If they share it will no longer be a secret It may be a little cool for them at this time of year. Although it might differ in Auckland, down here they die off at this time.
-
I would have thought whatever deal carriej made with another person is between them and that person and nobody else's business. I think all that needs to be said on the subject has been said and further discussion is pointless so I am locking this thread as it is drifting off topic. It is possible the admins may then decide to delete it all since there are several threads on the same subject.

I had one a year or two ago suddenly blow up really large then burst. I have no idea why. None of the others were affected. :-?
-
Not another Alan!! :lol: Hi and welcome

The South Auckland club only doesn't meet due to current lack of interest (plus one member no longer lives in Auckland and another is heavily involved travelling overseas in the NZ Paralympic boccia team). I am sure if enough of you got together you could revitalise it. There are only 2 members actually living in Sth Auckland at the moment so how about giving them a boost?

I would have no qualms about a visit from MAF - assuming the person knew one end of a fish from the other :roll:
-
Brad I can assure you the thread was not deleted so MAF would not get suspicious. The FNZAS cooperates with MAF and I doubt MAF used to read this forum but I bet they do now!
-
I would upgrade. I have the Jebo 819 on my 250L but any bigger and I would actually run 2 filters on it.
-
It was more the personal debates re GM and GE that were the reason the previous threads were removed, not specifically the subject matter since at that time there was argument as to whether they were actually GM or not.
-
Sorry nobody was able to help. Without dissection it would be hard to tell what his problem was Put him out with the rubbish if you have nowhere in the garden or compost for him. If rubbish day is a few days away, freeze him in the meantime so he doesn't smell.
-
To reply to a previous question, yes, white cloud mountain minnows are now banned imports but you are allowed to keep and breed the ones we already have so make sure you do so as, once gone, they will not be able to be imported. This is one of the reasons the FNZAS tries to encuorage people to breed their fish.

Goldfish eat most plants but I have had success with Java fern and Indian fern. I also go to the local river that runs through town and gather up lots of oxygen weed

Welcome Maree

Before we do that the Wellington Aquarium and Watergarden Society produced an excellent 50 year booklet with the history in it. Interesting reading.

Warning to anyone who purchased neons from Animates CHCH
Caryl replied to iisfaq's topic in Freshwater
Common in clown loaches and not necessarily a shop's fault. -
I would have thought there would be enough bacteria in the filter alone to do the job.
-
Tim, sweetie darling, you forgot to put me on your mailing list again
-
I would have said the black marks are just a colour variation and nothing to worry about. The paleness though is an indication the fish is sick/stressed or old.
-
Silver around the gills anyone know what it maybe?
Caryl replied to Insect Direct's topic in Livebearers
Old age? :lol: Is it possible it is velvet? -
One of the first symptoms a fish is unwell is clamped fins. After that there can be a great range of symptoms caused by a great range of problems. Too much ammonia can cause redness around the gills, as it burns.
-
Constipated? Try getting it to eat a bit of shelled, cooked pea.
-
Or, as Jim suggested, add another filter.
-
Nice pic Faran!
-
I think the added plants may have temporarily upset the nutrients balance. What other problems?
-
Crypts will often die off totally before re-growing. Cut back the largest leaves so the plant can concentrate more on the smaller ones.
