Davd-lw Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 david what an earth is moskitolivi you mention a waste tank hmm I feed my fry bbs and mw but they certainly not growing as fast as yours are beautilful hms by the way look forward to getting some of you soon bbs is only good for certain stages, MW, personaly i think is just wast of time. it doesnt work for me. from the 2.5 years experience of breeding fighters, i realize that one person's work cannt do all, its the team effort, you need to get as many great sources as you can. and focus on quality rather than quantity. there are a lot of great breeders in NZ, surely, they have awesome fish as well, (maybe my Canno camera is the best so far lol). anyway, there is a lot of fun from keeping fighters, make friends with breeders, understand fighters(truely, you need to understand what they think....), imporving blood lines etc. anyway, good luck mate. all the best! let's work together to maitain the quality and establish our own ID in the world.

danval Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thought i would share a pic of the mosquito larvae that i have been collecting from a brackish pond in our section. Mainly little ones great for growing those fry as suggested by David. The bigger ones are for mum and dad! http://www.photoshop.com/accounts/84c5c ... c9c25a0502 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycnlo Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 amazingly enuf dont seem to get many miscquito larve out here .. considering the amount of water troffs etc!! ... might have to try start a special rain water tank to get them going again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danval Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Yeah they seem to love real dirty water. Where i got the ones in the pic the water is brown with rotten leaves etc. I can catch thousands in with one sweep of my net through the pond, most of them small. Try throwing some rotten vegetation in a bucket and place it somewhere with a bit of cover and see what happens. Mind you we have perfect weather here in Hamilton for mozzies as it has been pretty humid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
