well i do not mind opening up my place once or twice a month or whatever for everyone to meet at ....all those that are interested please send me a message and we will see where it goes ok?

i am up in bucklands beach and am interested in joining a club but not all that keen on going all the way kinto manakau we need one out this way

i live up in east auckland and i kno a great little place to catch them all you need is a nice largeish fish net, the type one would use in a large aquaruim and a fast hand, takes a while to get a few tho

Hey there i love the look of this tank and would really like to setup somthing very siliar my experiance with plants is limited tho fancy helping a guy out , lend me some of your experiance and advise me pls anything special that i would need and what fish in particular are a very bad idea in fully planted tanks suck as this??

i would make a special trip down there to say hi and have a look if the fish shop is open i rememebr going there once a while back and it was great, lol i finish work at 8:30 but hey i am still young who needs sleep

to much driving involved in going to a club coupled with the fact that i work evenings aint all that much of an option for me but i will be buyin the mag i will msg you caryl when i have paid into the bank account... man i wish there was a club out east auckland...hint hint

yeah i would not mind a few myself let me kno when

well i never measured them but they were damn big specially the females i sold some to my LFS and they were impressed with them

i ahve kept guppies in ponds all year round before and they have done fine ...in fact they seemed to grow damned well i suspect this is due to the ammount of live food they had access to they bred well and everything and there seemed to be no problems at all so i say go for it...from my experiance you will not be dissapointed

so any word on when you might be getting them?

i will take some definatly

they can look pretty different ranging from a nice palee blue to almost black with blue hues ...lol and donb't you dare take my pair lol btw what colour are they ..dark or light?

would love to give you a call at work but no clue as to your number lol

hey kim any chance of me pinching some of your gold black eye's there are some up here at jansens but they are pretty expensive...well for me at least i am on a budget and i am sure that private breeders are a little cheaper

i know i will prolly get told off for this but i while back i got sick of always playing with my water to keep it at what is concidered optimum quality so i started changing things, i did not do water changes as often and i slowly let the ph rise to a lvl that was concidered death for some of my tank inhabitants, to my suprise they did not seem to mind one little bit, the would breed and carry on as usual, mind this was done over a prolonged time frame so they could adjust ...in addition i cut right back on cleaning my filters and so on because in my opinion bacteria is awesome in your filters, i almost never touched the media for my marine tanks as well and when i did clean or change somthing it was only one thing at a time... After much playing arround i have come to believe that many water changes , filter cleaning and having a PH at one end of the sclae or the other does not have to make a difference at all, it appeared to me as tho it was the other factors that seemed most important. The only exeption to this i found was with corals, they do not tolerate a hell of alot in my opinion, but then again maybe it is just me. What i would do is just slowly adjust your fish to a higher and higher PH until the time that you do not need to add anything to your water

i catch them down here and guess what i never put them back...because they make excellent live food for my mates cichlids, just gotta rememeber to quarantine them for a while just in case, but hey free live food and a good show to boot
