I have found some secondary fungal infections, when gently rubbed, fall off and you find a nicely healed scar, or new scale, underneath with no treatment necessary.

Does anyone know chevyhot off trade me?

Does he have anything else for sale at the moment? You could ask on one of his other auctions if so. -
When I wrote off our 4WD in a stream up the Molesworth, a local DOC worker drove past and said he would fine me for improper use of a waterway :lol: (He was known to me and he was only joking) :slfg: I bet there are a number of people who would claim Stella was often a small pain in the neck We have so many more people now interested in native fish and it is all totally thanks to Stella with her knowledge and enthusiasm

I have not kept oscars but I wonder about a small wound under a scale and it has grown a secondary fungal infection.

We have thought of going with spray bottles of similar (or even just water and saying it was anti-bacterial stuff) and giving them a squirt but they are the type who would then sue us for assault :roll: Grant has just won an Acer Ultrabook S3 with i5 processor and solid state drive (whatever that means) I gather they retail around $2,000 :happy2:

Bent which direction? Could be genetic, injury, malnutrition, bacterial infection, internal swelling, infection or egg bound.

I don't like peanuts but I love Whittaker's peanut slabs. If you want a really good treat - Makana's Macadamia Bark is devine! https://secure.makana.co.nz/confections.aspx/NaturallyNutty/MacadamiaBark Hmm, I think a trip to the chocolate factory is in order now :gigl:

I keep entering the competitions on their website. :love:

Every thing you need to know is on their website http://www.nzblood.co.nz/ It is quick and easy and everyone is very nice to you and thank you a lot for donating. I am a blood donor but have had to stand down for 6 months after my surgery. You can sit or lie down, whichever is most comfortable for you. They give you nice drinks and biscuits afterwards. :love:

That right hand end reminds me of triffids

It isn't a torpedo barb as their red stripe is down the middle. People like sunken ships and planes but you want wood - how about an ark?

Blanket weed seems to come and go in my pond throughout the seasons. I don't think plants can ever out-compete it. As to the spindly oxygen weed, a bit of soil might help. Mine are planted in big planter containers with slits on all sides and the bottom. I am probably going to have to remove some soon as it has taken over the pond!

There is at least one more certificate coming. How about more entries before anyone says which they prefer?
-
We have a couple of entries...

So did Lily the Pink. I wonder if she could cure blanket weed? 8)

1 week until we leave for Africa and Europe updated 12 April
Caryl replied to Adrienne's topic in The Off Topic Fishroom
I should hope so! We were horrified to discover rickets was so common in Auckland as we thought it was a third world disease. As Auckland is not that lacking in sunshine, and maori and Pacific Islanders are not known for keeping children out of the sun, why were so many suffering from rickets? Do they have higher breast feeding rates? From memory, it was the rickets that caused the heart problems in these children. -

Caryl replied to Adrienne's topic in The Off Topic Fishroom
When our son was in Greenlane for heart surgery, 30 years ago, there were a number of other children with heart problems who also had rickets. We were told rickets was a common problem among the maori and Pacific Island population, due to poor diet. -
Here is an interesting fact sheet on how much barley straw to use, and when it is most efficacious. http://ohioline.osu.edu/a-fact/0012.html
