Thanks Shae, I've emailed it to you. Jane

Hey everybody, thanks for your responses. I am happy to stay on if it is workable but I don't want my lack of Web access to cause problems. Last I knew meetings are held on MSN too? My computer climbed into a deep dark hole of error messages & the nice man at the computer shop had to reformat it for me :roll: , so I have been out of touch for a wee bit. Jane

Unfortunately my ISP blocks the new website Mystic has set up. it seems to have a real loathing for MSN, so I will need to resign as Vice President. :oops: Groan, I know, more elections. Sorry to do this to you all, but a VP who can't keep up to date is pretty much useless :-? Jane

Hi Dawn, just in case Penejane doesn't see your post.... She was talking to us in the chatroom and has put him down :-? Something noone likes to do, but is unfortunately necessary sometimes.

Hi Heni, Welcome My piece of advice is: You shouldn't change your water & clean your filter at the same time. Again because of the ammonia eating bacteria. :oops: Great to "meet" you in the chat room last night. :lol: Jane

Hi Davyjey, I'm new too, the site and the chatroom are great for any questions I have, the knowledge here is awesome Jane

Drive half way. I wouldn't expect anyone to do that! Even my cousins say.. "you come here"....But wonders of the world. Hark? Phillz has Fry, and lo all things come to those who have friends with family in Dargaville.....Phillz has very kindly agreed to mother her babies a bit longer until one of us is down that way. . Thanks Phillz. Jane

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. Problem with Trade & Exchange and Trade Me is that they require "Pick Up Only" and tis too hard to arrange. I shall have to ponder. Jane

:lol: How about two 1100's? :lol: Thanks, I await your article. Jane

Hi, It's basically that you can't keep more than one male in a tank. :roll: Selfish males, won't share.

OK Bill, So what you're saying is that unless I obtain a specific strain from a breeder they will probably have every permutation under the sun and I'll take forever to get what I want. BUT :-? I don't want to risk someone's very special fish dying. Hi Jane, how are those fish I sold you? Some died....Waaaaaah....... Quite apart from getting them here in the first place! By the way Bill here is my car... (link removed) Jane

Thanks Caryl, the first link is helpful if you're wanting grounding or refreshing in genetics & for pics of colours, & the second said Yellow and Gold are more recessive, and a little on the black. While both sites are very interesting, what I am wanting is more info specifically on colour genes? ie people with blue eyes. Blue is more recessive than brown, so, if the brown eyed person doesn't have an ancestor with blue eyes, the babies eyes will be brown - simplified- but surely there is something similar for guppies like a chart or something? Jane

Hi, Where can I find out which colours are recessive?

Hi, I'm wanting to buy some good quality guppies with the intention of practising breeding- and increasing numbers. (And also cos I like their looks :lol: )Which would probably be the best shop? I will be buying unseen and will probably need to have them couriered which sort of limits the places to go. Although a friend will be going to Whangarei next weekend so Northland Aquarium & Pets is also an option. What should I ask for? Or is there a particular person to ask for? How many to start in a 2ft tank? I understand a ratio of One Male to Four or Five Females is good? So do I get 6, or 12? I quite like the blues but, Sorry Shae, don't know their proper name Thanks, Jane

Nice tank! Please tell me its a strengthened or concrete floor. :-?
