the-obstacle Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 The stand looks great and all the tanks look really good. Somebody overfilled the planted tank and it spilt all down the back :roll: :facepalm: I say it needed a waterchange anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I agree the stand is looking amazing! Far better than I thought it would.. Thanks to hollywoods again for all the tanks, posters and hand outs it really helped to fill out the stand and we have a raffle running with almost $500 worth of prizes! Also a big thanks to birdbarn who also donated a tank which will be given away to a lucky kid who can guess how many chocolate fish are in our big jar.. More Pics and aquarium world article to follow.. Thanks to Jaxx the Midas is awesome and settled in well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Unfortunately you are not allowed to bring your own pets I just checked the website, no reason you can't come and see our stall join the club and buy your doggie lots of stuff to take home and cheer him after being left behind. Take heaps of money. It was dangerous last year. My dog ended up with a new waterbowl, more toys, soaps, lots of stuff he didn't need, and a lovely little bath robe with a big blue heart, big hood and a gingham tie which makes him look like a really feminine canine boxer. Poor boy haha! Good luck guys! Wish I was in Auckland to come have a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 The Wellington clubs get involved in the local pet expo and the Home and Garden Show as well. This year I think they are only doing one as the dates were changes for one of them and they felt they could not do two now so close together. I can't remember, off hand, which one they decided to enter - the Pet Expo or the Home Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice222 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I just found it hilarious how my harlequins seemed to like the trip. Or at least the big water change they got from being taken for a trip to the expo with their tank. Were spawning in the tank during the expo, and I think I saw around 8 eggs drop . They usually only drop 2-5 per spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took no money and really pleased I didn't cos I didn't end up broke at the end. Fabulous weekend - and Hollywood and Birdbarn sooooo awesome! Sold heaps of raffle tickets and kids were all really keen to win themselves a tank. Well done to the Friday setup crew - the stand looked beautiful!
