well... http://www.nzherald.co.nz/news-cartoons/news/article.cfm?c_id=500814&objectid=10836261

it did just disgust me what I saw yesterday on ONE, there was even a swiss idiot involved (beside all the german germs) in the poaching and smuggling. up to NZ $10'000 for a Jewelled Gecko on the european market. :an!gry beside increasing the fines and jail time for a poacher it should be possible for the people of NZ to have the right to go and slap those poachers into the face twice in public. public humiliation would help to keep those poachers away...

can a thai tie a tie ?

I defenitely didn't think that one thru (I should go into politics). it just frustrates me every time I have to pay dog registration fee for my two dogs and asking myself for what I have to pay it. do I really have to pay it to cover the damage occured by the early settler mongrels running loose everywhere ?

that is even better than a cat registration fee, and we should have it for possums as well (and rats and mice), would be cheaper than 1080 and a little incentive for all the people with lots of 'self-inflicted' spare time (hmmm, start a rat and mice breeding program and sell the tails to the government ey ?) mates of mine, every time they are out in the bush hunting shoot cats if they come across one.

too many suporter and cat lover out there... :an!gry ...bring on the CAT REGISTRATION FEE :thup:

there is a great website which shows you where you have legally access (public roads, paper roads, crown land, DoC land etc.) http://www.walkingaccess.govt.nz/WalkingAccessMapping for everything else, if you ask the land owner for permission there's no trespassing

really... ?

Matt I've sent you a PM

you're right, sorry, maybe I should have mentioned Whistler and Bell Frog tadpoles as well beside the golden and albinos in my first post so I wouldn't confuse anyone...

sarcasm ? :happy1: - actually I wrote that after a discussion here about 'Litoria caerulea' :happy2: (as I haven't found any yet)

Hi jippy, not sure about the company thing because I never have had only one but if you have more than one they should all have a similar size. if you put a young one (up to 10cm) together with adult ones in no time the juvenile will be gone. ground with fine, roundish sand (not sharp sand) or pebbles big enough so the Axos can't swallow them. they suck their food in and if the pebbles are too small they suck them in as well which can block their digestive system and they will slowly die. to have only a blank glass bottom is not recommended as it will build a layer of algae on the glass which can harm the Axos. lots of hiding places (clay tubes or half clay plant pots, nothing they can move and get squeezed under it). sturdy plants which they use to rest in when they swimm around and use to spawn. filter which create no or as low current as possible. I use external bucket filter and the return pipe is along the back of the whole tank lenght with little holes. no bright tank illumination, they don't like it bright, they prefer it dusk or dawn (no direct sun light to the tank). cold water between 14 and 18 degrees C. hard water, if you use rain water put some coral sand in. absolute no chemicals as in water enhancer or clearer. no mammal meet (no ox heart and such as often recommended on TradeMe) they will not digest it properly and it will start to rot in their intestines. chicken heart if nothing else is available but not more than once a week, best is all sorts of wurms out of the garden (if possible not from the compost or wurm farm unless you feed the wurms only with grass and other natural stuff but not coffee and all the other stuff people put into a wurm farm), grass grubs, crickets, maggots, little fish (guppies), shrimps, boiled fish pieces, flies, mayflies, stoneflies and all sorts of nymphs. the more variety the better. I fill my tanks always to 3/4 hight so they have enough to swimm but not enough to jump out. even if they look lazy and slow if they are in to it they will be very, very fast.

mmhhhhh, Pike...

Sophia, in Europe we have (had) several species which would only return and spawn where they were spawned. if the pond was removed and replaced by a shopping mall or an other speculative object whole populations where killed in a couple of years.

here's a thought, you could probably ask every young kid in a rural area (or a teacher in a rural school) and they can tell you I just can't understand, sorry my ignorance but if you are interested in keeping tadpoles shouldn't you get informed on how to keep them in the first place which involves to go out and explore their natural habitat and you will find them there ? maybe I am just too old school... :tears:

what do I miss here ? http://www.trademe.co.nz/pets-animals/r ... 716601.htm are people nowadays really that lazy that they wont go out into the free and get their own tadpoles ? I could understand it for gold or albinos but for the normal, common frogs out there ? sorry, I don't get it... :tears:
