fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Oh I'm sorry I thought someone told you . Do you need anything from Yagoona? I don't live far so I can pick something up for you if you want . My parents just live down the road from Strictlys, literally 5 minute drive.

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yeah I was worried about overheating too. That's why I carried mine around in a bag all day all of mine made it, although the yellow male guppy was starting to look a bit out of breath, he's OK now . So sorry to hear about to loss , it was a really sweet little fish. Was there anything special at Punchbowl? They guy there and I get on because we both like creepy crawlies , you can order MW and VE from them. They had some nice guppies there last time. Strictlys is the cheepest if your looking for tanks, custom ones cost an arm and a leg so I stick with standard sizes or tanks I find at fetes.

Jess Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Those guppies are fabbo spesh on the left! Good to hear you had a great time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Is that why you piked Stephen? I wondered what happened! I have a hunch based on the long body and excessively long ventrals, that Mr Gas is in fact a wild x splendens. Don't know if Paul will like that :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango4Jade Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Nothing good at punchbowl, when David was there it was really good, but the owners now dont really looks after it well. Very disappointed, epecially the marine tanks. Fish was quite cheap, but didnt end up buying anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Paul doesn't care if Mr Gas is a mongrel, I mentioned that to him in the shop that's why I showed it to you, you know more about wilds then me. Mr Gas is only going to be a pet fish anyway. Guess I'm getting used to Mr Gas he's coloring up a bit now, he's baby poo yellow with slime green, he's quite handsome believe it or not, and he's tail span isn't as bad as the pic shows, he hasn't flared yet. I've also noticed that it's mouth isn't the typical spenden shape from the front view. What do you think he's crossed with? He's a real mytery isn't he. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Fair enough, have you ever tried Tropical Water's Aquarium at Burwood? I discovoured it whilst walking from the bus stop to the Westfield, it's quite nice, cheep and clean, but small. You have to ask when they're getting new fish in, that's the best time to go.

Callatya Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Do these guys count as fish? And because we lost mango, here is the back of his head And a cool tank at Atlantis (OK a bit garish, but its an awesome concept!) And Lisa and Liz at H2O inspecting the central reef tank And A cute White Goldiedude And er, a tiger shovelnose cat?? (correct name plz?) '> And a small selection of the tanks at Atlantis '> And a gar-like thing we saw on the way home to feed Lisa's horses '> :) There are a few more, but i was trying not to use flash in case a billion bala sharks went nutso and caused a tsunami, so they are a tad blurry :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Oh yeah I forgot to introduce the clan. Ok After me there's Red Shirt John (he doesn't really like fish, he just come along for the maccas ), Doggies Jersy Paul (Mr Gas owner), Curly hair Anna (she stole my blue girly I got from Lisa ), Dude in the Holden shirt is dad he currently has no fish but he wants to restart his tank soon. Edie your smooshed I'm between us Grahams poor thing. BTW Abbey I really liked your shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Bottom fish is a shortnosed gar (I think), although it has spots like an alligator gar, it from the lepisosteidae family whatever it is. How big was it? That catfish has me stumped, I thought I had it in an aquarium book but I can't find it, how awesome is that fish . Did you get any of the sharks?

VickiPS Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Picked up a few new fishies today . Paul's deformed?/wild crossbreed?/ x-tra long bodied MGPK 'Mr Gas' which looks like he was beaten over the head with an ugly stick . He's a unique little fella isn't he. Call me nuts, but I keep thinking smaragdina hybrid. Mr Gas doesn't really look much like wild splendens to me, but his overall colour, shape, and fin shape look a bit like smaragdina. His operculum looks greenish too, but that might just be the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkey Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 have you ever tried Tropical Water's Aquarium at Burwood? I work just up the street from that shop. It has only been open about a month so it still looks very new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najoha Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 What an amazing day!!! Thanks Di, Edie and Liz for making a long day sooo much fun. I'd still be laughing if I wasn't in soooo much trouble. ( so much for honesty...). What a great bunch of people and I would gladly take any of you on a Sunday sightseeing drive anytime. Di and I did 6 fish shops plus Edie's place. Thanks again Edie and all the fish are bright and fiesty this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Great pics! Thanks so much for sharing!! You guys look like you were having a ball. Mind you ...with all those tanks in the background - who wouldn't!! That "tiger shovelnose cat?? (correct name plz?)" looks like it wants to take someones arm off! The photo makes it look huge! How big is it IRL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango4Jade Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Woohoo You got the pic of my head If anyone was wondering what I was looking at...I was looking at an Arowana with no tail >.< Abby, did you manage to take any photos of the huge display tank at Atlantis? O yea, the catfish is called a Tiger Shovelnose (Pseudoplatystoma tigrinum), an illegal fish...very expensive and can grow to 42inchs...so just over 1metre. And Mouse, it was quite big in Real Life. Also the Spotted Garfish a.k.a the Florida Gar (LEPISOSTEUS PLATYRHINCUS) is also an illegal import, bout $750 a pair and can grow upto 30inchs. Both very nice fish IMO :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz40 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hi everyone. WOW...What a great day. Thanks to Joanne for all her hard driving. Excellent work. Thanks to Edie and Di for allowing me to 'mellow' in the back seat in the arvo. Great company and yes, we did a lot of laughing. It was so good to finally meet everyone. I had a wonderful day. We came back last night and endured one of the most horrible flights home ever! Talk about bumpy! Shocking turbulence. Was very surprised to see good ol Brissie was surrounded by Storms as well. Anyway, we are safe and sound and my pooches are VERY happy we are back. As for mum Mishy, she was at a dog show with my brother. One of his King Charlies got a Best of Breed. So he was feeling somewhat chuffed too. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
