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)

"I am NOT allowed to get any more tanks" Dennis said that 2 tanks ago!!! :lol: Good to see you in here Sally. I can post pics of your fish and tanks if you want as you know I took heaps

Vet says; The droncit is deworming the fish so the white poo may just be secondary to dieing parasite but its hard to say?? As long as they are getting better and better and they are eating I wouldnt worry too much. It sounds like they are being good and attentive to their fish!! Some roughage might be good for the gut like some peas.

Perhaps it means the prazi is working and the body is ridding itself of the parasites the only way it can? :-?

Remember the guidelines state no politics.

This is a high percentage of lefties considering it is only 6 - 10% of the population are supposed to be lefties

Another one??? Happy Birthday Paul

I can vouch for wok's cooking

Have asked her. Hopefully we get a reply soon. She is in the USA so often posts afternoons our time.

The vet finally got back from Mexico 8) She says; It looks like they already started treament. Basically a healthy fish should not get sores that lead to ulcers. There has to be some reason that the skin is becoming suseptable to infection like that. With the dwarf gourami we know that they have a virus that causes necrotic ulcers. One of the things that causes a disruption of the skin and leaves it open to infection are ectoparasites. Lice and anchor worms are visible with the naked eye. Flukes are a little less obvious. If you can rule out water quality, virus, and trauma I think parasites are really a possibility. Normal dewormers wont kill flukes. Praziquantal is what is reccomended. It is a relativly safe medication that is used in dogs/cats/livestock for the treatment of tape worms and people to cotrol tapeworms and schistosomas infections. There are a lot of different reccomendations for treatment. It can be harmful to some marine fish but golfish usually handle it well. You can dissolve it in water and use it like a treatment bath, or you can feed it in medicated food. Its also not a bad idea to increase the salinity of the water for a week or so. Or even treat the lesion topicly if your fish are large enough for safe handling It sounds like your forum member has done her homework already and is off to a good start. I tried to join and post some confirmatory info but I couldnt join so you can pass along what you want from this

Watching that little man walking reminds me of a 5 minute TV programme that used to be on when I was a kid. It was a white chalk man on a blackboard and it told a story. I think it was Belgian. Can't remember the name of it but I loved it. No words to it, the drawing told a continuing story in one continuous line.

I am actually ambidextrous as well. Although I write with my right, I do everything else as a leftie. My family have always referred to me as a leftie so... Lefty - 7 Righty - 9 A large number of architects are lefties too I think.

They are a company with shareholders. They are supposed to make money. They are not a charity.

The wet and dry vacs work fine except the containers are too small and it involves a lot of fiddling round emptying them.

Subway get my vote. The burger places are like eating limp cardboard.

Being sorry isn't good enough - GO CLEAN THE GLASS! :lol:

Here's the original cake I made for my daughter for her 7th (she is now 28 ) Have always made fun cakes for birthdays. Nothing professional looking but appreciated by the recipients. Same daughter aged 3...

The birthday girl sets her cake alight...

Making the cake is easy. Decorating it is harder :lol: Transporting to Napier would be harder still :roll:

If it is identical on both sides I would suspect scale damage from it having jammed itself in something, or between something.

Too late Jude, she liked them both and we ate them :lol: Thank you for the compliments.
