Aquaone does a nice clear silicone pipe,

as title states, having trouble cleaning the clear plastic covers on the Aqua one lighthoods, they are slightly cacified and whitish. tried meths, makes them look streaky. should I just remove them as its beginning to affect the growth of the plants

hrmmm that sounds like something my missus would say

btw SHE they are inteesting as they change their sex as they get bigger, its not dependant on age as much as size

are they skinny looking??? (have a look just behind the head, if it looks sunken they may b=have a parasitic infection)

if anything it is higher risk for the small consumer as with the large importer there is the paper trail to find where it all went and lets be honest im sure a few people are using this loop hole (probably not on NLS) for profit, I know I can easily purchase cosmetics for less than $1 per item with $0.05 per item shipping, if I purchase $399 worth of it, I don't have to worry about duty, taxes etc.... (BTW will be some nice cosmetics available for cheap at Tauranga markets this year :slfg: )

who cares, still pretty.

unfortunately being a source of govt revenue I don't think this will change soon, the recent publicity regarding the biosecurity of nz will more likely increase the amount things will cost. IMO it should be more expensive for a small amount coming over the border than a larger amount.

you should study my missus, here way of speaking depends full on what time of day it is, in the morning "mrmrmmmummmrm" middle of the day "can I have your credit card", night time "have you cleaned the bathroom, stop playing with those fish, did you drink my vodka. seriously leave the fish alone, your tanks waste power"(that was one sentence last night....)

I hope you released the berried girls, they won't breed in your tank and IME they die a lot easier as for the blue one, I hve found one that was a dark green before, not translucent either, but they tend to ID shrimp species by their rostrum (the spikey thing between their eyes) and their tails. good on you for getting out there in this weather :yaw2:

or this, damn I can't tell if its real or photoshopped anymore....

and if you work for an immigrant

seriously,

Bay

what we're supposed to get paid NZ rates???

oh yeah, Mini Lop X Mini Rex, hopefully the lil brown girl gets one droopy ear, it seems a bit looser on one side

ooooooooooooooooh...... and I thought you were an Aussie spy

a class full of talkative sociopaths??

I always thought they send in an independent photographer for the final entry pics

Plus NZ peat is among the best in the world for this.

not a very big stew and I get paid in bunny huggles, its sooo worth it (until I need to pay rent and buy food)

Depressed kitten is even better

interesting and cute when you google depressed puppy

Aulanocara "pretty lil mutts"

hrmmm did not know that one.... wonder how many more are floating around I have heard there is a range of native crypts as well
