Graeme Jackson Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Hi all, Back from Taupo, Found the Molly Pond, will post a couple of picks soon. What an awsome site. Spent an hour just sitting on the side of the road watching the goings on. Didn't try to catch any, I think you would need to check water conditions and try to match it in a tank, smelt quite sulphery and may be quite acidic. This spot should be protected as a National treasure, its got be unique. Found the LFS, also a great place and came home with a few new bits and pieces, as you do. Even borrowed a bit of gravel from the lake for my next tank. Where to go Next??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Awesome... neat to just sit and appreciate a wonder of nature. One question, who innoculated it with mollies instead of discus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirkus Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Grrrrrr! i wanna go 2! theyr definitely mollies right? not some sort of mosquito fish (part of the Gambusia genus)? although i can believe they are. one other question, what about the effects theyre having on the wildlife, anyone know what the original fish were before (whenever that was) the mollies were introduced? (stepping into the realms of ecology and i apologise for changing the course of the topic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
