BCC has organised permits from DAFF and asked ANGFA Qld to co-host a pest fish information day at Forest Lake on May 25. BCC Pest Fish Education Event Hope to see some locals there .

The Queensland Federation of Aquarium Societies (QFAS) is holding another combined clubs super auction this Saturday! The combined clubs auctions are some of the biggest events on the aquarium hobby calendar for the greater Brisbane area. At QFAS Super Auction you can expect to see a lot of speciality fish, plants, aquarium furnishings, and lots of other hobby related odds and ends – much of which you’re not likely to find in a pet shop. Many club members maintain lineages that aren’t available commercially and/or regularly produce champion fish for our local shows, and bring their surplus a

Yeah that's what he needs - someone else inflating his ego :P

Some of the taxonomists don't recognize cornuta as a distinct species and some call it a subspecies (i.e. Ceratopteris thalictroides cornuta). Never heard the name 'Indian Fern' used for it before - very misleading for a plant with a pan-tropical distribution. I've always seen it called broad leaf water sprite.

Nowhere near as many pest problems in the soil free cultures - mites and fungus gnats always find their way ino the mix.

Flour can still end up fermenting and it's trickier to get the wetness right - I gave it a go because it's cheap (but so are oats) and because am analysis I found in an aquaculture journal (sorry I didn't kep a reference) got better nutritional value and higher, longer lasting production from wheat flour than corn flour (last place) or oats (close second). I'd agree with the higher production but I rekon about one in four cultures I start with flour don't take (prolly just my sloppy technique) and if I don't top up the flour after a week or two they drown as the water separates.
