    betta eggs

    Hey What colour are fertile betta eggs supost to be, I just spawned my bettas today and the eggs are white. Is this normal? I have now removed the female before she got killed. thanks
  5. Has anyone done this? I saw an artical about doing it with vinegar, bleach and a few other products. What do you think?
  6. Anyone know of a good supplier in NZ?
  7. Yup can do I have a digital camera so there should be no problem. if some of the fry survive i would be willing to ship you some.
  8. Just hatching some BBS now. Any idea when their yok sacs will be absorbed, in one of my books it says 7 days, is this right? I think I can clearly see their yok sacs, kinda looks like a small orange/brown lump. I also saw a few of the fry swimming around, well trying to swim around. just hoping that the male wont mistake them for food.
  9. I just went to feed my badis badis male a worm tonight and i flipped his pot so that he would come out and there are about 100 fry in there. I have removed the female. What can i feed the fry other than BBS as i quickly need an air stone. It says that I wont have to feed them until a couple of days is this right? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
  10. I didnt even know there were green fighters.

    What killifish

    What species of killifish are allowed into New Zealand. I am asking this because I have seen a few species around that are not on the "allowed list into NZ" such as Austrolebias , Fundulopanchax, Jordanella, Nematolebias and Simpsonichthys. Those are all from the NZKA website and are not on the allowed list.

    vinagar eels

    The problem would be getting them into the country, MAF is very strict here in NZ
  15. Hey Can some killifish expert tell me what all the abbreviations killish have mean? eg ETB 96-27 (F1), (F0) ,DNA-01 ,GBN and all the others are. I want to get into killiefish more and would like to understand what these mean.

    Brown algae

    This stuff is really ugly and is starting to annoy me, its in my spray bar and external power filter pipes. I used to just be able to wash it out with a hose but i think it has now evolved and adapted. anyone got any ideas?
  18. Hey Im sick of have dirty gravel in my 288 litre tank and am looking at getting a under gravel filter. Does anyone know how to make one to custom measurements as I have seen UGFs in shops but they around $40 and wont fill the whole bottom of my tank. Also would you recomment using air pumps or power heads to lift the water? thanks
  19. Hey Iv recently bought a few via aqua (aqua one) and within a few days of them being in a fish tank, the plastic bit at the top and the suction cups have fungus all over them. (well it appears to be fungus). what can I do about this. thanks
