A common behaviour with oscars. Apart from trying to tempt him with different food, wait until he gets over it on his own. Have you tried banana?

I would think local vets would have the right sort of instrument to pull it out of the mouth.

A shift like that can often set them off. If something upsets them it does not take them long to breed again. Have you something for them to lay their eggs on? If not, they will likely choose somewhere stupid, like around the filter outlet or on the heaterstat :lol: Try lying a bit of slate on an angle against the side of the tank for them to spawn on.

That has been tried in the past wok but unfortunately most members did not then get their magazines.

The pdf files would average 2Mb so too large for many - especially those on dial-up. You bring up a point re burning your own though. What is to stop one person getting a CD, or email version, then copying it and giving it to other, non FNZAS, people? How do we control who gets a magazine if they haven't paid for it through subscription or club affiliation?

I have ground down all my molars and need to buy a wig

Beautiful pics and fish

Did you get that information for me Warren?

Bummer billaney. I know exactly what you mean as my Odessa barbs didn't cope with 34C either

I actually have had a number of member names sent with no address details. How am I supposed to send them their magazines?? Burning the magazines on CD has actually been suggested wok and may be used in the future. It would create extra work as I split the mailing list into post and CD sections but I guess a lot less folding, stapling etc. If burned onto CD it would be in a pdf format. Would many be interested in getting this instead of a printed version? I am certainly willing to llok at the option. The breeding records were, for the first time, sent out on CD this year.

They DO get reminded!! :evil: Burn what information onto disk wok?

Will you not be at the Wairapa Livebearer Show at Labour Weekend then wok?

I think it will also slowly dissolve in the water

Oh the AW gets read by most, I was referring to the YB. Grant will help. I also have 2 club members willing to help, and they have done so for a couple of years, but they work long hours and have busy lives too.

That you with the surname starting with P antwan?

Right above this post is a sticky with step by step instructions. Basically, you need to have somewhere online that hosts photos (like www.Photobucket.com) and allows links. Once you have an online host you send the photos from your computer to the online host then you can link the photos there to your post here.

I gather there was plenty of pushing wok but... Finally got North Shore's list this morning Willy. By the way, I started printing the AW covers this afternoon. Won't be long now - well, another week perhaps. Takes a few hours to print covers as they have to go through at half speed and single side at a time. Pages take 2 or 3 days each magazine to print all plus I also have to do the YB covers, again one side at a time. THEN we have to fold, staple, join 2 mags together, wrap, address and stamp them all (x2). Hope to have a final full master list sent tonight so I can then build up a new mailing list. It is times like this I wonder why I do this job - especially when I discover the majority don't even bother reading them

DC3? I only got hold of a little yellow biplane. Damn! (BTW, caper is a she )

Fatdog you need to PM me with your real name so I know who you are 8) Wok, it is the club secretaries whose job it is to get the lists and caps in, not the FNZAS secretary's job! Nothing to do with Mekhaela.

Goldfish can also change colour over the years. I had a goldfish that lost all body colour but had gorgeous orange fins. He started out orange all over for a number of years and changed when he was about 4 years old.

Make sure it is pure peat too with no fertilisers or mould inhibitors added.

Better yet. Please write an article (with pics) and send it to me for pulication in the Aquarium World magazine Pretty please.

I would select other barbs, tetras and rasboras. You need fast swimming fish to avoid being nibbled by the tiger barbs. Shoaling fish like rummy noses, golden barbs, cherry barbs, harlequins etc. Pentazona barbs look like tiger barbs but do not nip like the tigers. You could even add gouramis (not the dwarf variety). Avoid Buenos aires tetras if you want a planted tank One bala shark will be fine on its own. They are easily startled though and may try to jump out of the tank so avoid sudden movements when you are near the tank. Also avoid sharp edges on decor as the shark may damage itself diving for cover. Bristlenoses and corys for the bottom.

Very nice photo despite the crappy camera I bet we all wish our tanks looked that good!

Very nice fishboi
