Cool thread!

Okay just bought a Spotted Gar and a red tailed catfish just two days ago. And then today(After gaji masuk ) bought somemore a bichir and a pair of tiger shovelnose fish.

My idea was to have exotic fishes in the tank? Or in other words uncommon/rare fishes la..

P.S: My tank is a 4 x 1.5 x 1.5 feet

So below are some pics of them:

I think my aquarium is a bit too crowded. Was too greedy when going to fish shop i guess.

Thinking of letting go the shovelnoses.. Any takers? Cheap2 la

Really? Why?

I just saw a payara for sale at BU Centrepoint.. Its around 6inches in length. Price was a whopping RM250!

Btw, anyone knows any shop selling Pacu fish? Or is it illegal to own one? Lol

Just wanna have a look see.

Nice gars! I love gars.

Btw what fish is the one with the orange stripe tail and red fins???

Really?? Thanks!! Found the location on google, just as i wanted to go tomorrow they close on Fridays.

Is that a dwarf snakehead?

Okay.. Thx for d info

Hey, already found a shop selling Pacu's at Sg Buloh. Not really Sg Buloh town la, just the same row as the nursery's, near Kota Dsara junction. Very 18SG!

Btw, not bad of an Aquarium shop there. They have lots of fishes. Dwarf snakeheads, bichirs, kaloi, barbs, oscars, knife fishes, catfishes, plecos, etc. I was interested with the dwarf snakehead tho. (Channa Bleheri) Quite interesting.

And they have this 6 feet tank with a few Lapradei's(i think) inside. All average size of 15 inches? Nice to see.

That would be superbly fantastic! Haha


Anyways, need help. Seems that my spotted gar now spends most of its time on the tank floor. Changed water, I checked water conditions ok, its appetite also not affected. Just that its not that active as its used to. Feeding time ok la, he'll be out n about eating. But after that, he'll only lepak at the same spot. This happened a few days ago and im kinda worried.

He doesnt look lethargic or tired or stressed, just calmly lpak at the tank floor.

Is this going to be a problem? Anybody else experiencing the same thing?

P.S: Mine is a 4 feet tank with a Silver aro, RTC and an Oscar. Pic below:

Thx for sharing! Thats a relief. Hehe.

Yea, he looks like he's hibernating. Or maybe he's downright lazy or bored of the tank. Thats why earlier he was active! Haha

Btw, how about holiday food?

Err better to wait till the oscar is bigger. Gar's can surprise u with the size of the food they eat, considering their mouth is quite small if u see just like that. Plus alligator gar can get bigger than spotted gar's if im not mistaken?

Wah, got pacu oso the oscar win meh? Hahahah cool!

Btw, heres a vid of my lousy tank.

Wow thats brilliant! It should work! Plus, your not around for only 4 days they should be fine. I know some LFS they feed their fishes only once a week. Crazy huh.

Nope, 4 feet. Lousy camera makes it look 6ft i guess. Haha

Wat kinda fishes u have?

Really? Cool! Hows the puyu? Got scar? Haha

Need help. Theres some sort of mucus on my RTC's body. Is this some kind of disease or something? Not a lot, but visible.

Uh its gone after i changed the water, didnt take any pics before changing tho.

The mucus looks like saliva, or perhaps frog slime? Haha. Sort of like that la. Has it got to do with ammonia concentration? Just asking tho

Yea I did. Maybe because i added salt its gone? Lol. Dunno la

Dammit u guys are so lucky u have space at ur house. =P
