thanks for the help

what gravel is best for in a breeding pond and where to get it in christchurch

You're seriously over complicating this.

:iag:

You get a group of fish and add them to the pond. Simple. You don't even need gravel or any substrate if you don't want it.

Don't expect any fry at this time of year though.

ok i am learning to still breed fish

my method is Chuck a mix of males and females into a pond, scoop out babies

who stocks minnows in christchurch?

John at Organism often has them.

where is that

Corner Ilam and Clyde roads. http://goo.gl/maps/DBSRx The shop in green in that link.

thanks how much are they roughly

Why don't you ring the shop and ask?

i am getting them from petworld is $4.90 a good price for them

pretty standard. Some places will give you a bit of a discount if you get more than five or so

There is someone trying to sell some on facebook for $3 each in Christchurch. https://www.facebook.com/groups/NewZeal ... 759598770/
