Angel fish and yellow cichlids? Definitely a no-no.

And how big is your tank again? Even if 4 gold fish, you'll need about 3ft tank...

Perut kembung type will grow big too smile.gif And goldfish do require more space as they really can dirty up the water very quickly. I have 2 goldfish in my 2ft tank with a canister and hang on filter. And even then, it takes quite a bit of effort to keep the water clean too.

Less than 1ft tank?? Not much fish choice, really. Around maybe 3-4 guppies will be easier for you to start off, depending also on your choice of filter. Neon tetras are ok too, but they're not too hardy and require more swimming space to really appreciate their beauty.

Anyone arounnd PJ/Shah Alam area can spare me some HC that they have growing in their tanks? Submersed and not emersed, ya. Don't need much. Am will to trade with some spiky moss in exchange.

For me, it's 25% water change every one or 2 weeks.

Staurogyne? Let me go back and check on their condition. My tank I neglected for 2 months already.

You'll need to introduce new shrimps into your shrimp tank every couple of generations. Else their genes will be weak from too much interbreeding.

Guys - any tips on how to create the white sandy path or river? Planning to scape one, dunno if it will be challenging?

Creating is easy. Good looking one is hard. Keeping it clean will drive you crazy.

If I remember correctly, Shirui sand will look more natural. If you're getting silica sand, make sure it's really it. Else you'll end up with sand that will alter your pH.
