Thanks mate, you will notice it is the first on "THE LIST" A choice of two replies so far. Alan 104

Craig, PM or email me as soon as possible. Check your PM, it's in YOUR interest. Alan 104

I'd like to know if this fish is allowed to be imported into NZ. Alfaro cultratus Thanks Alan 104

There is no reason the shop's name can not be named. You are only saying what type of fish he has available. In fact he may like the advert. Only thing I can see against it is that someone may go down and buy them under your nose. By the sound of it you have your cheque book out already. Those type of fish NEED crowding to be non-aggresive IMHO, and heaps of caves and hiding places etc. Alan 104

Too cold Too hot Rong pH Big hungry fish that have bigger mouths than themselves. Lackof shelter Light colored gravel Too brighter lights Turning lights off and on, to darkness and from darkness. In other words, sudden light variation Poor water conditions from pollution, over feeding, dead tankmates. Filter being off for a long enuf period to affect the bacteria in it. Over aggressive advances by amorous mate. Defending their territory. Earthquakes. Ya sure you want to keep fish?? Alan 104

Which is about 10 handfuls of gravel. Alan 104

1,433 litres =1,433 kg 310 gallons = 3,100 lbs. I think that's right Bill. Alan 104

And what is wrong with that Chim????????? An excellent way to get ideas and to meet others on the same wave length. Why not be first and put your hand up. Rnb, watch ya time factors mate; 6 or 7 tanks in four hours is rather an optomistic think. Unless they are in the same street, ya know what I mean?? Having been on "crawls" before, I find the travel time is overlooked. At 6 tanks you are only looking at 40 minutes per tank. Also, hopefully you do, make sure everyone has a road map and location of the tanks to be visited and in what order. Another problem is the amount of use the toilets can get when twenty plus people turn up in an urgent need. A few crossed legs have been spottedby me at some of the crawls. Doing a tank crawl in Auck. doesn't come near doing a crawl in Morrinsville. All those trafic lights and cars, and cars, and did I mention the cars?? Alan 104

Bart687 said So converting that to metric, and rounding off, it's 915mm long 610mm wide 760 mm high So multiply them out, that comes to 424 litres We were only working off the information that you gave the forum. Alan 104

with all the money you can make with the GBN, buy some new plants of the same ilk. Anyway, the GBN are prolly enjoying munching around the BBA. Alan 104

Shels, go to the top line where it says "Index" on the left and "logout" on the right. Halfway between is "SEARCH". Click on that, and when the page shows, type in whiteworms in the top slot, enter, and wait. Now read your heart out. Do the same with microworms, and brineshrimp. The areas are loaded with reading and information. Alan 104

If you're tank where you are breeding the GBN is only for that purose. Why change things? Put up with the beard algae and get more babies. You may upset the parents into not breeding. Alan 104

Try keeping them away from the glass wall. Alan 104

If they start breeding Wok, I'm picking you'll have trouble. Try it tho Alan 104

Thanks Shae, but read above. He won't join to answer those queries. Hejust emailed me his prob and I aren't going to do a three way conversation with him when he is quite capable of coming on site. But thanks anyway Alan 104

Thanks for the answers guys Iinvited the person to come on line and help with the answers, but as you can see there was no response. Can't help those that won't help them selves. Thanks Bill, similar thoughts as what fishbait was thinking. But I'd still err on the water conditions, or a genetic malfunction. Alan 104

Get ya truck ta break-down Vicki. I'll vid. tape it. Would think someone in authority will tape it also for the FNZAS library. Alan 104

Pegasus aka Bill aka carol Lucky it isn't spelt differently. We couldn't stand another, now could we?? Alan 104

and all the time I thought a dry reach happened the morning after a hard night. Ya learn something every day. Thank goodness Alan 104

Gee Bill, how long you bin living here?? Ya hang a bit of a right turn when ya come round the bottom of Sth America. Don't forget to signal too Alan 104

Change the word "sump" to "filter" then. Alan 104

Could not the stress be the sump starting to go off?? Alan 104

Not that I'm superstitious or anything. But I picked that up on other forums where apparently it is risking the death of your PL*CO if you use the "E". Why tempt fate. :roll: Alan 104

Stu, from a little acorn a mighty oak grew. Keep up the good work. Alan 104
