Me! :-D can I see a photo??

Where is the best place to buy fish in Welly?? Any proper fish shops around?? Looking for a nice betta and a couple of other tank mates :-)

That's a great idea, I'll get my husband onto it!

Thanks for that :-) I got it slightly wrong, AR126. Yup, it's built in wet/dry sort of set up, and it trickles in from the back. Here's a pic of him:

I have my new boy in my AR128 tank as a feature in the lounge. Only thing is that now he's in there I'm thinking the current from the filter might be too strong for him?? Probably should have thought about it earlier and put and undergravel filter in instead, but I was wonder about getting a small internal filter instead of using the built in filter that it making quite a bit of current? Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheapish alternative, or do you think he'll be fine as-is? He does have a rock cave he can go into and behind the powerhead is also calm, but I'd like to see him out and about. He does seem happy, but I don't want that to change, so suggestions greatly appreciated!! :-)

Thank u! :-) Yeah I'd really like to try breeding him at some point! :bounce:

Thanks SamH! How did you do that? :-D Yeah, his gills are black, very cool! :-) A Cambodian CT you say? That's neat :thup: Haha, yes a much better pic ;-) Yup, he's settled in well. He's really lovely, very friendly and loves to show off!

I got a pretty boy for my community tank... I can't post photos in here, but put up a photo in the FB group Siamese Fighters NZ: http://www.facebook.com/groups/150909571710093/ One day would love to breed them :love:

Oh okay, thank you! :-) Whereabouts is that??

Tee hee hee! :happy2: :bounce:

That's true... but half the fun will be looking & choosing on the day hehe! ;-)

Cool, thank you :-)

Yes, I agree about a lot being rubbish :-? When we were in the South Island we had a stunning blue boy, he was amazing! I think we got him from Organism in ChCh, can't quite remember. But seeing the plainer ones around now, they just don't compare so we haven't had any for ages! I love the black & green ones I saw on the photo thread on here, they're brilliant! Two weeks until we can get to HFF, hope they're still there!!! Were they at Albany or Mt Roskill??

I'm guessing Hollywood would be the best?? But I also suppose you have to be there on the day they come in, yeah? Planning a trip up to Auckland in a couple of weeks, I'd love to get a nice fighter, there are some AMAZING pics on here!!! :love:

Yes, exactly the same as that, just a bit more green! It isn't easily removed though, you can't just wipe it off :-?
