They are eating Repashy now.

My mollies from the molly hunt have bred, only 3 fry at the moment, I suspect some were eaten.

I will try to get a better picture

Would you ship and if so how much?

Thanks

[Ceramic noodles new, free, PU Aucks]

Would you sell smaller amounts?

[Show us your native tank]

Very nice, that's a big colour difference in triple fins! 

[Show us your native tank]

Cool, I have become obsessed with redfin bullies , maybe one day I'll fill my tropical tank up with natives

[Show us your native tank]

Anyone still keep natives?

My Giant Kokopu is doing very well on Repashy.

 

Edit: Fixed Picture

[kokopu]

I have a single Giant Kokopu, my tank is 90 x 45 x 39 cm. This is probably on the small side, I would recommend at least a four foot tank.

Equipment wise you will need a filter (obviously) and a chiller. Chillers can be quite pricey but are a must for keeping your tank under 20 degrees in the summertime.

As for acquiring a Kokopu you can either catch one (Be careful to take young individuals from healthy populations) or talk to David Cooper at Mahurangi Technical Institute to buy one, this is how I got mine

This just happened to me.

[DIY Betta Trio Filtration]

I replaced the Aqua One trio filter with a sponge filter

Hows it going now?

[My tanks 9/6/16]

Sorry about the photos, it said they were too big so I made them smaller, it was probably a bit too small.

[My tanks 9/6/16]

Here's a little update of my three tropical tanks.

Tank one (350 litre)

Not much has changed. I would like to put sand in sometime soon

Tank two (54 litre)

This tank has nine mollys from last years molly hunt

Tank three (60 litre)

I only recently set this up, it's stocked with barbs and tetras

 

 

 

 

[Koura Tank]

There is a Native Fish Database, with information on koura aswell.

EDIT, I see Shilo has already posted it.

This one was abit dull for me, it may suit your needs.

 If you like it PM me.

Thanks, I might use Seachem Flourish or Nutrafin Plant Gro (Whichever is best to use)  as a liquid and JBL The 7 Balls as tablets

[The What's Up? thread.]

In the weekend I moved all my tanks around and put fish into different tanks

 

[Science Fair Project]

Thanks for the ideas, I have started getting supplies. 

Caryl, are there any brands of fertiliser you would recommend?

Thanks

[My new native tank]

Thanks,  koura it is!

[My new native tank]

Um, I'm not really a fan of goldfish. How big of a tank would I need for a banded? (If they're compatible)

[My new native tank]

He has only been kept with bullies (failed after a few minutes). The Palmerston pet store sells Inanga and they didn't recommend it.

[My new native tank]

I would like to add some tankmates. Anything that could live with a large, agro kokopu? 

[My new native tank]

He's probably eating more than enough now! The old tank will sit around for another time.
