oops thought it was gonna be a bit bigger than that. see how you go anyway. Try right clicking on the picture and saving to desktop and then opening it and zooming in to count all angels

Saturday 7 April at 5pm. 57A Hoon Hay Road Hillmorton Bring something for a barbecue tea. Might almost be our last barbecue for a while too! It is getting cooler and dark early now. And just for something interesting... See who can get the best guess! How many Angel babies can you count?

Hi there and welcome! Good to see so many Chch fish addicts! Next meeting of Christchurch Totally Tanked (our local club) will be Saturday 7 of April. Will hopefully be a great place to feed each others addictions! Keep an eye out in the FNZAS Clubs section for all the latest about the club. Enjoy it here!

hi there again I really think you should come along to a meeting. I LOVE genetics and printed off a bunch of stuff about betta genetics a while ago. I also have a book or 2 which could be usefull. I have lots of books and bits and pieces of information which i hope will prove useful to everyone in the club at some stage.

There are a few good betta sites. Try http://www.ultimatebettas.com/ Wife is at work playing catch up after the powder scare at NZ Post last night. (it was her area that had the package). Good to hear you having a go at breeding them. Our largest spawn of bettas was over 500 and we actually counted each one. We have a bit of info here which I will get Shaz to get out tomorrow and post web links before she goes to work. Hope this helps Mr Loopy

Hi and WELCOME! Everyone is welcome to Totally Tanked!! Would be great to see you.

Hi and WELCOME! I see everyone has bet me to it about the club! :lol: Our home has open doors on the first saturday of each month. Everyone is welcome! Would be great to see you.

meeting went much better this time! We had Fluffypants and carsnkats come along with partners and families. I hope everyone enjoyed meeting each other. I certainly did! Most of the chatter was just introductions and i think the line of the night was something like "we started into this hobby with a goldfish..." Looking forward to next month. Did you know there is a minimum of 35 Christchurch FNZAS forum members?

Sorry for the late reply. Sharon is working two jobs and she doesn't get time to update as much as she used to. Bring anything you fancy, we always have room for more fish If the liquid refreshment isn't really compatible with the fish we advise you BYO. Also please remember that this is the forming of a club. We need the numbers to regularly attend as best individuals can. Also suggestions are always welcome. Hope to see you all there Mr Totally Loopy

I handed out fliers for our November meeting last year and learnt that Animates have a policy against putting up fliers promoting anything except themselves and their products. Another store has not been very enthusastic in supporting us at all even though i think it is in both our best interests. I am however very grateful to Redwood Aquatics and Critter Kingdom for being encouraging and supportive towards us. I am slowly working on getting fresh fliers printed and distributed to all stores at the moment, whether they go up in the store where the public can see them is anothere thing though. For the November meeting i visited every pet store in Chch (about 10 stores) and i only saw 3 fliers get displayed so they could be seen. Bit disappointing really.

FANTASTIC! thank you! That is what i want to hear! I look forward to meeting you

Time for the next meeting! Saturday March 3rd, 5.00pm at 57A Hoon Hay road. Please bring a plate for a barbecue tea. Everyone is welcome of course. I am quite dissappointed in the turn out for the February meeting so i hope that this month will be better. My undying gratitude to the couple who did turn up to the last meeting. *THANK YOU!* We need more people like you to make this work. Come on folks! It is a lovely summer and what can be better than relaxing on a Saturday evening chatting to others about all matters regarding fish and having a good old barbecue??!! I don't want any excuses!! If you all want a fish club down here in Christchurch then you had better show your support for one!!! You have been told!!! I expect to see you all here this month!

Well I am honestly quite dissappointed in the turn out for the February meeting! My undying gratitude to the couple who did turn up. * THANK YOU!* We need more people like you to make this work. Come on folks! It is a lovely summer and what can be better than relaxing on a Saturday evening chatting to others about all matters regarding fish and having a good old barbecue??!!

Hi there again, We meet on the first saturday of each month. Next meeting will be 3rd of March. I usually post a message in the clubs section of this site all the meeting details a week or two before the meeting.

Hi and WELCOME! Great to see another Chch fish addict! Keep an eye out in the clubs section for details of our club and next meeting information! Would be great to see you

Hi there!!! WELCOME! There are a LOT of Chch fish keepers about. We Chch folks are lucky in the fact that we have the most fish shops per capita in all of New Zealand. I am trying to start a club so we can all meet up and chat fishy! Let me know if you are interested!

Hi there Fluffypants! and WELCOME! Lol! You bet me to it Caryl! You will all be more than welcome to come along to our meeting! Welcome again and hope to see you! Sharon.

I was thinking about 5pm and making it a "bring a plate" barbecue tea. I thought i had mentioned that here but i must have been thinking of the other thread i posted in. Thanks for asking!

I honestly don't know who is going to be coming! I have had a reply from 1 couple so far to say they are coming otherwise it will be a complete surprise. I do try to let as many people know about the meetings as i can though.

Welcome! Sounds like you are very excited about the new tank! If you are interested you are welcome to come to our club meeting on the 3rd of Feb. All the details should be here http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/february-meeting-of-totally-tanked-vt18496.html

hi there 1familiarfish Thank you for your interest in the club! We are still just a young club so will have our fair share of teething problems. I am hoping to get into the routine of having a meeting on the first Saturday of each month except January. And EVERYONE is welcome!!! Variety is the spice of life remember! I have two preschool girls who will be running round so the backyard and house are very child friendly. So ALL ages are welcome too. I look forward to meeting you. If you have anymore questions please don't hesitate to email me!

Pearling??? What is it? Is that when like you do a water change and all the plants get covered in tiny little air bubbles? I never really thought much about that when it happens in our tanks except "oooh! that's pretty!" :lol: So it really is a good thing? hmm.... *must pay more attention to these things Loopy!*

Welcome and Hi there! what sort of catfish and cichlids have you got? I love the catfish too! I just wish i had the $$$ to buy some of the more expensive types! (i think we all wish that though, Don't we? :lol: )
