:lol: More denail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jude

Hiya Gareth Good to see yet another wellingtonian on the forum. Cheers Jude

But Wok, Mystic is still young and she has the same problem. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

what ate them? should they be in a tank on their own until they get bigger? sounds like expensive fish food to me :lol: Cheers Jude

Klayman I am speechless. Boy you and your family are talented. I loved the tank designs and the aquascaping but these creations are just incredible. I want some of that talent ......... :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude

I know, thats why I haven't tried yet. This is the heavily planted L shaped tank - I can't even reach into the back corner and I don't want to destroy the tank. Don't be surprised if it finally dies of old age, still in the same tank :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, I'm not certain at all, thats why I was a bit worried. However they seem quite happy again today so whatever it was, mating or fighting, they seem to have gotten over it :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm thinking I should have taken the opportunity to catch the yoyo while his mind was on other things - I want him in a different tank Cheers Jude

My YoYo and Queen loaches were seriously trying to breed last night. They both changed colour completely and 'indulged' in mating behaviour for at least half an hour until I turned out the lights. I was concerned that one might hurt the other because I know nothing about their mating habits - and also because they are different species which I guess makes breeding highly unlikely. I turned the lights on again later to check they were OK and they were both back to normal colour and swimming around fine. Do different loaches like this every interbreed? Do botia loaches breed in captivity? Just wondering Cheers Jude

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi, my name is Jude and I am NOT suffering from MTS. I DON'T have too many tanks and I am NOT seriously considering another one. :lol: :lol: :lol: Jude (with fingers crossed behind her back again)

LOL to Ira and Misnoma - now all I need is Wok suggesting (again) that I turn the whole room into a tank. And what about the next leak? and the next? The whole roof needs redoing. Cheers Jude

But, but, but, but ............................. Caryl you are the one who just finished telling me I should use my money to get the roof fixed before I buy new tanks!!!!!!!!!!!! One rule for me and one for others huh? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Jude

but its a very big house Caryl and windows can have the curtains permanently drawn ................ no Adele, it wasn't me who said that - honest Jude crosses fingers behind her back

Welcome Jzer - how convenient having a fishclub so close - lucky you Hope you enjoy the site, I've had heaps of help here Cheers Jude

I visited Billaney and Adele last night and was just blown away. He has soooo many tanks, all sparkling clean and full of fish and babies. The tanks with adult fish are all beautifully decorated and very attractive. The tanks have spread all over the house now - upstairs, downstairs, and the garage. Just when we thought we had seen all of them we were invited into his daughter's room to see her tank - another lovely tank full of gorgeous angelfish. She denies having caught the bug but she's already bred some bristlenoses!!!!!!!!!!! Adele's cichlid tank is stunning, its nearly fully cycled and she has some beautiful fish just waiting to go in there. Its in a great spot, with a comfy armchair nearby so she can relax and watch the fish. I can't wait to see it once its been established for a while. Thanks for letting us see them Billaney, it was a real treat Cheers Jude

I agree, its an amazing offer and the generosity is heartwarming. Congrats to the person who was so generous and to Mitch for sharing it with us Cheers Jude

Welcome, and I agree about the Kapi Mana club. Its helped me heaps to belong to that and this forum. Cheers Jude

Hi Jane I am happy to keep sending you the minutes - unfortunately I couldn't be at the last meeting so unless someone else took them, there are no minutes. I know Steve and Jody are investigating other sites and are working hard on it so I am sure they will have something up and running soon. In the meantime, please stay on. As Shae said, the meetings can be held in the same place as the FNZAS chatroom Cheers Jude

Its amazing klay, all those beautiful tanks. Gives me something to work towards Cheers Jude

I will babysit fish to help you and Kim if you move over here but I already know I don't like guppies much. Perhaps I am just not maternal enough :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude

Oh No. Too late Blue. I got the harlequin rasboras today - but I've always liked them so I'm content with the choice. Thanks for the offer though Cheers Jude

LOL Wok and thanks Pearly, I don't like keeping fast active fish in little tanks tho and thanks Loopy - Harlequin Rasboros it will be - I've always liked them, they're a pretty fish Cheers Jude

Klayman should change his nick to Tank Artist - that is really amazing Cheers Jude PS. Liked the skeleton too

Thats fine Mystic - just take Stu's advice into account. And when you've identified yours, if anyone else needs it you could pass it on. Cheers Jude

I've got a copy of Dr Axelrods Mini Atlas of Freshwater Aquarium Fishes 1987. ISBN 0-86622-385-1 I guess its a bit old but if anyone in the Wellington area wants to borrow it for this survey they are very welcome. Cheers Jude PS. I borrowed it off my ex so I will need it back .............LOL
