ideal small tank dimentions
I find a tank that is real good, and actually have the most of is:- 300mm x 200mm x 200mm. Perfect for breeding killies. Alan 104

Livefood
No sweat with the mites. Treat them as a bonus of live food. If you do get over-run with them though, submerge the culture and most of the mites will float off. Drain the culture and carry on. The WW's should be in a container that won't "pond" water, and should have drain holes in it. mist it each week or when ever neccessary to keeep the moisture content correct. If it gets too wet, the worms will tell you. They will start climbing out of the mixture and up the walls, finally dieing out and becoming putrid. Alan 104

Sodastream bottle adaptors
It may be an idea for you guys to get in touch with EJ concerning the adaptor. He is a 'gun' engineer. He could at least give you a price to work off. The first one always costs the most.( I think) Alan 104

new account
Ant, ask Cees if he can re-instate your info, I would think he has the ability to do this. You have lost all your posts. I was in the same position as you are now, yesterday. But thankfully it was sorted. Alan 104

gurrrrrreen water
It's a lovely smelling small shrub, although I think it is a bit frost tnder tho. Definately doesn't like wet feet. Oh ! Daphnia. Silly me, I thought you said daphne OK go to your nearest farm ask permission and go have a look in the troughs, water patches that have water in them for a month or more. Out-side excitement. Small things excite small minds, although you will see what I mean when you find a seething water mass. Alan 104

golden lineatus eggs
Feed more often. But cut down on the amounts that you feed. In other words. " LITTLE and OFTEN " Also put in some snails to take care of your bad house-keeping. Alan 104

NZKA
Well, all over for another year, and another happy successful NZKA AGM is finished. Thanks for those attending and organising and helping behind the scenes. Exciting things are lining up for this group in my opinion, from what was discussed. There were no changes to the officers, so that can be read in two ways, there was no one else to take the places, or that the consensus was that they were doing a good job. I hope it was the latter. :lol: We had an excellent one of our famous auctions of fish donated by members at the meeting, and we ended up with no costs for the meeting and a nice little bonus to the NZKA coffers. Several gifts, sales, and swaps of fish eggs and plants, were done amongst those present as well. Also fish were dispatched around the countryside by the returning killiphiles to their various areas.

undergravel heating cables
They are ok, but to have the least hassle you put it in at the beginning of setting up the aquarium. I personally prefer the cables that go in the base-board beneath the tank. Alan 104
