Looking to rehome 2 geophagus surinamensis, 2 Senegal bichirs and 1 spotted Raphael catfish.
Pick up Masterton or could possibly drop off in the area

I have contacts for breeders around New Zealand. If anyone wishes to make contact with a breeder or learn more about tortoise care in NZ please feel free to contact me.

You are talking to me on messenger already.

Hi There,
 
Looking to buy 2x Butterfly Pleco.

Location: Auckland

to note this is just an announcement and this appears to not be around aquatic plants, but is also a handy link to the IHS and the plants biosecurity Index

looking for a male for my female for breeding if anyone is selling one and would be willing to ship one please feel free to contact me

As per the title. Big tanks ready to be filled. Fully grown is ideal but on their way is fine too. Auckland based. 

Haven't had a good experience with Fishly.  Ordered 3 different plants from them on trademe, they sent 2 as 1 was out of stock, I said I would wait for the stock.  It had been like 2 months and still no plants arrived, so I emailed to ask for a refund.  I had to email them 3 times as they just wouldn't reply.  Then they said they had refunded me but I emailed them a printscan of my trademe account and it showed they had not refunded it back to trademe on the date they said.  So they ask for my bank account but there is still no refund 3 months later and they are not answering my emails now.  It is only $3.99, but its the principle.  Not going to buy from them again.

This seasons young Three-toed Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina triunguis) for rehoming.
Please message for details and rehoming fee.

Gonna raise whistling tree frog tadpoles! I think they're super cool. Sadly none for sale near me so I'm gonna get them shipped from Greymouth (to Northland). 
I've got an ecostyle 47, raised tadpoles before but they were green and golden bell frogs. Going to gradually introduce them to my pond when they start getting back legs.
Anyone got tips?

A good start carloctopus is here 
 

Yes they include bracing
 

i'd love to see more vids of them online 

Yes there are freshwater shrimp in NZ

Please do not put a goldfish in a bowl. One fish is too many and 3, no matter how small, would not last long. A goldfish needs at least 80L of water (pref 120L) plus good filtration and regular maintenance. The first thing your church children would get to discuss, if you put 3 goldfish in a bowl, is whether their goldfish went to heaven.
We, as an organisation, do not sell fish. Our members offer when they have some for sale.

Karl is in Australia now doing reptile relocations lol

Thanks for your help everyone.  I bought 4 harlequin rasbora last weekend, and so far they seem happy in their new home - especially at feeding time!
I used API Quick Start, and have been monitoring the water parameters, and finally detected some nitrite yesterday so it looks like things are starting to happen.

Good luck!
Tomorrow someone is coming to catch all my fish and dismantle my last aquarium. I will be fishless for the first time in 45 years. I am unable to do the maintenance myself and want them to go to somewhere they will be well looked after.

Next years fish show and expo will be taking place from the 25th to the 27th of April 2025.  For those businesses wanting to have a stall we are now taking entries.

The forum runs but with few people making use of it as they prefer instant answers from random unknowns on the internet! (old lady opinion 😉 )
Stella has 3 books published - Freshwater Fishes of NZ (available from Fishpond, Mighty Ape, The Nile NZ) and 2 versions of The NZ Native Freshwater Aquarium (Mighty Ape, Trade Me, The Nile NZ) and now lives in the South Island.

Thank you, that makes a lot more sense. My (in progress) tank is based on one ecosystem where a few compatible aquarium fish live, so it should be easy for me to start with a couple of easier species and then look into more difficult ones later down the track.

We now have a speaker for the afternoon.  To be announced in the next couple of weeks

Like livingart, I would say it is not worth much, if anything. It would probably be cheaper to replace than try and find parts or repair. I either have one myself, in my box of spare aquarium bits, or I biffed it long ago.
You should be able to test it yourself as there is little to go wrong in them. Either it goes well, goes but not well, or doesn't go at all. If it goes well, give it to someone starting out but warn them it may not last much longer. If it goes, but not well, it is likely to be stuffed diaphragms and you can tell by looking at them. They will have disintegrated or have holes in them, especially along the creases. If it doesn't go at all, biff it.
If they couldn't find the parts for them 13 years ago, you're not likely to do so now.
