Thanks

[FIGURE 8 PUFFER!!]

Matt I got them from my work I had to specially ask for them to try to be ordered in

[FIGURE 8 PUFFER!!]

I had him in freshwater for about 2 weeks and then he got whitespot which was a pain because it is very hard to treat puffers so instead I decided to slowly over 2 weeks bring his salinity up and have now had him at 1.010SG ever since and he absolutely thrives in it, has grown about half his original size again.

Mine absolutely loves freshwater shrimp he actively hunts them and normally devours 2-3 in about 10 minutes depending how smartly they hide.

I do think they do better in a brackish environment but also think they will live quite happily and healthy in a freshwater tank

It beats watching the Block.

Hahaha too True!! :gpo2:

[Raising ph levels]

Also it is hard to judge pH best bet is to measure it the same time 3 days in a row and that will give you the average pH

Not to thread steal but also going to be doing the trip from wellington to auckland that weekend and also will have room on the way back.

[Is there a New Zealand Reptile Rescue?]

Yes Likoma very much so. Its amazing how many people come in asking for turtles and then are turned off when I explain all the work that is required, which in itself isnt a bad thing

[Is there a New Zealand Reptile Rescue?]

Na I don't need rescuing. Love mine too much for that.

But we all know what happens with animals, they get bought for kids and then the kid gets sick of them and the parents dont want to look after them.

Would be cool to maybe have something in place for such situations. Just wondering if one is already in place or not

(More than willing for it to be at my house haha)

[Is there a New Zealand Reptile Rescue?]

Just been wondering, they have a rescue for every other animal but is there actually a Retile Rescue that people can surrender their reptiles to rather than euthanasia or letting go?

I have some at work Mystic.

I work at the pet centre in porirua but our lower hutt shop will most likely have some to

As long as you have given it a really good rinse, and its a big enough tank don't panic toooooo much if there is still some smell of the bleach as it wont be toxic in a large volume tank.

[Alright for Rainbows?]

I have 3 of each the boes, yellows, blues and featherfins in a 200L at the moment and they are fine. Loving swimming with my bolivian rams and dwarf honey gourami.

Also my Zebra Spiney eel hasnt taken to any of them. But he is only there temporarily

Hope that helps

[Alright for Rainbows?]

You would be fine adding 6 to that size tank. They shouldn't bother the Harlequins but every fish has a different personality so no guarantees

[Bread attacks - Help needed]

Interesting. How do you know this?

Thanks for your input

I know beacuse I have done it on several occasions due to BBA. You dont soak it for long just 5 minutes will suffice

[Bread attacks - Help needed]

If it is a one off application it wont damage the colour

[Pics of my 2000L tank]

Hey David

Good looking tank man.

If you are after those Pink Tail Chalceus go talk to your lfs and tell them to order you some from Aquarius importers. They have had them on their list for about a month and a half.

Keep up with the pics

[Blue Tounge Diet]

Hey

So I do have Blue tounges at home so I do know what I should feed them. This is rather about a breeder I have just talked to who has sold a customer of mine a 2 week old Bluey and has told him to feed a combination of Cat Jelly Meat, cooked mince and frozen red meat. This is a apparent "serious breeder." Also she has only told them to have a ceramic heat lamp in the tank, not to worry about a bulb that has UVA and UVB in and over ruled me when I suggested it.

What the heck?!
