Thanks for the reply i have found a guy that imports fish so have a copper band on its way. I did try email HFF but havnt had a reply yet but thanks for your help anyway

Or does anyone no where i can buy a copper band from?

Hello im after either a copper band or mandarin i would prefer a small copper band but i no its not very likely to happen so would settle for a mandarin. I can pick up from chch to Dunedin if anyone has any out of this area i would need it to be freighted. I would like to see a pic before buying as well. Cheers Chris

IIll just leave this here... i miss my group aswell i sold them all about a year ago. I brought 8 recently and im already down to 6 lost my biggest one last nyt was 81/2 inches and it was my fault i feed my silver aro some salmon in the morning and didnt watch him eat it which he didnt do and it stunk up the tank luckily only lost the one. +1 for loaches

I thought i had already posted this but dont no where it went so here it is again. I am after some silver dollars to join my 5 that are getting a bit of beating from my aro, i am going to try spread the agro if it fails i will have sum silver dollars to sell they will need to be at least 10cm and the more the merrier pm me please cheers chris

Hi im after a silver arowana must be bigger than 30cm as will be going in with my jardini which is already at 20cm. I can pick up from chch or dunis please pm me with a price. Cheers Chris

Loaches are in and settling they are much bigger than i was expecting so they dont fit in the pipes i cut up for them but in saying that they dont seem to mind because they just sit looking out the front of the tank all day. My bloody Pacus ate through my heater cables so i got a good kick of that last nyt!!! new heater is on its way there is a 150w trying to heat 1200L at the mo. Only going to run one jager 300w see haw that goes. so when they eat through a power cord does all the fish get a kick because electricity takes the easy path would they not get anything? My house has rcds and they didnt kick out either

Thanks Livingart, The clowns should be all good ill chuck some pipes in there for them to hide in and the jar is only about 15cm which is about the same size as the loaches. I'm more worried about the clown knife which is around 40cm.

Hello all i am about to purchase 8 clown loaches!!! as sum of you might know i had 45 large clowns that i stupidly sold last year. Iv been looking at old videos of my old setup on you tube and couldn't resist when i saw sum come up on trade me. I have had there tank running with 3 Pucu a Jardini sum silver dollars and a clown knife fish in it and the lower level is looking empty so cant wait to get sum clowns in there again. Im going to run them a bit colder this time round at around 24 degrees(ran them at 30 last time) as i want to put them in my heated outdoor pond over summer hopefully they will grow fast with 15000l to play in. I will upload sum pics as soon as i can.

Hi did u get my pm?

The jar is 40cm so probable already at the agro stage. I was going to be putting him in the pond over summer but the turtles don't like to be as hot as the jar so will be in tank over summer aswell by itself.

Hi im thinking about buying a Jardini of tm but i no how agro they can be whats your thoughts? I have a 1200l with 3 small 15cm pacu, 1-25cm clown knife fish, 4-15cm silver dollars. All fish will be going back in my pond over summer which is 15000l so plenty of room with 6 big turtles.

have msged him thanks

Hi i have decided to keep my 1200L tank and am after a arowana any sorts are fine bigger the better, wanting to pay round $300 but let me no what you have and how much u r after. I can pick up from chch or dunis but wont be straight away like will be next time we are heading there usually about once a month. pm me Cheers Chris

I think I can manage that I will try wire myself and get it checked before I switch it on thanks for the help

Hi I am looking at a solar panel for my pond I want to control the temp to 25 degrees I need a controller that will switch my pond pump on and off as needed automatically do we have anything like that avaliable in nz? Thanks Chris

There are sum pics in the cold water section before the upgrade under my turtle/fish pond the upgrades are half done now so will get sum pics when finished. I do have an empty 1200l tank spare at the moment but am wanting to build a plywood tank at sum stage for the winter

I will bring them inside over winter but in saying that solar would be cool to do I will keep an eye on trade me for a panel. As for herons etc the pond is 1m deep with vertical edges and fences nearly all around the only predators would be cats which don't get my goldfish so don't think will be a problem and once pucu get bigger I think the cats will have to watch the pucu haha

3 red belly pacu are happy as in the pond very hard to see them because they are so small but I think that will change prity quickly

Thanks for the replys the pond is at 25 at 8 in the morning when I go to work it has 3 300w heaters which I think are just maintaining the temp over night the pond size is 4.5m by 3m by 1m.Thanks alexyay they said they are red bellyed I will get some ordered

Hi I am looking at buying sum pacu for my pond from wonderworld rotorua but don't want to end up with silver dollars or something like that, has anyone brought from them? and do they no way they are selling? It is easy to mix them up when small and i haven't seen pics any help would be good thanks

Hi i am after a couple of Pacu for my outdoor pond (over summer) water temp is around 25 and they will go in large tank over winter. I can pick up from Christchurch or Dunedin Thanks Chris

Thanks Caryl. I am hoping the turtles are happy i haven't seen them since summer (hibernating) the pond had a big change around to accommodate the turtles so they have somewhere to sunbathe etc now.

Found this one still looks different to now tho https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... 8029aabde1
