I have already offered as many fry as needed to replace them I think the major losses were in the apistos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Yeah there are plenty of people to meet up those ways and plenty of fishrooms to see.. And a new fishroom to make for myself My shellies are going really well, breed every 2-3 weeks like clockwork so I have tons of fry trying to introduce new young to form a colony but it isn't working out so well lol I am sure Jen will be in touch when she is ready to take on more fish, she is probably like a few others down there and trying to rebuild other things before fish and tanks..

Jennifer Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks guys, your concern is so very much appreciated. I really am amazed at all of the offers of support from the great people in this community. I have been contacted by so many of you with offers of tanks, fish, heaters, plants, filters, a spare bed and most importantly a shoulder to lean on. This is the most generous community and it has made this hard time so much more bearable. I am very lucky in that my house was mostly spared but the garage took some serious damage with split water pipes, cracks in the walls and floor and the hot water cylinder pulling from its braces, not to mention all the shelves coming off the walls. The 6 foot tank in the lounge and the two office tanks survived but I lost 10 tanks in the garage including the apisto trifasciata, wild kribs, large shellie fry, a handful of large apisto hongsloi fry, a few ancistrus and a bunch of dwarf danios. The the large shellie tank colony survived (minus 20 cm of water) including the two lots of fry that were in there. Now two of the females have kicked out their offspring and I think they have spawned again! I have been out helping those in the community who were not so lucky and have seen first hand how much work will be needed to rebuild their lives. However, we can all be thankful that we made it through with only minor injuries. We have had 480 aftershocks since the big one - I am starting to get used to them now!
