What sort of bulb were you using? They recommend changing fluorescents on tanks every 6 months but I never do as I can't afford to do so. I often use those short fluorescents that fit an ordinary socket. They work well. I always buy daylight or bright white tubes from a wholesaler so can't tell you whether pet shops are more expensive than lighting shops.

There are several different species of what are commonly called fritters, er whitebait. Our local ones stay small and grow about 8cm. Go visit underwater world at Hokitika to see some giant whitebait.

Lime will increase your pH. Our council adds it to the water supply as the acid water (was 6.8) was eating away the pipes. The supply at my house is now about 7.0 - just right for most but I want it higher for the Africans.

Organism have some beautiful fish in there and the cleanest tank (and shop) I have ever seen. I bought a carnivorous plant there, a cactus, and some aquatic plants. Couldn't get any fish as my new tank set-up has awfully high ammonia readings at the moment. Stopped at the Ure river on the way home and got some limestone to help the pH in the African tank I am setting up.

Do they sell the inanga for the same price as those in the supermarket?

Can't be. We all agreed. :lol:

The 2 filters (identical but different prices) were in Critter Kingdom, Blenheim Rd shop. It appears they are a lot cheaper in the North Island.

I've just had a new type of spill during a water change...

A little extra protein won't hurt. If the fish start coughing up fur balls though I suggest you dose them with a little cod liver oil :lol: -
Bruce had a couple of hundred ancistrus the weekend of the Napier show. Surely he has some left?

As long as you are moving to bigger and better with more room for tanks then it will be worth it

Beautiful CM. Thanks for sharing.

Goldie it is not survival of the fittest but survival of the fastest! Then again I guess you could say the fittest are the fastest :lol:

:oops: missed the fact you already had one. Should have read the list more carefully.

You're expecting wine AGAIN!!?? :lol:

You would be surprised how many fry survive in a large, very heavily planted community tank.

Looks like a change in plans again. We are going to Ashburton on Saturday night instead (are we catching up with you macka?) and visiting ChCh shops on the Sunday. I will have my cell phone with me so if you would like to catch up with us somewhere, ring or text me on 021 1586634 or Grant on 025 465137. I know Redwoods doesn't open until 11am but aren't sure which order we will be going around the shops though bear in mind we are coming in from the south.

Would you like to meet up with us? We are going down to Ashburton to spend the night at goldie's invitation then stopping into ChCh on the way back on Sunday. No I did not put any on hold. Am just hoping some are available next weekend. KEEP YOUR MITTS OFF 'EM!!!
