Ask Rob, he knows all about water floods. Alan

Nor would I, I was joking. Alan

Any finer you'd be pure Warren. :roll: Good one Rob. Super, now we can see where we are up too. Good work. Alan

Aren't they all? When I die, then return, it willbe as a male guppy. Alan

No way definately not. They are fish, and they already have names Swordtail Guppy Platy Convict ETC What else do you want. The poor fish will have to go and get counselling if their names were changed. Bad enuf to have to supply board and lodgings for them for nothing, now the power price is going up AGAIN. Alan

Hope it doesn't blush too much Goldie. :roll: Alan

Is the word that you are looking for - - - phototropic - - - Alan

A good hunting ground for this, is where a cool-store is being built. They have off-cuts, totally useless for what the want. Go waggle your eye-lashes and see what you can score. Or maybe, just ask nicely. Only one problem, it has metal on both sides that has to be removed, but hey, that's a cheap price. Alan

LoGan, What have you been eating or drinking lately?? I suggest that you see a doctor immediately, if not sooner. Till the visit is made, rest lying down, with the feet raised. Goodluck Alan

What ones would you suggest rolling into a magazine alan_au? Alan ps. who said we would have you, or if you do come rip up your passport b4 you land Get in no sweat then. LOL Al

Woops :oops: Was that really two years ago. My doesn't time go by fast when ya having fun. Well that only changes a small thing. It will be known as the Bi-annual Napier Fish Fest Alan

I replied to 'Cat's" suggestion and said "why not have a weekend like we had last year with a fish auction at Napier". Don't know what happened to the post. If it got deleted or munched by the system. But thanks Bruce, that IMO will be great, You do of course realize this will be two years in a row. Thereby becoming a annual event. :evil: Good, something to fill in, till we get the National Fish Show up again. Alan

I have already told you my version, so I wont repeat it. See Derek Heath of the Lower Hutt club, he has bred sterbs. Alan

while back on this post Peg. I can inform you that no one in NZ has registered a khulli breeding. Although I have heard of some "smaller" loach found in a com. tank, but not enuf to register. (must have 10 for 30 days) Hee hee, is the drug 'viagra'? Alan

Good sniffing Joze looks like you could be correct with the salvins. While we are admiring the fish on the link that joze put up for us. Does anyone have any of them for sale, Salvini that is. To be precise, a male one would be really fine. How do you sex them? The male has a black patch on his gill operculum. So that makes the #one flick is a pic of a male. TIA Alan

Are they Severums?? Alan

you could make enquiries to Greg Leveridge of Tauranga. He has rotifers for his sea-horse breeding establishment. Wether he would share or not is a different matter. He got his cultures from the harbour and sorted them under a microscope. No I can't tell you his addy or phone #, I don't know them. He is the only one in NZ that is breeding the tropical seahorses, KUDA spp. Also exporting to the States and Canada, and making a good living out of them, thanks very much. Alan

Welcome Kelae Why does your water need Aqu safe? you didn't say. Frogs are super sensitive to chemicals in the water. What sort of frog, other than "aquatic" is it. Our NZ frogs are not tropical creatures, so not sure if the fish tank is the right environment for it to be in. Where do you hail from, this may negate what I've just said about NZ. Alan

And remember a discount is only offered, NOT neccessarily given, so be nice, DON"T demand. During my last shopping spree (for fish, what else) all but one of the shops gave me a discount, the one I didn't I missed out on. But hey, I only bought a pair of platy for $5. I thought they were cheap enough without asking. Alan

This thread has gone way way off course. Nothing abot my piranah or rdedtails now. Alan

Lake Grassmere ask Caryl, they get it for nothing except a nice drive Alan

Do we have Peppermint Bristlenose in NZ? If so, what price do they go for,and are they breedable? also if so, has anyone bred them yet?? Alan

There used to be F_T,but that was too hard for MAF to understand. Now they only have a "Permited List" Check with Rob, our esteemed "Breeding Co=ordinator" Alan

Sorry about the double post peg, slipup, sure we all have them occasionally. As for the others, stiff bickies, I was repling slowly to Chris, ok? Alan

You can't get PURE ammonia Chris, It's too dangerous. It just have to be the uncontaminated toilet variety. Check at your local chemist,tell them what it's for, keep in a well labelled bottle and in a SAFE place. I aquired mine from a local industrial site down this way. Alan
