disco Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hey all, Joining up to learn more about fish keeping in NZ - so glad to have found this forum, it's a brilliant resource! My summer project is going to be constructing a paludarium, looking forward to getting plenty of advice (especially about what sort of plants to use in a planted tank which I know next to nothing about!). I am studying ecology at Canterbury Uni and am particularly interested in native species, would love to be able to keep some natives in my future paludarium... Oh and am a big cardinal tetra fan too, mostly because they are very pretty! My current pet collection is a cat, a mini lop rabbit and a very active border collie x jack russell that I am super busy training in dog sports with (agility, competitive obedience, rally-o & tracking/working trials!).

Stella Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Wooo another natives person! Good timing actually... I have just arrived in Christchurch and will be here for the next couple of weeks, visiting as many freshwater scientists as possible and hopefully going out looking for fish. I am writing a field guide to NZ freshwater fish (natives and exotics). Wanna go fishing? :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Right! Am starting a trip thread in the natives section, I bet there are other Christchurchians keen for a trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Laura Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Harrrrooo Welcome Yes, pictures of dogs! Are you enjoying rally-o. Just started it with my Shih Tzu :facepalm: , beyond hilarious actually Hope you enjoy your time here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Here is a pic of Elsie, will post some more when I get on the computer at home. @ The_Laura: yes we are quite enjoying rally, doing rally novice at the NDOA this weekend so hopefully we will come home with two qualifying legs. Have you done any other dog sports prior to rally? How is Shih Tzu training going for you? agility is our main sport, I am only really doing obedience until Elsie can get her CDX title and gets enough of a foundation for working trials/tracking... All going well so far, but looking forward to her being old enough to get into the ring for agility and trials (April for agility, and October 2013 for trials!).
