Silvia-15 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 hey fishkeepers. Im a 2nd yr bcom student at auckland uni. Most my mates think im a nut job wasting money on fish. So far ive only met one other guy who keeps fish thats from uni. Im sure theres more of you out there that share the same hobby of fish keeping. If you guys r keen, we can start our own little club, 2 share ideas, help each other out, or just chat. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollergirl Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Oh yea and am keen to start a club as well . I'm actually at uni now in the bio computer rooms, there's a big planted tank in here, absolutely chocka with anubia/java fern. I'm going to ask for cuttings soon I think, the plants are growing out of the top of the tank! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Why ask? I would just take and if anyone comments tell them you are just doing regular pruning :lol: Unless it is part of some experimental thing and being dosed with something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollergirl Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hehe yea, tank is a bit of a mess actually (although it looks cool in a wild-forest type way) I could just tell them I was re-aquascaping it for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplecatfish Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Start a club and get funding from the student union. They used to pay 50% of travel expenses. So you could all go on a mollie hunt near Turangi, or get them to pay for a whitebaiting trip or a trip to the national aquarium. For fund raising do a sausage sizzle. We used to make $400 in a 4hr period. With the grant from AUSA we hired a van and paid for petrol and went on a tour around the North Island. It was a great New Years holiday and it didn't cost me a cent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickle Pickle Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I'm keen. It would be quite cool hanging out with fellow fish geeks occasionally :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
