QUOTE(Namgor2006 @ Jun 13 2011, 12:04 AM) Pleco has quite many types also, some selling in high price cause it is not local breed such high fin leopard pleco (if i'm not mistaken for the name). Mostly pleco & corydoras are family, which they're belong to Catfish category. wow! those discus it surely attractive,btw is tat java moss at the bottom of the driftwood?Pleco does eat algae, but less effective than SAE or Otto cause they're actually omnivorous. Search Omnivorous in google, u'll know what it's mean  Here are some update for my tank:    http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2...&type=1&theater |

Or just take from waterfall If you gonna put it into normal fish tank, the sand will turn yellowish and sometimes algea Kabyss87: please read first page of this topic i have 2 tanks. 1 tank i already use small stones (appx 1 cm ea) to fill up the bottom part of the tank. i was mistake earlier,the 1 i look for is a small tiny 0.5cm rocks. lolit's really bored if the bottom of tank is empty. usually ppl use sand as gravel for what purpose?

QUOTE(weijie @ Jun 16 2011, 03:33 PM) As you said, if bottom is empty then not nice. i wish the stone pick from roadside can be use, but i doubt it. previously i had nightmare with putting stone in tanks which cause me 3 batch of dead fish before i learn the mistake. i use tap water to wash then put under sun and finally use boiled water rinse it before put in tank. So some ppl put sand or small stone as decoration If you are using stone you pick from roadside, please beware that those stones might give acidic or alkaline effect to your water If those stones are from fish shop, I still recommend you to soak in water first for one week before put into aquarium  |

i tested the gravel i buy last sunday with vinegar, the result is all the white pebble rocks and palm size rock all reacted to it.
 i saw some forumer said that those rocks reacted to vinegar cannot be use on freshwater tank is it? all the stones i bought now have to dump to dirt now  |
