here to keep the other birds away that eat the grapes. Have you tried tying a kite or adding a wind ornament or something that flaps to the top of the dove cage?

Green water is good for fish, just bad for people viewing fish. Green water is an excellent food source.

I own a computer company and am the credit manager. That means my husband does the work and I manage to take the credit :lol: I am also a part time medical receptionist. I edit the FNZAS Aquarium World magazine (but that is an unpaid position) I would rather be doing as little as possible - with a good book in my hand

RCD - rabbit calcivirus disease Rabbit meat is very good for you. It is safe to eat rabbit infected with RCD http://www.maf.govt.nz/mafnet/publicati ... htm#E10E28

Wouldn't it have been quicker to ring Vodafone and ask? 8)

Thought I had better add my bit and up the age average :lol: Name: Caryl Age: 49 and holding Colour: blue Interests: reading, jigsaws, crosswords (thanks to having to produce the Aquarium World magazine I have gone off fish ) I have been keeping fish since I was 15 and helped dad build a fish pond. Although I had over 18 tanks at one time I now have 1 4ft community tropical. Music: eclectic tastes over many genres (except opera, jazz, hip hop, country & heavy metal) Nickname: obvious I think

The fish she is hand feeding is a lawnmower blennie I think. Sally will have to answer the other questions if she has time before she goes on her holiday 8)

I had no idea what brand my appliances were either :-? Dishwasher and washing machine are both F&P but they were given to me, I didn't choose them. Fridge is a Simpson (how appropriate) and oven is a Westinghouse. Induction hob is Thermor. Not had trouble with any of them. The dishwasher is over 10 yrs old, the washing machine would be about 5yrs. Oven and hob were new with the kitchen - about 7 yrs I think.

Unfortunately the emperor angel died last night

According to a book I have here... P velifera is also known as the Yucatan sailfin molly and grows a lot bigger than the others. Seems to be a silver molly though also comes in black and gold forms. Males 10 - 15cm females 18cm P sphenops is the marbled molly with a black one being bred in the USA in the late 1920's. Males 5cm, females 7 - 11cm P latipinna is the sailfin molly. Males 10cm females 12cm Main difference between P velifera and P latipinna is size. I think the latter 2 are most found here, not P velifera but I could be mistaken (yes, it does happen sometimes :lol: )

I have always just rinsed the driftwood well then added it to the tank

Marlborough Aquarium Club member, Sally, has 2 marine tanks. She is a beginner and loves learning about her tanks. You can see pics of the tanks and inhabitants here

OK, here's 96 pics of Sally's tanks and fish etc. I will put it in the saltwater section too. here

I will upload them onto my Photobucket and post the link later today when I have time.

Congratulations. Hope it all works out. A double wedding at conference would certainly be interesting :lol: Barrie you are just ahead of us. We've just had our 30th (only because I haven't killed him but it has been close a few times )

Just as an aside, this year we have representatives from every club, except Dunedin. A couple only managed this as some attendees are members of more than one club and are actually attending as delegate to another club but they are still attending, therefore there will be representation. This is the first time I can remember such widespread representation for many years. WELL DONE TO YOU ALL and thanks for registering. I note 9 haven't decided on transport. This is important as Queen's Birthday is a busy weekend and if you leave it too long you may miss out!

Try the lefty test http://www.anythingleft-handed.co.uk/lh_tests.html

I loved Rick Wakeman's The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table! My favourites change all the time. I too loved JC Superstar (went and saw it 9 times) Also like Chicken Run and Finding Nemo 8)

Cees That is the one I meant! I have been trying to find out for years what it was called. It was very clever and I loved it as a kid.

They are all gorgeous but very loud and bug beaks. I will be content with Bud the Wonderbudgie 8)
