Pegasus Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi there Brad, Welcome to the NZ Fishroom. Looks like you have some real nice tanks and fish there. Some pics would be nice if you get time. Talking of time.. there's a couple of hours or so difference over here, but I suppose you know that Look forward to your posts. Bill.

Alan Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Looks like it's the Gramps of the group to be the welcoming committee. Good to see you here, and we are just over the Tazzie Feel free to drop into chat, we hardly ever talk fish, but are prepared to do so. We start about 9.00pm NZST Might see you there.

Faran Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi Brad, welcome! Orange Spot BNs? I'm dead keen - haven't seen those around here much. Have you ever shipped any fish over to NZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakyfish Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Yeah no worries ill try and get some pics up soon Ummm never actually tried to freight fish overseas before so not really up to date with what im allowed to send over there I was looking at the price of zebra plecs over there god i wish i was there lol there are still over the 1000 here if you can find them starting an aquarium shop was alot harder then expected its one of those shops where you cant just get up and leave for a few days have to be there to check on everything but the up side is the variety of fish that are freely available to you and discounted prices lol Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herefishiefishie Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 That colony of Fronnies looks alot better since you borrowed my male fronnie lol. The 2-10.5 Foot tanks are getting there finishing touches applied...Brad will it be finished by the start of next week? If so I can add some pics too. For starters, this is Brad's Peacock Bass,(Cichla Monoculus) About 40cm? Not the best of shots, hint for Brad to remember to get new lighting.
