Sheepsnana Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I Thought the natives aren't allowed to be shipped interisland? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 is there a reason behind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueether Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Yet native plants are shipped around all the time, and cultivars are created (and released) all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 is there a reason behind it I never said there was a reason. If aquatic species are to be moved between the islands of New Zealand, then approvals must also be requested from the Minister of Fisheries under section 26ZM(2)(b) of the Conservation Act and the Director-General of Conservation under regulation 63 of the Freshwater Fisheries Regulations.

dino Posted November 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I have a tank setup, and had a pair one died, I expect I have a few more. ok can someone give me a hand with water parameters, food dept, movement etc. Currently I am just using pond water as they seem to find that ok. What do the eggs look like? Just need a helping hand to migrate from pond to tank. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 use your pond water some fine sand or gravel or weed from pond and maybe sponge filter or airstone for some slow movement muck from bottom of pond would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 good article. http://mytriops.com/articles/triops_care.stm also remember that they can and do eat smaller ones (peaceful towards similar sized ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thanks Guys, The tank (110 liters, but only half full) actually looks superb when I put on the lighting at night, so natural (i only do it occasionally) there are a few snails and tadpoles and two triops, I will add more only when I have the formula right. I have tried to remove the damsel nymphs, If I remove 6 triops and I replace the pond with 20 I will be more then happy. Shall I add daphnia or brine shrimp? I also have some spare driftwood. about to add a sponge filter and/maybe an air-stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 +1 im really interested in this one.
