livingart Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 As requested My Giants decided that the inanga and bandeds tasted good only one banded left out of the ~1/2 dozen whitebait I had to replace the ones that died of old age last winter. I wonder if we need to have a "Show us your native tank" sticky thread? Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiraka Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 :yaw2: Thread revival.... I guess this never really kicked off but we all know there are a few tanks out there, so don't be shy. Here's my tank, it needs a bit of a rock-re-scape: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiraka Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I will post my tanks once I get some gravel. Mitre 10 and shops of the like are good for big bags of cheap pebbles. The stuff in my tank was a 10kg bag for $6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverdollarboy2 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Anyone still keep natives? My Giant Kokopu is doing very well on Repashy.

kiwiraka Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Uploading with the insert media option doesnt appear to be working for me either. I use photobucket, or you can upload to members albums first. I've downsized my FW natives into a 200+ litre, just inanga and bullies at the moment. I'm currently setting up a SW native in my 900 litre, I'll post pics of both later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverdollarboy2 Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Cool, I have become obsessed with redfin bullies , maybe one day I'll fill my tropical tank up with natives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 The FW native tank, I'm planning on getting a proper light and growing some plants. The SW native is still a work in progress. I went the DIY live rock route which has been great and I'll be making more after my exams.

The darker one was just being territorial, they're both usually the paler colour. Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
