OK, that I can understand But there are others on here breeding or who have imported a while ago for breeding. Where have all those young ended up? Its just like a big void to me lol, where all the cool fish drop into and are never seen again...

So where do your fry end up chin? All those beautiful fish you breed?

lmao love it! Youtube comments do seem to have a certain special quality about them...

Gorgeous bettas I always wonder where all these fish that get bred end up!! Not many advertised on here or trademe, surely they're not all going to Auckland pet stores? Big demand for fancy bettas, and theres a few people on here like chin that seem to have a heap of beautiful breeding stock, but then only 1 or 2 ever come up for sale. Where do all the fry that grow out go?

nah nah, hes fine in there. Just do daily 90% water changes (he'll enjoy playing in the shallow water)

uh... *insert slightly confused raised eyebrow smilie here*

Well, first I would recommend they didn't breed them, as there are enough cats out there needing homes as is. Not to mention the slight odballness of mating a leggly, long nosed, short haired cat to a long haired, short nosed cat. Why?? If they are still all for it, your mate has a lot of reading to do on mating, pregnancies, what can go wrong, how to monitor a preggie cat and then the kittens and be prepared to fork out a lot of money if things happened to go wrong (ie an afterhours caesarean). Plus the increased chance her cat might get sick if something went wrong. Do lots and lots of reading on the internet (as I don't think you'll find registered breeders will be particularly keen to help you with this haha) Also to note, will be that your Dads Persian should be screened first for PKD (polycystic kidney disease) as its hereditary in persians in particular and any cats that are used for breeding should be screened first to make sure they do not have a problem. I believe it involves an ultrasound of the kidneys.

lolz. Yeah poop needs scooping out. It just sits there, or gets buried if the cat feels so inclined I just like the stuff coz its cheap and smells good. Used to use clumping litter from the warehouse, but they stopped stocking it :roll:

Never mind the Chichuwa, more importantly, we can put him over other breads?? I would like to put him over my loaf of Molenberg

Both my cats use litterboxes. One is still an indoor kitty, and the big fat boy goes out into the back yard (which is fully fenced and he rarely gets out) as I live on a busy road and don't want them lost, stolen or run over. The big boy now does most of his business outside as he prefers it that way too. tinytawnykitten, tell your friend to buy the big 20kg bags of pine pellets (that are for pellet fires). They are $14 from the BBQ factory, or wherever else sells them. I get mine from Heatrite. They last for ages (>4 weeks) and crumble to sawdust when pee'd on and smell like pine trees. Cheapest kitty litter to use too 8)

Cheers for the congrats Wok, by ball and chain do you mean ring? haha. He had had one made for me specially, I love it. Just had to get it resized smaller, but that took only a couple of hours last Saturday lol Southerngirl, the boys here tried to do Hundy Club on Sat night. Of the 6, only 2 made it, and of those 2, only one didn't bring it all up straight away :lol: supsai, whats going in THAT tank???

Was beautiful here in Palmy (ZOMG shock horror, I know!) and so we took a trip to the beach. I feel like sharing some photos, coz we had a cool time. The running stick was just asking for this: And oh yeah, I got engaged a couple of weekends ago. Me and my fiance: Me pretending to be a photographer: Seagullz: My boy: Our flatemate jumping off the dunes: I spose while we were beaching, some of you were up the mountain enjoying the 4 1/2 metres of snow?? :lol: What did everyone else do this weekend?

How big are yours now mitzy? Must be fun watching them grow

he never got the fry to survive though. And I'd say that was through lack of other options, as he had no other golds, let alone longfins

I thought the crosses turned out really crud looking? Like a mix of the two, ie a gold ram with some weird colours/a really dull blue ram. Dunno why you'd want to create those :-?

Canon 350D, with the kit 18-55 and telephoto lenses, plus a macro lens we bought. Got it 2nd hand as they are half price compared to the new 400/450Ds Very happy with it. And my Dad has a 400D as well and loves it.

Gooooo nano planteds! C'mon, you know you wanna whack in some more lightbulbs and grow glosso

Ooooo I love tank blogs. That tanks got heaps of potential, and I love that bit of driftwood. What fish have you got planned for it too?

Add me to that list. Just went and deleted the email. I doubt they did it on purpose, everyones knows what spam is. Seems unlikely they thought of it as a money making scheme etc, and I think making big statements about never purchasing from them again is a bit premature lol

*cries* I wanna go boarding!!! Can only go in weekend and every weekend since there was good snow cover its been crap weather! So unfair, waaaaaaaaaa But I digress, awesome shots

Does this cloth smell like chloroform to you?

Let us know how it goes 8) Pics from mine are here: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/setting-up-my-nano-planted-vt31547.html

Before I planted my glosso, I read a few websites and they recommended splitting the glosso up into individual plantlets and planting them. I did this and it worked great. Each planted started up a runner and now they are spreading everywhere. Might take longer if you start with a matt, but if its the only way to hold it down, then you might have to? I planted mine in sand, was time consuming and tedious due to the number of plantlets and separating them out, but they stayed down perfectly

That my friend, is good old fashioned java moss 8)

Cheers guys Fish seem to be doing ok, and the hatchets arent as shy as I thought they'd be at feeding time! Welcome to the forums Whiskeysgirl! You should put a pic of your tank up in the tank photos thread
