Attended the first Bar Camp Gold Coast on the weekend. Hosted at Griffith University and 'unorganised' by Steve Dalton it was a huge success.

 

Great turn out, great giveaways, and great talks. Join the mailing list to find out when the next one is on.

Our little fatty mumma molly finally had her babies last night at 1 am, we added a extra heater yesterday to the tank as she was pregnant for over 6 weeks and wasn't giving them up, the warmer water did the trick and she had about 25 babies!

Caught almost every one and put them in the baby floating tank, there were too many though so made a new holding tank out of a cordial bottle with holes drilled in.

Within 12 hours of placing another heater in my tropical fresh water tank, we had two batches of babies.

1st batch was at about 1am from a pair of Mollies (couldn't sleep, and ended up spending the night catching live babies and putting them in a protective container).Click here

2nd batch was at lunch time the same day, the Angel fish were acting rather strange, it was because a pair of them were laying eggs on the fish pump. About 100 eggs! Getting rather protective over them

wow

Will now have to work out a way to keep the baby mollies, baby angel fish, and the parents away from eachother... thinking a big bit of mesh from spotlight and a coathanger.

Posting photos and video of angel fish having babies shortly...

Video to come if i get around to it.

Hey all,

Got a couple of old (really old / broked / hacked up) computer related things that I need to get rid of.

Would prefer some of these things to go to a community group, if anybody knows of a group that could benefit from the equipment please let me know.

Thanks heaps.
