hmm too bad no pic d. no idea what mid valley is selling but IME, the zebra otto shouldn't be aggressive.

Drew

nice start up with eheim
bba can be due to unstable co2 supply, too many or too little for the tank
at the beginning some plant is melting at first, then will grow up some new leaf.

yesterday bought otto at NA rm3.50 ea & sea rm2 ea

what's a reasonable price for a drop checker? where can i buy one... not thinking of an ADA one, too expensive

check the amount of co2 in the water. roughtly rm25 u can get. but totally useless for me, no effect at all, wasted my 25bucks.

I'm badly in need of SAE.. if someone knows where they are currently being sold or someone are willing to spare some for trade or money, pls do let me know.. i need 3 of them..

thanks.

I just bought them at natural plant aquarium, cheras

hello
I collected some hydrilla from a park pond. How should I clean them b4 putting in2 my tank? Should I QT?

I rather not use anything plants from the wild, cause they always got snails on them... Bad experience...

u can quarantine them for few days before introducing into ur tank

Hey everyone. Dunno if this is the right thread. Anyway, Im planning to buy a small tank+filter from a small stall called 2littlefishes in Sunway. Anyone have heard about this brand? They sell small tanks and have their own filters and lamps. Just wanna know if their filter is reliable. Im not planning to start a planted aquarium. Just want to keep a small gold fish in my hostel

I wanna dip in dilute bleach can? Then can dechlorinate

yeah i'll do that

Gold fish dun stay small

After doing some reading yea.. maybe I should just keep a Betta. So have you heard about that brand?

Can, hopefully it'll kill off all the snails and their eggs.

And be careful of dragonfly nymph hitching a ride, I accidentally brought one back the first time I took plants from the wild.

how small does the tank has? dimension please.

I saw the stall before, but I think 2littlefishes is the name of the stall, not the brand of the stuff they are selling...

If possible provide picture...

But from my readings back when I kept bettas, you need a minimum of 5 gallon tank to keep the betta happy and healthy. But they will still survive in smaller ones, "survive" only, not happy and healthy... And for bettas you don't actually need filters, cause they live in very slow flowing waters in the wild. A bit too much flow will actually give them stress... IMO la...

I want to start this hobby, but i don know how to start. I am wondering what kind of filter i need to cater a small tank.

Added on September 17, 2010, 4:09 pmThere is a lot of guide in internet on how to start a planted tank, u just need a google . Describe small tank? If small tank like mine 1.7ft, i use eiheim 2211 + substrat pro + sponge + bacter ball for filter and filter media

@Roz,

Even if u keep betta, dun think is easy also, remember to keep the water clean, do more wc if your tank is small or else later ur betta kena fin rot
