    CCL, kylefish02, that's his forum handle. Go thru the killifish posts and you'll see his name. PM from there. PM me when you have contact with him then I'll delete this topic. I'll lock this thread then delete it when you have got in contact with Kyle. Cheers Ulun 104
  2. JJ, what is store credit, and how did you get it?? Ulun 104
  3. Put half a glass of milk in with the water. That should help it set off on the green trail Ulun 104
  4. I was just going to put that up. Lot easier to treat in a BBhospital tank. Can then dose full-dose on the main tank, and dose accordingly for the other fish that don't appreciate the meds. at that strength. Ulun 104
  5. It isn't the temp that kills, it just speeds up the lifecycle. When they hatch, and come in contact with the medication, that is the kill period. Must continue treatment for at least three days AFTER you think the fish are clear. Yes, watch for the spikes and do water changes with aged, and same temp water so as not to stress the fish any more. the clowns prolly died from the medication as they can not tolerate the full dosage. Sorry about the loss and hope things improve. Ulun 104
  6. Scientific name - - - Apistogramma baenschi Ulun 104
  7. ljtan55, if they are two males, then I'd be very wary about getting them both and having them in the same tank together. They aren't called "fighters" for nothing. Ulun 104
  8. Adult fish: 4-5 inches (12cm) in length, sexually diamorphic, mouthbrooder, non-aggressive, can be kept in a community tank. Aquarium Parameters: pH 5.8-6.5: soft, lightly acidic water. Temp: 71-770 F(22-250C), low light, floor fish, plants Foods: Live/frozen foods I may have made an error in deciding that they were not a pair. See if you can get them, they IMO had a good price, and may not get imported again. Ulun 104
  9. "T" is the Livebearer class, and I think the AOS stands for Any Other Specie. Ulun 104
  10. Thankyou for that Ktttk. Ulun 104

    Check out Brent up at Pupuke Aquarium, Pupuke Rd. Ulun 104
  12. Some one please Check HFF, Frost Rd for me?? I was impressed with the bettas that they had about half way down the long wall and I think the middle row. I'd appreciate it if you or any one else could check out the name that they have up for them. They were NOT Betta splendens either. I think they were two males, and if they had of been a pair, they'd be in my tank now. Ulun 104
  13. If you get in touch with the Pres. of the NZKA, a Christine Marshal, she should know, as she is the species coordinator. I have quite a few species Shae, but as I have just got back from Oz, I'm not set up for breeding at the moment, hopefully soon tho. Aquanut has three different species on T/M and pretty reasonably grown on too. You are quite right too Shae that there are less breeders and members in the club now. Check the yearbook and get in touch with them that way as well. Ulun 104
  14. Don't they J*****. Thanks for the weekend, enjoyed you company and the experience. Alan 104
  15. Might meet me there, so that alone must be worth the trip?? Alan 104
  16. Wot da "peeking" at Devon? Or is dat translated from Oz to "picking"?? Al's back Alan 104
  17. Coat the ring with vaseline before joining them together. If this fails, I'd suspect a crack or a chip. Alan 104
  18. I hear-tell that NZ is a fairly stretched out set of two islands. Where abouts on those islands are you situated. Some one nearby may be able to help you. I think if you go to your PROFILE and change it to that place, that that is the way to go. No I haven't got a filter like that, but thanks. But with the new tank, I'd wash the filter with some of the tank water, do a water change with aged water, and go from there. But if the flter has been down for too long, you'll have to start all over. Alan 104
  19. Definately now. They are ready to pass on at that size, even if they can't be sexed. Buyers should have the opportunity to get 6 at least, so as there is a reasonable possibility of at least one pair, but maybe more, to be formed. Good one on the babies too. When are you thinking of selling them?? Alan 104
  20. 1.030 is the SG of the sea water Alan. I don't know what that ratio works out to cause I get mine from the Ohiwa harbour. Try doing google on Brine Shrimp Direct, they have a good information section in that. For just hatching them no additions are neccessary, but to raise them up, more salts are required. Alan 104
  21. That's why it should be done with water. Alan 104
  22. You have it Rogan. Heat rises and the cold water moves in to be heated. Called convection if I remember from my school days. This in time MUST create an even temp thru out the tank. Alan 104
  23. I use a round disc shaped emery stone called a spit stone for obvious reasons. Used for sharpening axes. Smoothing edges should be done with running water to alliviate the chance of glass splinters flying and also less wear on the stone. There is also a diamond dust disc used with an electric drill, but I've never used this system, but I do know of others that have. Alan 104
  24. Surely if you had adequqte filtration, therefore adequate water movement, there would be no such thing as a "cold area" The tank water is near enough the same all over. You can develop a cooler area under the gravel without an U/G fiter tho Alan 104
  25. No, they went years ago Alan. Temperature drop, and infill housing stuffed them. Just doing an edit on my first attempt with a laptop. Couldn't find all the keys I wanted (nO THEY WENT YEARS AGO aLAN. tEMP DROP AND INFIL HOUSING STUFFED THEMMaybe you can tell I'm not use to a laptop) Alan 104
