Added on October 2, 2012, 12:01 pmHow do I started eh??? Can I just take sand,gravel etc from river and put it in my tank?? I have ask a lot of shop. But they don seem to sell those sand or soil. Im from kluang, johor btw. Thanksss. :-)

Noted bro. Will put those pleco away asap. Huhu. I
thought they were cleaning those bichir. Yes. U r rite. Senegal is cheap. But the endlicheri is pretty pricey.( or I am being conned?) Most shop here sell those colourful gravel n I hate them.

Huhu. Rite now I just give them small fish. I've put pallet but they seems just to ignore it. Huhu. Maybe i'll train them later to accept pallet. Haha the senegal always eat like hell till their body looks like exploding. Will put rock later. N wood. And plastic plant. Dun have much time. Only free on weekend. :-(

Added on October 2, 2012, 12:59 pm3ft tank is sufficient?? Do the size of the tank will affect the fish growth rate??

Feeder fish???i giv them rm1 longkang guppy fish only. Bloodworm the one that is freezed??

will definitely give them this weekend. huhu. now i am 100 km away from them.. 

3ft can only housed ur senegalus well but endli is king sized.
Mine a few inches already can see significant growth. So imagine it stuck in ur 3ft after a few years?

Plecos dont commed well with birchirs. They kill birchirs slowly. Given a few months, birchirs become gar food.
Get driftwood and PVC to create hidey holes.
Wrapped ur tank (3 sides) with black papers, bottom need red paper or red substrate. Then use red lighting. All these will make their markings more significant.

Senegalus takes pellets well. Train it. Lower cost compared to live feeders

It's a risk. Oscar is very territorial. Mine even bullied fishes bigger than him.
So make sure ur tank is very large, and he can have his share of territory.
If not, small polys will be tortured till death do them apart

Thanks guys. For all the tip. :-) .argh I dun wan my bichir to become the gar food. Maybe I will start to collect bichir only. I t is my destiny. Lol.  but I oso love the gar. :'(

Antzz. My time with them is max 10 days only in a month. Huhu .luckily my little bro shared same interest as me. He is the one who taking care of them.

Yeah. I'm also thinking of arowana. Ok. This weekend. My gar will have to start to learn to take care of itself in the wild. Gunung lambak. Here I come!!!

Huhu. I might try trading the gars first. Anntz what kind of turtle?? u add turtle the same tank with ur fish?? The turtle can survive on deep water?? I'm thinking to add crayfish.

Aha. How about deep frying my gar??? Anyone ever tasted them before?? :-o

Ur turtle look great man. Is it expensive? LFS near me only sell those normal turtle. :-o

Woohoo man. Super cute. Huhu. So pricey. No no for me. :-( .last week saw 1 arapaimas selling for rm 380.. Size about 5 to 8 inch I think. The fish looks super aggresive. Restless. Dark gold-green in colour.. what tank suit them?? 20 ft..?? lol..
