Yeah longkang fish. In my case goldfish which costs less than 10cents.

Yeah frozen bloodworms. Even my turtle likes it very much!

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

Thats quite far a distance. Nvm, this hobby can wait. As long as u can get someone to feed ur fishes at home, they should do good.
It took me sometime to update my tank as well (and other former tanks before). Will post pics later if i hv the time.

True true.. Thats why i dont have plecos, although i really like L26 and L46 very much.

Thanks about the background paper's tips. Got the idea now maybe will try later.

*Really enjoyed watching Senegalus in Kejong86's video. I realized its more active than Endlicheri. Err.. maybe i should get one too

sorry, noob question:
oscar + birchir = ok?
oscar bout 10"++ size. birchir EE maybe 11"

I think i watched a video in youtube before, a community tank mixing oscar & bichirs & other sps.

U can try in youtube. Good luck.

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

Hm risky.. risky.. Personally i wont bet against that.

uhh....so i just stuck with a school of silver raboras la then with her since they still dindt get eaten yet?
<--- muka hampa

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. :'(

Silver Rasbora, is it this fish? Or silver shark?



I think we're in the same boat here. I wanna keep gars too, but scared they'll outgrow my tank very soon. Bichirs are bottom dwellers, and could be quite boring sometimes. So i think my tank need another surface fish, preferably the active ones.

Do u guys think arowana is a good choice to house with Bichirs?

Its ok, as i said earlier, this hobby can wait. Ure lucky to have a brother who shares the same interest. Lets take it that way. Cheers.



Seriously? AFAIK, releasing a gar in the wild is prohibited, as it may threat local SPs.

I suggest u not to do it. U can just trade in with LFS owners when buying another fish. He'll offer low price, of course. But u get a win-win situation. The fish also will have a new owner.

yup, it is, i got a total of 11 fishes in there, making a nice schooling fish...

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.

School of fish always make a wonderful view

I would like to find tiger barbs too



Flyriver Turtle (FRT) or Pignosed Turtle. Can see pics here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1409358/+2440

Its a fully aquatic turtle so should be no problem.

Can study details here http://www.austinsturtlepage.com/Care/care...iver_turtle.htm

please dont simply release non-native fish into our waters

my place here already got a few ponds infested with those damm peacock bass which have reduce the numbers of the other fish significantly.

No worry. I will not. :-) ..
