At this time of year you ought to have no trouble finding live critters in small ponds etc to feed the fish. Check nobody has sprayed nearby or anything though. Angels get in the mmod anyway with or without live foods.

Most buy eggs and hatch their own as needed.
-
Most loaches are not bred in captivity I think you'll find, that is why they are more expensive.

Most fish will cope with higher temps for short periods of time. It is constant high temps that cause problems. At night the tank temp will drop again.

He islooking very skinny in the top photo. Could be internal parasites.

Where exactly are you? We are BBQing at Pelorus this Sunday 8) Which way do you go to ChCh from your place? Via Blenheim or Nelson?

As long as the shop knows they are going to be bagged for several hours you should be right. If they know that they should put less fish per bag for you. We regularly bring fish up from ChCh with no deaths so far (you must drive slow and stop a lot as we do the trip in under 4 hours, inc comfort and food stops). We have brought them from further afield and had them bagged for up to 2 days without problems too for that matter.

Yep. The barbs spawn but eggs get eaten. Only had 1 fry survive. If I want to breed them I throw them outside in a pond (not with the goldfish)

They are just in my 4ft community so have umm pearl gouramis, bristlenoses, giant danio, hengeli rasboras, rummy nose tetras, golden and odessa barbs.

Did you ever do water tests? Whitespot is 99% due to poor, or wrong, water conditions.

Love it! :lol: My fish were obviously away when the food etiquette lessons were held as it is every fish for him(her)self.

Go to farm supply stores and get the stuff farmers use in dams. A lot cheaper than the "proper" pond lining. Do they have any farm supply stores in or around Auckland? :lol:

It will float.

If you are just running tropicals in a well insulated home the power bills don't alter much. We used to have 18 tanks running and our power bills were never particularly high.

Grant didn't want to be seen as a sex object 8)

Whether a snake is venomous or not has nothing to do with why they are banned. It is to protect our native birds and animals.
-
I suggest you post a question on there asking if it is the one I mentioned and, if so, did they realise it is a pest plant and illegal to sell?
-
Here's me with the filter in the pond. Gives you a better idea of size and depth... 8) and the fish were interested. Counted over 30 of them

It is the yellow flag iris that is an invasive weed. Iris pseudacorus. Are you referring to the 6 being sold from Westport?
