Hey

I have recently got a few of these fis but I will need some instructions on how to breed these fish and how to raise the fry , So if any of you could help it will be greatly appriciated. Another thing does anyone know where I can get aquarium quality peat bulk around the tauranga area?

Thanks

Hi fins, I'll be thru Tauranga in the weekend,

if ya let me know where you live,

I'll call around and help you set them up.

Also where to get the peat from.

Hi

I just got a whole lot of peat quite cheaply. I have set up 2 tanks for breeding and have read all about annual fish and now know how to breed them. Expect to see some of these fish in some of the pet shops around tauranga in a few months.

Congratulations on getting what are a pretty rare fish in NZ these days.

I used to breed decent quantities of both species but have neither now.

I'd love to get them back into my fishroom again.

Contact me if you're interested in how I used to breed them, reasonably

successfully. I'd say there's a good chance these fish originated (several

generations ago) in my tanks...

Hauraki peat works and is usually available from garden shops. I actually

prefer a South Island brand of sphagnum peat (as opposed to the sedge

peat from the Waikato) available from some garden shops as "Kiwi peat'.
