Sturgeons and Polyodon Spatulas spotted at Irene Aquarium Shop. But they're tiny, only 2 inches. RM 45.

I was tempted to get them, but they were too small.

There was a channa there too. But it's really tiny, around 2 inches as well.
It had stripes and had a blue/green tone. Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

I think so. It's housed in the bottom aquarium, to the left of the cashier counter. It was a bit dark so I can't really confirm. You can go check the place out.

This is really, really nice. The water looks good.

I've these two fishes for sale.
PM me for details.

About one foot.

Emperor snakehead or toman bunga. It's about one foot long too.

Need to clear the tanks for other fish.

My brother wants to put sebarau into the tank. Dunno what's so special about that fish.
The two fishes above belong to him.

Salt! Use salt! My brother's peacock bass had the same problem. Just add some aquarium salt (about one table spoon) and it will be alright.

Everyone, my brother has decided to release the peacock bass into a nearby pond.

He told me to ask people if they want to adopt it because he's afraid someone might catch it (and eat it).

The fish had white fungus on its fins about a month ago. Salt got rid of the fungus and after a few water changes, it's now healthy and still very aggressive. However it's right eye seems cloudy. The other eye is fine.

Will upload pics later.




If anyone wants the fish, please reply as soon as possible. My brother is clearing the tank on Friday.
You can take the fish today, or tomorrow.

It was wild caught. The pond we plan to release it in already has many peacock bass.

So, if no takers, it will return to the pond it came from.

Knifefishes are super smart. I'm not sure about Black Ghosts, but be careful with your fingers while feeding them. My knifefish bit the knuckle of my thumb. Hurts like crazy, bleeds non-stop. You have been warned.

Question:
Does anyone know how much a custom made 8 ft x 3ft x 3ft aquarium would cost?

My parents are moving to PJ, so I'm planning to brainwash them to make me a big tank since there is space (and so my fish can grow to its full potential )

My poor aba-aba getting cramped in the 3ft tank.

Ho, ho, ho, that would be my ideal home.
Unfortunately, my parents think that having a huge, huge tank is a crazy idea.

Mom: Who's going to pay the water bill? The electric bill?
Me: I will pay for it.
Mom: Why do you want to waste your money? You can keep it in the bank.
Me: But these fishes are hard to find.
Mom: Then how did you find them?
My brother: Because she goes to the aquarium shop every day.
Dad: What if the tank suddenly break? Broken glass is sharp.
Me: Then what about the existing aquariums? They could break at any moment.
Dad: They are small. If they break it wouldn't be that dangerous.
Mom: Why don't you do gardening? At least you can eat the vegetables.
Me:................................

Parents are strange things. My mom is okay with the idea of a small pond, but not a giant tank. Need to keep trying to convince them.

Hahahha, I told my mom, since she is easier to bodek, that my fish needs "to live out to its full potential" and she gave me a weird look.

My dad said that all aquariums will be placed at the back of the house, which defeats the purpose of having aquariums. People need to see the tanks the moment they step into your house. Even if the host is busy and has no time to talk to the guests, the fish can entertain them. I'm going to try that.

My brother is into aquariums too (He says he's going to keep his 4 footer in his room), so where are gonna team up and bodek my parents.

No, I want a laminated glass tank. I've even saved up to pay for all the expenses (workmanship, glass cost..etc) I am ready to pay for it. I only need the green light to go ahead and have it done. But my parents keep saying its a waste of money, or for the same amount of money I could keep a fibreglass tank of tilapia, at least it can be eaten. They are very old fashion in the sense of keeping things that "can eventually be eaten".

Sometimes I feel like saying "This is not Chinese restaurant okay. Aquarium is not meant for storing fish then eating them."

What's the address of Fins & Greens ?
Also what lifestock are available for sales?

Hi,

Can anyone recommand a very silent sump pump for an 8 feet aquarium?

Also, are there any LFS in PJ or Puchong that has cheap or reasonably priced substrate (sand)?

Thank you.

Okay. Will do some research about it first.

Thank you.

Added on May 23, 2012, 7:08 pmFor the water sound, I think I can reduce it by playing with the outlet piping. I'm planing to make a long rain bar across the length of the tank.

It's the vibration or motor sound from the pump I am more concern about.


Most submersible pump heads have that motor sound, except canister filters. But for an 8 feet tank, canister filters would be too troublesome.
So, I've to go hunting for a quiet pump head.



For the sand, my brother suggested collecting river sand from Chamang river. Thoughts?
