Iwagumi? A true iwagumi, just get 1 or 2 types of carpeting plant.. TAKE NOTE that an iwagumi is not easy to maintain (talking about bags and bags of new soil + HC only, imagine that.. )

i tried once last time with glosso... failed badly coz insufficient lighting...

It just looks simple.. doesn't mean it is hehehe.

Drew

one of my oto die liao

@Michanz, once they're happy. they get out of control.. fast.

where is the good shop to buy aquarium plant?

I'm at sec1 wangsa maju.

Aiyor... instead of posting "WHERE TO FIND... bla..bla.. bla!" Why don't you find first, by using the search engine provided by the forum, if still cannot find, then only ask la. READ LA. You know how hard ar to compile... Drive around, walk around, yumchar, exchange, drive around, use scooter around, get lost together. So many pairs of slippers used, so much Teh-O, Kopi-O, Milo-O, sirap all in the stomach; sometimes lousai also got just to get/find the best LFS that sells good quality stuff. Not forgetting so much saliva/air liur/housui used in the process...

Senang-senang ask "where is good shop to buy aquarium plant"... go look at your nearest tasik/lake/pond la... FREE!!!!

Mich: I wanna get pelia from you can ar? Narrow Java same like other Java, rhizome plant. You un-bungkus the plant from the branch/dw, then you cut at angle 2 leaves together, then tie to whatever la... in your tank/room everything also bloom!!! You the man now la!!

Added on February 10, 2010, 2:43 pmakagidemon: Caboomba is the super easiest plant to keep. Perfect for noob. Try to read up on what makes Iwagumi an Iwagumi before embarking on it. Google Iwagumi, search wikipedia, checkout ADA images. If you plan on having Caboomba in your Iwagumi, my guess is your tank is super huge, if not bigger than 6 feet high then forget about this plant

Sounding harsh today

oto usually quite hardy. maybe u got an old otto?


i got them before when its just a rhizome plantlet, bought some moss and found this rhizome root i didnt know what kind of fern it was so i hantam tie to the wood now it grew... just that it dont grow in one direction hahahaha


im not from that area so i wouldnt know, try check out the list of LFS in pets wonderland first page its pinned up.. and start from there



rilek ar uncle! today really hot day u also feel hot ah
btw one thing weird about pelia is that, my co2 bubbles would collect in between the leaves of these pelia, and after awhile those parts has burn-off marks on it.. but when i put in my other tank with no co2, flourishes like mad.. i think pelia doesnt work well with high amounts of co2.. just wana share my experience.. kinda interesting for me LOL
i think i do have some leftover pelia, gave away about 80% of mine, well theres still some good amount left.. =D will give u all i have since they dont do well with the co2 mist! will pass to u some pelia soon, wait i senang a.k.a tak malas.. hahaha
im just lucky my tank average out at 22 - 23 degrees everyday nia

gaaah keep thinking of upgrading into a bigger tank! well not longer but just deeper and taller..
something like 2feet long atleast 1.5 - 2ft deep and around 1.5feet tall.. but then hafto get atleast another bag of ADA soil and 2ft lighting set
hope i get work lolx

@Michanz, anything above 2feet tall needs a metal halides intensity ( or just really a lot of tubes LOL )

Drew

you need to trimmed out those old leaf inside of those expose leaf, if not those inner one will rotted ugly.

dude, read the pin thread.
Anyway, i can tell u, if u want to get any good aquarium equipment or livestock, i can tell u there's none shop in W.maju got...
