It is a good thing :lol:

Well done phillz!!! Once your club is up and running, the next step is to affiliate to the FNZAS .

I think you can buy longer hoses, or extensions. The shorter the hoses the better though.

Only if she is a member of the FNZAS Kim.

Nice to see clean tanks . Good plant growth in the top pic too. Thanks for showing us.

They only x-ray international luggage, not national

Are you sure he has had others or perhaps that was the first? There will soon be more, don't worry.

Hi Rona (excuse me while I hijack this thread a minute spooky). I see you are from Blenheim. Our next meeting is Tuesday 16th, 7.30pm, 8 Purkiss St. You would be most welcome to come along. We will be looking at Murray's 6ft Malawi tank and having a visit from the FNZAS president. Spooky - any chance of running an extension cord from the neighbours?

I certainly have - axolotls too (except I had them in an ice cream container)

I thought goldfish laid eggs on the underside of floating leaves. Do they scatter them on pots as well? Just curious

No problem carrying them in their plastic bag inside a small hot/cold type carrier bag as hand luggage.

Umm, it's a big black dot. Looks like colouration to me, nothing wrong.

Umm, I thought you knew! :lol:

Warren Stilwell, FNZAS president, will be visiting the following clubs on these dates. All FNZAS club members are urged to attend and any other people interested are most welcome, we would love to see you; Marlborough Aquarium Club Meeting Tuesday 16th November 7.30pm 8 Purkiss St. Blenheim Canterbury Aquarium & Watrgarden Society (Inc) Meeting Wednesday 17th November 7.30pm 1 Jarrow Place, Halswell Christchurch Dunedin Aquarium & Pond Society Meeting Thursday 18th November 7.00pm The Pet Warehouse (cnr Strafford & Manse Sts) Dunedin I have invited myself along too (someone has to navigate) so look forward to meeting many of you. Any questions? Feel free to ask.

Hope you can make the next Dunedin meeting as I will be there too! :lol: I am visiting, along with the FNZAS president Warren Stilwell. Their meeting date has changed this month to Thursday Novmeber 18.

One of our members got a Jebo for their 7ft tank and love it. Says it goes much better than the 404 they had before.

If you start separating them you will quickly be overrun with baby guppies! The males will chase anything - pregnant or not. The female may take a day or 2 to drop all the fry and will immediately be pregnant again. I would be happy too if I wasn't being bugged by males all the time :lol:

Why not just set up the existing tank elsewhere? Saves hauling out the other tank. The plants will be fine for a few days without added light or heat since it will be January. I assume it gets reasonably warm then even in Dunedin The fish don't care about light so it will not affect them at all. Do you belong to the Dunedin Aquarium Society? I am sure they could help you - even if you decide to dismantle the tank and farm out the fish temporarily.

You clean a canister filter when you see the flow has reduced a lot. I have never had to replace a sponge yet.

With the L shape I would have a 404 at either end.

egg yolk is fine phillz but be careful not to over-use it as it pollutes the tank very quickly. Fine flake is ok too. If they are happy in the moss then leave them there. That is what it is for.

It does not necessarily belong in the livebearer forum as he was asking a breeding question. I don't keep fry in the traps either. In fact I never use them at all except to separate an injured fish to stop it being attacked.

Probably guppies. WCMM fry are very very small.

The adult size of the fish makes a difference too. One large oscar will poo more than the equivalnt length of guppies

Don't forget to tell them you belong to our club too so will already be capitated to the FNZAS. We have a cheque ready to go I think.
