Wok Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'd also be interested to know how you can become a registered breeder... first of all you need to belong to a fish club You are lucky that you have a number to choose from Kapi mana club Wellington Aquarium and Garden society Upper Hutt Aquarium society then you take note of the day you see your new fish swimming, then a month later get another club member to site the fish and then fill in the breeding form and send it to me. simple Let me know if you want more info.

Morcs Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Does that included raising a batch of fry with a x% survival rate? Ive found getting many different fish to spawn is easy. Raising the fry however, not quite as easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 All you need is to have 10 fry survive for the 30 day period. and the parents must be cited too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrie Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Mr Wok Did you get my email asking about specie and registering? I have a several that are waiting your reply before I get someone to site them and fill the forms in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie841 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 All you need is to have 10 fry survive for the 30 day period. and the parents must be cited too. Do the parents need to servive for the 30 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Do the parents need to servive for the 30 days? not if they are convicts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Do the parents need to servive for the 30 days? Fraid so. as the parents need to be seen at the same time as the 30 day old fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie841 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Fraid so. as the parents need to be seen at the same time as the 30 day old fry So the last batch I had I would not be able to register if I was a member because the mother died a week after the eggs were laid. I think it is funny that you can have fry and lots of them but not be certified as a breeder because the mother did not survive? Is it just me or is that confusing?

Rob Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Fraid so. as the parents need to be seen at the same time as the 30 day old fry I know that Wok is the current breeding coordinator so I don't want to step on any toes but the rules and regs simply state: "The breeder is to have possession of both parents at the time of spawning." (emphasis added) So buying a mouthbrooder that already had a mouthfull would not qualify or simply hatching killfish eggs you'd got from someone else would not qualify. If the rules have changed to still having the parents alive at the 30 day mark then there are potentially going to be some irritated killikeepers (for those types where the eggs are kept in peat for months before hatching them).

Caryl Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Where does it say the parents must be alive at the end of the 30 day period wok? This is news to me too (hunts for her YB to look up the rules) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 also, is it still, for fry, older than 30 days, younger than 60?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rules have changed to still having the parents alive at the 30 day mark then there are potentially going to be some irritated killikeepers (for those types where the eggs are kept in peat for months before hatching them). OK. I stand corrected. :oops: Rob is correct. You don't have to have both parents after the spawning. Fry need to be seen and confirmed by another FNZAS member after 30 days, and then I need to be informed of this registration within 60 days of Hatching (free swimming) the official form can be sent / emailed to me at a later date for my official records (form can be downloaded from the link below) hope that helps The official rules can be found here http://www.fnzas.org.nz/index.php?PG=breedingscheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 sorry to hassle you I hope you understand the reasoning behind what Im wanting to know. It would mean that all Fundulopanchax would be lumped in together as would Nothos, Aphy, Epiplaties and South Americans In other words, in Killies there would only be possibly 5 sections instead of the 30plus that we have Which would pose problems in future searches for someone with a specie that needs preserving Killis are quite unique in that respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 have someone site them now, and I will come up with a result later tonight. For goodness sake, it is sight, not site - you are not a teenager engaging in text-speak, pull your socks up, Wok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquila Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Or it could also be 'cite'...hehehe. 'Sight' kinda doesn't make sense...shouldn't it be 'see'? 'Site' works if the person makes sure the can be found at the residence! The English language is nutty!
