Just my two cents worth, woops five cents. I've had swordtails change sex for me, female to male. NOT a late developer either, she'd babies before the flick. Was a huge male Alan 104

and how cunning fins They would then turn around and go back home. Frogs are good at finding their"own" patch of water. Alan 104

woops Ira :oops: A bit wrong there Wisteria is not Hygrophilia polysperma It is H. difformis, it has a similarity to indian fern, and the leaves of the immersed and the emmersed states, are drastically different. It is a lovely decorative plant. Alan 104

Got a photo of them Daniel? If ya can't post here, email it to me to see please Alan 104

Get a good air-rifle or an alligator Alan 104

Apparently, Palmie has several supply loops of water. According to friend of mine, only one of these loops are suitable for fish. Why not collect rainwater, (you have a bit of that down there), or does it get blown away with that wind. Another way is to go and have a chat with a neigbour of WP's and tell them at the end of the year, you'll drop off a tray of the brown stuff at Xmas, for the use of their water. Check the water from the petrol station nearby, fill with gas, and have some plastic containers in the back of the car. There are a lot of variations to paying for it. After all, it just comes thru the tap at Wp's Alan 104

I had that blu-eye Midas I got it's parents I think, from Frans, when he was importing from down at Tokoroa, the Hamilton club did a trip down there. Maybe Dave or Rob could fill you in on how long ago that was. That other one or that species came in the same shipment. I actually thought they were illegal imports. ??? I am looking for a male by the way. Alan 104

A lot of animals depend on the temperatures during pregnancy and incubation for the ratio of the sexes. Just thought if you did some at 18, 25 and 30, and see if you get a sex ratio difference. Wouldn't hurt trying Alan 104

Try a change of temperatures LB Might be worth a try. Alan 104

What did they cost LB.? Prices vary throughought the country, up here they can reach $4, a bit steep. I met a breeder while at Napier, he told me he had got up to $1.75 from the shops. Alan 104

And a nicer bunch of people would be hard to find Kewl weekend guys and gals Alan 104

:roll: Fins Don't believe wot you read See if you can see any dates there The Pres. I think is Stuart Lord That goes back about 3 years Hopefully things will change shortly Alan 104

Not there Doggie Alan 104

If they were common Fins, I'd be getting them, well, that's what I figure anyway. Alan 104

Stressful?? Mine didn't have their own water, as I use to do. Netted, Mine were scooped out by hand and transfered to their weekend motel. Packing up Once again the net was only used when their apartment was tobig to trap by hand. Didn't loose one fish Thanks Hawke Bay Alan

Cees, as of this weekend, the NZKA has left the "snail-mail" doldrums, and joined the 21st century. Alan NZKA 104

You got it Tim Decapping Alan

Hey Peter, I got first in the Guppies, at the National Show, with a son of parents, that I bought off you. Was a yellow tail with black trim and a slight snake-skinning to his body Congrats on your breed. Alan 104

No Nothos fin But you should have seen the ripper Jordanell floridae, scored 18/20 for size and did a grand total of 88/100 So it was up there with the "MIDAS" If anyone knows it's points, I'd love to hear, thanks. Alan 104

Erling and I have arrived back to the Bayof Plenty safely Ditto the above. Great to catch up with old friends and meet new ones. We did an escort of some Aucklanders to Taupo WARNING Please check your gas tank before returning home. It can make the trip quite a bit longer. My fish have all been returned to their respective homes. Roll on the next show. A birdie whispered in my ear, that a certain person :roll: that said they would have approximately 3000 visitors was bang on, well, near enough. Good work team. Alan 104

What fish lines are you doing Helene?? Alan

Paul Parsons from down that way, use to breed Uarus. I saw dozens of babies in his tank. Little spotted fellas. Alan

Give them life-jackets Alan
