Fruju Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I really like the look of the larger natives, tempted to setup a tank with them....better not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossPants Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Shame about the koura but the rest look to be doing well! Look forward to seeing them on thursday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Nice! How are your bandeds during the day (when settled in the tank)? I put four fat ones in the Te Manawa tank expecting them to be out and about and real show-stoppers like the ones at Turangi, but they mostly hide apart from at mealtimes.

livingart Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 they have gotten better as time has gone on lots of driftwood has maybe made them feel more secure the giant is venturing out for short periods during the day now small banded is out all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 They do look nice. I have found that since all the smelt died the inanga are spending more time hiding amongst the drift wood. They do seem less spooky, less darting around happens in the tank now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
