Hi, we like fish too.

Is it rude to just cut and paste from my last "hello" to a new member?

I don't care, I'm lazy - gunna do it anyway.

Hey SAF,

Don't know how literally you want to meet members, but we meet 4 times a year under the guise of the Victorian Betta Group - we have a website, nametags and everything!

Oh my god.

We sound like freaks from the interwebs.

Oh well - mostly true.

are the mite things like this?

Excellent thread, it's great to see what's been and what's currently around... I'm a quiet Killi fan, when I get over this Betta thing I'll surely get some Killis

Are you maaaaaaaad?

(okay)

Riff - are you coming along next Saturday?

I'm postponing a trip to Sydney just for it.

HMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm?

You could take out all the prizes without even trying.

Oh my god.

The colour on the first one is trés beau, i love the dark wild stripe on the dorsal fin, over the dark body and oh - oh - pale blue dragon scale (I'm dribbling, pass me a towel)

I wonder what he'd throw in his prodgeny, that kooky marble gene might gift you with a hundred differently coloured fish! I love him

BEAUTIFUL body shape.

Matching female seems to have non red 2 (orange) CUTE SQUEE GIRLY

....watch out that copper boy is coming home with me at the next dinner Raff!!!

Really loving the form on the females - strong bodytype!

You've got some really lovely fish - now when are they going in the tank together????

xx

WHAT SHE SAID

(:

I don't understand why they do that - yeah effectively it'll rot - my crap lfs tried to sell me ferns and beautiful fancy palms as underwater plants.

Lucky i'm on to them! I totally would have been sucked in if I had't known better.... what's the point?

That's one way to trick a n00b and discourage them from keeping real plants.

I get devo enough when my proper underwater ones turn to sludge...

stupid crypts.

ANYHOO I GOT PLASTIC PLANTS TODAY!

wow. ness. really? gross.

I DONT CARE THO they look.. green. and from a distance (across the road) they look great!

Next step: purple substrate!

That's disappointing, he's overseas at the moment, I wonder if he's seen the link (thanks!)

Just finished it myself.

That was a bit of an anticlimax

Dont tell SiameseFightingFist that there's more than 5 of us that would like to see more content than this on the telly!

:P

dont need no R

....i went out - did anyone tape it?

Les - my adult fish are all in a barracks, each cell is 40cm long and 10cm wide (30cm high) so they get a good run, and I agree that growing out would be great with a run, but it's just not as practical as a 20 bay barracks like this!

If I could keep up with WC's in the unit, I'd be much happier, currently my grow out system allows for 1lt per fish... so it's not much... i'm happy to go down to 500ml while the juvis are 2cm and under.

Just expanding my options!

Talking to someone at the moment about a second hand unit... I'll keep y'all posted with the whoelsale options too if anyone's interested.

Thanks Les!

The boys are the only two I've held onto - the other males were blond (yes I know they're useful) but they all had tattered and deformed tails from a bout of velvet...

I still like the original male (dad) so Ive put him in with the girls and isolated the two other boys.

No snakeskin (I think??) in the males - only the lace and the metal coming through on the boys

I'll look up the PDF

Cheers

These are incredible!!! I'd tip happily over into Killies if I could have one or twenty of these!

Serkan,

I'll see how I go with the w/s angle... always worth a try (;

ofcourse I get back on ebay - look around, think about my custom barracks, then imagine all the A1 barracks out there making too much noise for some users.

will investigate a wholesale pricelist and see if I can do better.. ugh... SO BIG! WANT IT !

I'd be FORCED to buy more fish to keep it full :P

you're awesome !

price is not

Cheers J

OOPS

Hey guys - I saw this system that I thought would be a nicer way to display some of my Juvis when they're for sale - also might be good for growing out (although shared water)

It was in a shop and although quite noisy in the shop - seemed quiet

is it an A1 barracks?

Where the hell do you buy these?

Churrrrs

There's no shortage of weird and wonderful barracks out there.

This is mine

I like it a lot.

I've upgraded to an Eheim filter, spray bar and water changes occur every - well - whenever.

I had a little A1 sponge filter in there with a spray bar but I was WC'ing every 1-2 weeks and it was boring.

I like it a lot.

x

Ah man! the lengths we go to eh??

(; I l ove my filter ...my very very expensive filter - dammit I thought I was getting wholesale... and then it cost me more than a month's rent..
