Chris.L Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 the fish i really want to keep when im in nz is killies Alan and ajbroome are the people to talk to these about! Alan is around quite often and you can catch him in chat most nights at around 9pm. AFAIK ajbroome is the president of the NZKA.

Pegasus Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hi Chris.. (we have a few Chris's he he) You picked the magic subjects... Killies and Clubs The guys will be along shortly for their nightly chat in the chat room, and we ain't worried where you are from, you are most welcome here, and best of luck with the move over the ditch. I'm a Northlander... so I can't comment about the shops down South Jump in the chatroom around nine and intro yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Peg, who says we don't worry where you come from. What was the league score?? Well? Did you see how Chris wrote his intro? You Kiwis are JUST so gullible. He said"I'm moving to NZ unfortunately" Another typical oz-struk-a-phalien. Welcome aboard MATE, hope we don't splash too much for you, I'll PM you about the killies you mentioned, later.

Caryl Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Giving the benefit of the doubt I assume you meant "I am moving to NZ and unfortunately can't bring my fish and tanks". That is how I read it anyway. Nelson has a lfs or two but not killies very often. They are rarely in the shops. Alan will PM you details for the killie club - the best way to get fish. As for cheap tanks, check the local Buy Sell and Exchange magazine, keep an eye out in the local newspaper and the auction rooms. I am just over the hill (mountain range to you ) from Nelson in Blenheim - an hour and a half drive away.
