Guppies is less than Rm1.00 if you buy from Jalan Pasar, Pudu.

Sifu's new here. How do i get started on getting a planted tank.
I have  1feet nano tank( Ocean free set) = 1 lighting and 1 HOB filter.

I read through about CO2 and DIY CO2. Now i would want to make a CHEAP aquascape tank. Or i should just aquascape with plants that do not require CO2 injection( Java Moss / Marimo). My ulterior motive was to create a Breedable CRS/RCS shrimp tank. As long as the tank can breed these shrimp can already.

guys - wanna ask..

I put in 4 gold fish into a tank already with 2 yellow cichlids. The next day, all gold fish go to heaven. Are they not supposed to mix, or the water for a planted aquarium not suitable for gold fish?

somebody help me... want to know whether shrimp can live peacefully with fish such as neon tetra, clown loach and flying fox. will this fish eat the shrimplets?

i made a small experiment...2 crs in a 3ft tank with some mosses and of course full setup for crs needs just to test water...guess wat the female carried eggs in a week lol...

yeah i think i want to convert one of my nano tanks to be a shrimp tanks, maybe start with rcs that seems to be easy to breed.

now, where do i start? where can i get 'good' shrimps, and how to identify male/female or pregnant ones?

hope u guys can help. thanks.

My LED lighting is finally progressing. will update soon.

Guys anyone breed before zebra danios or know any knowledge on it? Because I wanna know how big are their eggs so I can buy a breeder net that has holes big enough for eggs to fall to the bottom...

And anyone know where to find egglayer powdered food? Thanks

@michanz ,
Thx man, ya i saw many nice fully deco nano tank in youtube XD. But is hard for me to find particuler plant like Riccia lehh plus where to get the carpet thing?? .

Dang really envy you guys man. How i miss KL, anyways, whole week been shopping around all the LFS in MIRI  and guess what? nobody does planted tanks here. Only 1 shop has some stuff but not much lah. No plants, and they only have Azoo plant treatment ( general dose) the lights are uber exp haiz, and well this shop has CO2 reactors and difusers but maaan they look really old lolx and dusty etc. SO will do ye old DIY with jello lolx always works! lolx. other than that the only lighting i managed to get is a simple nano sized one less than 1 foot lolx. for a 2.5ft tank haiz. nvm lah I cant find any soil anyways. Only one i found is just a 4.5kg bucket of terra soil.

Oh I cant get any rocks either!! >.< Looks like I'll have to go hunting at the nurseries and head to the beach for the "white sand" and drift wood soon. Anyways, I think i might head up to KL if i'm free for a weekend sometime soon i hope. Oh and if anyone has any used lighting for sale DO let me know. I'll get Michanz to purchase on my behalf then either post it to me or wait till i get back to collect.

But overall condition of the tank is a constant 23 degrees ( 24 aircon games room) so it's a very nice temp for moss breeding!!! lolx. Overall the plants which michanz sent to me are well, yet to be settled, they just sitting in the tank for now and actually growing! lolx.

Oh btw, Michanz, you still active in MAC forum arr? Any forum I can get in for WTB and WTS items? the online shop too exp lah lolx.

Guys, why my java moss like dat 1. Btw i plant java moss b4. It was suppose to be dark green/green. I bought mine from EastAqua  at MidV. The Moss is inside the plastic, so i suspect it lacks of something. Maybe phosphorous or iron?? Or wadever. Or is it ok??   

>Btw i bought my drawf hair grass potted(emersed), so is it natural that some of my grass are turning brown due to acclimation??
Substrate:GEX red packet

Lighting: 3.5 watt per gal. 6 hours of light at midnight till 6am.

Temperature: 28 Celcius during day. 26 at midnight(Air-cond)

No Co2, No fertilizer. Tank running for 3days.

SAes I have nitemare on them...

Amano will search for it next week in Penang...any place got sell amano?

Lol, coz i see at 88mart got drawf and its cheaper at M.V then i buy lo. Then after planting,then only i realize, why some of the grass brown di(after 1day). Hmmm, if my grass 'really cant' make it, then i will just get some at M.V(immersed).

Btw, if i put moss inside the substrate is it ok?? lol coz lazy tie it up. This is my 1st planted tank btw, so sifu's here tunjuk ajar sikit. TQ TQ 

Michanz, Yeah i KNOW you LOVE shopping for fish stuff like the old days ey? hehe but seriously not sure when I can go back to KL this year. Heck even Xmas I'll be in Miri >.<

Mustang : how much you selling your seachem flourish and excel? oh and for Delivery to Miri, Sarawak. Trust me i'm serious about getting stuff here.

aBc! : never heard of neon tetra's being aggresive before.

Update : OK. I did some research and found out I can use Akadama Soil for Bonsai plants which is what Takashi Amano used to use before his line of ADA soil. However, sad thing for me is, I called a friend who runs a large nursery here and guess what? they dun have stock of that either! >.< haiz... they use their own mixture. time for more research ... >.<

Oh and guys, if u have any used stuff like lighting, plants, Hoses ( yeah cant get 1 inch hoses here, the green ones ), etc. DO let me know i WANT 'em ALL!!!

LOL!!

well, my yamato seems to have this type of 'cancer' for more than a month already, do they carry this cancer for so long? plan to move it to an empty tank and see if can get shrimplets or not.

wah bro..so pity dat moss oh..last time u planted liddat oso leh?

u can always tie the moss as michanz said..
here's example of the moss i tied in my tank..


and here's after nearly 2 month..


it's not the best tank around i know due to the algae and all, just wanna share the results after tying the moss..it's a poor man's tank anyway

Wah~ nice plant.......!!

OMG, yesterday night i found some organism swimming in my tank.
not sure is it mosquito larvae or something else.
my tank only consists of 2 big rock and had the filter running.
havent go buy soil and plants yet. it was just an experiment tank to see how it will look like.

then i have to empty the tank. 1st try, FAIL !!!!!
sien.

next step, getting plants and some small fishies.

WAAA GGming got own fish shop d arr? damn man.. the Sifu of all sifus! hehehe been a long time since i last saw him or even spoken to him. Maybe he forgot me edi lolx.

as for CO2 injection, actually you do not need CO2 injection if you are running a low tech tank. A plant basically needs 3 things , which I like to call the plant triangle. Nutrients, Light and CO2. A plant is adaptable by nature and by providing say excess Lighting it will spend less effort in looking for lighting and make more effort in looking for nutrients and CO2, it's  just how they work.

You have to see however what kind of plants you are growing. If say java moss, then CO2 is totally unnecessary. All you need is nutrients and lighting. No doubt it will grow slower compared to WITH CO2 but it is not necessary.

if u noticed from my 1st pic, i already got that java moss in there, just trimmed them before snap.. the one i ikat to stone are spiky and flame moss.. weird enough the java moss blooms like nobody business after trimming! maybe i shall trim my spiky and flame too to boost their growth? really in love for spiky moss for the reason uve just said michanz, thick and bushy, err.. the spiky moss la!

anyone trimming spiky moss can donate to me pls...

anyone trimming spiky moss can donate to me pls...

My Aquarium Temperature . need to DIY fan soon .



What type of plant is this ..?
Hopefully sifu here can identify it

Thanks
