  1. One of my Dutch friends is an excellent baker (as are most of the Dutch in my experience) and when my husband helps fix her computer (and refuses payment as they are little things) she pays him by baking Dutch Apple Cake. It is delicious! We also have a mobile van that attends big events like Garden Marlborough selling Ole Bolen, Olie Bollen or Oliebol - it's name and spelling seem to vary. They fill them with whipped cream and sprinkle with sugar and/or cinnamon !drool:
  2. Dwarf gouramis seem to be very sensitive to all sorts of things and it is widely reported they are prone to all sorts of problems and diseases, dropping dead no matter what is tried :roll:

    hey guys

    Welcome and we look forward to hearing more about your fish and reptiles
  4. Welkom Aad, The man who originally started this forum is also Dutch - Cees. Multiple tank syndrome is certainly a world-wide disease and there is no cure! :happy1:
  5. I always thought it was a sign of poor breeding :dunno:
  6. Trademe have removed it
  7. Wooden boxes are best as they breathe. I always had mine in a little wooden box (thanks Alan) with glass on top under the lid. If I look back in past AWs I should be able to find an article by a Wgtn member who kept his in the garden using sea weed (he lives in Lyall Bay so had ready access to the big strands of kelp)
  8. Why don't you ring the shop and ask?
  9. There doesn't seem to be much suction on that vacuum cleaner!
  10. Cut them off or leave the cable tie there. As long as there are roots remaining stuck to the log it should be fine.
  11. :iag: You get a group of fish and add them to the pond. Simple. You don't even need gravel or any substrate if you don't want it. Don't expect any fry at this time of year though.
  12. Nothing was removed. I suspect you are just too drunk to realise you have been offensive :roll:
  13. When I had white worms they were kept in the hot water cupboard.
  14. I am wondering where the deodorant is being applied that it can get into the fish tank
  15. They can get sores and bumps from fights or a fright when they have whacked themselves against something. Keep the water conditions spot on and it should recover quickly.
  16. Never heard of Stresss Zyme affecting fish like that so doubt it has anything to do with it.
  17. The fish should recover as the temp drops slowly again too.
  18. Well look on the bright side - you hadn't planted it out and added fish!
  19. Put fish in planted pond. You don't have to do anything.
  20. I'm not sure which is more disturbing... coming up with the idea, or putting it on Youtube :facepalm:
  21. Our tap water always has high nitrates. I could never keep mine 20 or below!
  22. I moved your request to here, rather than to trade and exchange, so the killiphiles will see it. Some members here belong to the killifish association and may be able to help.
