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

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

Hello guys! Remember I asked about 2littlefishes aquarium the other day? Ok the next day I decided to buy a tank from Pet Safari at Ikano. And I decided to try guppies. Bought two males and two females

The 35x21x23 (so..8 gallons?) comes with Aqua Zonic 11w lamp that is said to provide 8hours of sunlight.. And Classica hang on filter. 4.5w, max out put 400-550 l/h (what's this ah?).

And the guy at that place recommended me to buy bio rings (which he pronounced as bio ling making me a bit confused ).

And then I took some water plants from my mother's tank (full of guppies but no filter or lamp!) which I don't even know its name. The plant has many roots on its body, so I cut it into pieces and tanam the roots into the sand in my tank.

At last the tank looks like this:









Okay so I have a few question for u guys!

1) How do I clean the tank? Just take out 3/4 of the water and wipe-wipe and wash out using the water from the aquarium? How often do I have to clean?

2) How do I clean the filter and how often? The guy at the shop told me to wash using water from the aquarium also. He said no need to clean thoroughly but just rinse gently. True?

3) There are things in the filter called bio-foam and carbon cartridge with wool that according to that guy need to be replaced every 3 months. Where can I get these things?

4) Is it okay if every time I see the fish poops I quickly scoop the poopies out? Or that will disrupt their natural environment or something?

5) Do we have to clean the sand thoroughly once in a while?

6) Oh does anyone know the name of that plant?

So urm.. for now thats all I guess.

Alamak really? Let me try first for few months... Urm what filter would you suggest? And the price?

Oh thanks a lot for the reply. Really appreciate it
Urm I bought the tank set (+ filter and lamp) for RM88. Then plus sand, anti chlorine, bio ring, fish scoop, fishes, food about RM140?

Hey thanks for the info! For something as important as filter I think Im willing to buy anything under 50? Thanks for the suggestion ya!

My aquarium is now being invaded by micro tiny snails
I think its because of those cheap wild plants that I used. What do I do now?
My tank currently only have one male and female guppy.
