Your not related to those swedish backpackers that came over here and poached some wood pigeons and put the video on youtube are you?

That's what they want you to think....

Also have had a wallaby pie when I was in Waimate years ago, that was pretty good.

Get the electric blues, I heard balloons are even harder to keep alive than blues.

Sorry but I have to, your brother and sister mated? :facepalm: Might explain the reason for them being hellspawn :slfg:

I forgot duck, yeah don't mind abit of duck a l'orange occasionally. Had whitebait for tea aswell, yummy!

Mine's pretty self explanatory I would think 8)

Can't go wrong with a bit of venison or some wild pork.

Yeah, I think it is C.Helferi.

Gorgeous rams guys, makes me so jealous. All we can get down here at the moment is some small pearl spotted rams, they look real cool but are already probably dying from being kept in the tank they are in.

Cool, keep me posted.

Yip, that's the easiest way just make sure the pot with the eggs on it is not out of the water too long. Some people even hatch the eggs in large jars left floating in the main tank with an airstone in it.

A few drops of methylene blue is recommended but I never did as the tank I bred them in was fully cycled for a long time. Also be careful using it as it will stain your silicon.

Make sure whatever they decide to lay on has a lot of flow going over it, like put an airstone so that the rising bubbles travel over the surface of the eggs. Once they start free swimming feed them some of that liquid fry food that Diacks sell or get some baby brine shrimp or microworms. Water changes everyday, I done about 25% without any problems. Though that same pair had no problems raising the fry until they were free swimming then I removed them as there was too many fry and made it easier doing frequent water changes.

Remove all their other tankmates, they won't raise the fry with any other fish in the tank. That's what happened to me when I kept them in my old community tank. Also if that doesn't work just wait till they lay and fertilize the next time and then remove them straight away before they have a chance to eat the eggs.

Hello Katie, glad to see you joined. How's the new baby going, loving the late nights and early mornings?

Was looking at some named P.Vittata today at the local nursery, definitely not them they were P.Maccus. $65 each, pretty high for a clown but still not a bad looking pleco. They also had a small royal for $150 damn I was tempted but don't have the room. I've got a couple L002 that I might be willing to part with Dennis if your interested?

I've seen a few around. Not common though.

If you listen to the petstore staff you should be fine with a common sailfin, when I 1st setup a small 21ltr tank they sold me one and said it would be fine, that because the tank was small the pleco would stay small. Some people eh...

:slfg: Jim, that you do. Broad being the key word

I would use it in a eheim 2213 solely setup with mechanical media, how much do you think it would cost for enough to fill the filter basket?

Can this stuff be used in canister filters?

Maybe your mum has a dodgy history you don't know about, the 70's and 80's were a fun time I am told :slfg:

Damn, I knew it was a problem in Auckland but surely your mum wouldn't jump to that conclusion, (unless you have a dodgy history we don't know about) :slfg:
