phoenix44 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 i saw the killifish! even that big as one that i rufuse to believe is a killli i met zev... she is cool as... but my friend shelley isnt too keen on fish (she likes stick insects and is doing her masters on them ), so we went and walked all over town, after looking at the aquarum twice, and i ate at least 3 pies from that real nice pie place and then at around 4 we headed back to palmy but by then i had lost contact with you guys, and didnt know how to get in touch with any one! must meet every one next time... perhaps organise a show in palmy where there are ever so many members? PS- it takes about 2.5 hours from palmy its 175km from napier. i can do it in 1 hour, but i shall need a koenigsegg ccxr and a set of diplomatic plates.

Zev Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Nice to meet you too, Pheonix - you forgot to ask about your plants!!! The sjostedti was a monster, wasn't it - I think Barrie has been overfeeding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron-Betta Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 The sjostedti was a monster, wasn't it - I think Barrie has been overfeeding it It made mine look so small when compared. And here I was thinking I was overfeeding mine. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 The offending fish... As a reference the outside ring of my camera that you can see in the reflection on the glass is 56mm, so the fish is approx 90mm long. Will have to take the camera with the circular polariser tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 unfortunately he still needs to be bigger as he should grow to 120mm.... I thought he was about 100 I should measure him at some stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wok Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Well, All the fish are packed and are happily on their way home, or new homes. Billaney managed to outbid a number of people and is taking home some winning killies, so watchout for next years Killie show where Billaney may take out all the prizes. Thank you to all who participated and visited the show during the weekend. Hope to see more people next year in Napier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
