Heh, realise that... but not many people I know have arms long enough to reach anywhere near the bottom of that tank... would have to have some long tools Spose you could always just jump in if you were small enough

A lot of little cockroaches running around at the moment as well, they will gobble them up. Could always leave an outside light on and capture some moths and stuff that come calling as well.

Imagine trying to maintain the tank... tis rather deep at either end :slfg:

Well... the situation has changed. :digH: R.I.P Billy T Cray. :tears: Little fella passed away on Sunday. I went in to do his bi weekly water change and found him upside down, thought he might have been moulting, but sadly no. He never really got over having his arm munched off and hadn't been the same since. He has been buried in the garden along with a big dead weta that my daughter bought in... natives lying in rest together. Guess the worms can have their revenge on the Cray now :gigl: Hone Te Koura had another moult over the weekend so is going from strength to strength, he got really agressive soon after moulting and has been charging my 2 year old daughter when she looks through the glass... she thinks it is hilarious when he comes running at her, so she is spending a lot of time staring into the tank which is great. I'll update my tank log eventually so you can see the changes to the environs.

Feel Inside - Flight of the Conchords. The song they did for cure kids... Awesome.

There is life on Mars!

Five tanks in four months? Wow, you had better go see someone about that multi tank syndrome you've got :rotf: Welcome to the forums.

:rotf: :rotf: Nice one! Are you actually banned from pak n save cos you gave a stupid question the answer it deserved?

It is 2012... apparently the world is meant to end sometime soon :rotf:

So, I have two Koura... and a few months back the bigger one had a crack at the smaller one when he moulted and ripped off a chelae etc, so I have had them seperated since then. Hone has been cruising around in the big tank land scaping daily and generally being a show pony for visitors etc... Billy has been in a small tank kept in a quiet place to recover... the missing Chelae hasn't really started growing back as yet, there is a small stump, yet he has had a moult since getting attacked. How long does it take them to re-grow, or is it dependant on many different factors? Here is the interesting part. I decided I'd try put them back together in the 180l tank. I rescaped it a bit and added more rocks etc to have more hiding places (I'll get some photos and update the tank log thread this weekend). Then I put Billy in... I sat there and watched closely as to what would happen. Hone was cruising around and then he pretty much bumped into Billy... that's when the fun started. Hone kept slowly encroaching on Billy who was trying to push Hone away with his one Chelae, Hone was pretty much pushing him back and it looked like he was trying to overpower/smother Billy... it was like an odd tentative dance, then Hone got a bit more aggressive and started to envelope the smaller Koura... that's when I dipped the net in and hauled Billy away. Now I'm not sure if The bigger Koura was going to eat the smaller one then and there... I've seen how they lunge to eat something many times, and this was different... so was it a dominance/territorial thing? Were they trying to get to know each other? Or Was The big guy about to have a nice feed of crayfish and was being more cautious because the little guy was putting up some fight? They are seperated again... and now I'm wondering what to do with the situation :dunno: Thoughts welcome :thup:

Don't give her ideas :rotf: Looking forward to book number two Stella!

Perhaps it is the curry from last night that is making you feel bleh in the first place Mind you... when I start getting the sniffles, I make myself a good hot vindaloo... blast the germs away... works well! :rotf:

Welcome to the forums. Multiple Tank Syndrome hit you early on huh :rotf:

What an awesome build thread Very nice work... bet you spend some hours in that shed... I know I would!

Get a Koura tank set up... they quite like chomping away on snails Apart from that I've seen people chuck veges into tanks, wait for snails to gather on them and then throw them out in one big hit

Awesome to see how he has progressed since you got him. :nfs: PS: He is a "giant" kokopu Zev... if donuts and beers is how he gets giant then so be it :rotf:

Love that photo Ira :nfs: Just chilling out on this roc..... wait a minute... its moving...

You checked your hot water cylinder? My power bill starting hiking up late last year... couldn't work out why... did some investigation and found the hot water cylinder had a neoprene valve fail (due to old age) and it was pouring hot water literally down the drain 24/7. Fixed it up and viola, my power bills are back under control.
