    Has anyone keeping a Flagtail fish with a indo datnoid?

    i added a 4 inch flagtail fish to my indo Datnoid (3inch) fish tank. it seems Datnoid is attacking to the flagtail?

    can both live together when they get bigger? or i have to remove the flagtail?

    Datnoid live with Clown loach no issues at all.

    I would say this would depend on the behaviors your fish show. 

  2. Tanks can be resealed ypu tube has some good videos alot of beginners wouldn't attempt it however. 

     

    Have a look at some videos and make a decision for yourself

  9. Kia ora, fish keeping whanau!
    Did you know that MPI are completing a review on the Biosecurity Act and that submissions close on the 29 November 2024??
     
    The FNZAS is potentially making a submission, and as fish keepers / aquatickeepers and hobbyists we think your voice should be heard.
     
    I have attached a link which takes you to their page, theres a lot of information to go through and unpack - you can make a submission yourself, but please note that submissions are Public information.
     
    If you wish to supply feedback to FNZAS to add into their submission you can, please email [email protected] or [email protected]
     
    Please note that submissions need to be relevant to what they are proposing so please please please read the information.
     
    The consultation package contains proposals that span across a range of areas in the biosecurity system. These proposals have been grouped into six topics:
    • System-wide issues;
    • Funding and compensation;
    • Border and imports;
    • Readiness and response;
    • Long-term management;
    • Legislative interfaces.
     
    Although we may not be individually affected by this - it will have impact on NZ fish and aquatic keeping and imports.
     
    Thanks FNZAS President - Maxine
     
    Here's a Blurb that MPI have on their website
    Background information on this consultation and the Act
    New Zealand’s biosecurity system helps protect our economy, environment, and people from unwanted pests and diseases.
    Our biosecurity system is underpinned by the Biosecurity Act 1993. The Act provides the main legal framework for MPI and other organisations to manage and respond to harmful pests and diseases. The Act provides MPI and other organisations the tools to manage biosecurity risk before it arrives on New Zealand’s shore, at the border, and within New Zealand.
    While the Act has served us well for the last 30 years, increasing pressures on the biosecurity system from trade, travel, online purchasing and climate change mean some changes are required to keep the system resilient and fit for the future. We have an opportunity now to strengthen the biosecurity system and make it efficient, cost-effective, and adaptable.
    Since 2019, we have talked with key stakeholders (including mana whenua, regional councils, Government Industry Agreement partners, and other government agencies) about potential updates to the Act and key policy issues.

    Hi

    im new to aquaponics but have everything prepared except pump.  I can get live white bait and look forward to being with the catcher.  If this forum is still running I would like to contribute and learn. Have learned already from comments thanks.  Stella I’m sure your book must be available now?  As I see 2007.  Pamela

    Hi Pamela Welcome, 

    as mentioned, the forum is a bit slow, but a few of us are still here - there is a native fishkeepers facebook page which Stella is active on. 

  11. I've never come across the colour change but if the lump was by a fin sometimes this happens due to water quality, I know you have said water is all okay but can you post the actual parameters as well please. Ammonia nitrite and nitrate.

  12. sometimes also the stem plants we buy are grown emersed and they sometimes melt back and come back with submerged growth - also if your running c02 or adding a nutrient to help with that it could be causing it to melt
