Other ways I have seen is to bank it up behind driftwood (which is what I have done) or othres have actually siliconed sheets of glass or perspex to the base or sides of the tank to act as retaining walls.

They are not called seasonal fish because they die yearly!

Is being half crazy the same as being a half wit? Looking forward to the pics.

adodge is right. Lots of fine leaved floating and planted plants all over the place.

Many of the cold water enthusiasts just have ponds.

Hi and welcome from me too 8)

Please note Jane, the FNZAS Treasurer, has moved so those sending subscriptions, capitations or Year Book levy, please send them to:

I think it is only illegal if you are caught :lol:

Remove the fighter (it will be nibbled), sharks (too big) and ghost knife (don't think they are cheap and will eat the neons and other small fish). I would swap neons for cardinals, rummy noses, harlequins or similar (although they are dearer than neons).

Not been seen for years but rumours are about. If you ever find any I know a number of people who would be very interested

Some Kapi-Mana members plus Grant and I will be in ChCh in May and hope to have a BYO at Loopy's place one evening More details soon in a separate thread.

Not in time for this conference wo :lol:

Sand does not absorb salt it just has it mixed in with the water. A good rinse will get rid of it. Collect the sand from as high above high tide as you can to get less shell in it. Shell will raise the pH. Of course, if you want a high pH, then add shell Make sure it is smooth sand as rougher sand can damage fish's mouths as they burrow in it.

Grant and I will be heading to conference on the 1.15pm Friday sailing. We are picking up Loopy from the train (leaves ChCh 7am Friday morning) and taking her with us. Anyone else requiring a ride? First in first served. We are happy to pick up anyone on the way. Anyone from further south need a bed for the night? Bus, train or fly on Thursday and we can pick you up, look after you, and take you with us. Loopy will be flying back but we will most likely be heading back on the Monday to make the 6.15pm sailing.

Most of mine were fine but one was a real stroppy lad and terrorised many of the other fish.

No idea. Any electrical wholesaler will have them.

Not really whetu. We bought it as it was on special but had nowhere to set it up so it stood on its end in our bedroom for several years getting more and more clothes stacked into it until we had the money to build the unit for it.

A lot depends on the nature of the individual fish, what they are with, and the order in which all the fish were added. They are not classed as "community" fish and should not be in one. I hope Milet you don't get up one day to find carnage in your tank.

I think adodge is probably right - it was a result of the phishing scam that seems to be rampant at the moment.

I always get my fluoros trade from Mastertrade and get Bright White, or Daylight (depends on the brand)

How big is it? I wonder if the other inhabitants will survive once it grows.

I used mine as a wardrobe for a number of years before it got filled as a fish tank :roll:

Hey I got my information from the internet so it must be right

You can also just tuck it into cracks wilson. It only takes 2 - 4 weeks to cling.

They can go in a community tank but most serious killie lovers keep them in species only tanks. They do appear in shops sometimes. Alan and caserole know all about them and a number of other people here keep them as well. Join the NZKA and get them through other members.
