in my opinion,
cories eat all the lefover food on the bottom, kinda like bottom tank cleaner or little army of vacuum machines~ otto took longer time to acclimate and easily stressed from transportation/journey and will only eat veggies  they are cute but not beautiful to me i heard Siamese Algae Eater are the best, but they kinda like to jump and move fast, ideal for big tank and is not aggressive and will eat BBA. while Flying Fox is slightly aggressive towards other species but more aggressive towards members of their own species. and for False Siamese Algae Eater, they have a similar behavior with the flying foxes  thanx to the sifus in here, i now know how to spot the difference  This post has been edited by LuQEE: Feb 27 2012, 03:59 PM |

Err sifu, im in a dilemma...
my front tank is empty, so im looking for a suitable foreground plants? any suggestions? *i dont care about the tedious trimming i got sufficient light(i guess) i will install co2 set when buying the plants i will buy ferts when im starting to plant them i prefer carpet type look, not grassy lalang type (but if cant, ill just take the lalang la..)also, i dont have any soil in my tank, just small semi-fine gravel chunks.* heard riccia, just need to tie on mesh or rocks? so it doesnt need those aqua soil to grow healthy? glosso,hc and those grass need soil right? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ btw, no moss carpet plz if possible, still got a plastic container full of java moss. tired of tepuk tepuk that moss everyday, to make them fluffy and dirt free This post has been edited by LuQEE: Feb 28 2012, 01:16 AM |

IMHO, well, sum experiment are based from theory for me
 maybe my method are not good, but well at least im doing sumting to help them..hehe any thoughts sifus? signs of oxygen depletion for me: 1) lots of fauna swimming to the top/water edge/water level & gulping for air during night & early morning. if u kacau them, they will swim under then return back to the surface 2) if the O2 level is decreasing in a slowly margin but replenish abit time by time naturally, the fauna will gulping for air in the morning then act as normal by swimming or playing below the water surface during the day(they may look abit fatigue). but it is the indication that the O2 level is dropping day by day before symptom (1) starts to kick in 3) if the O2 level drop and is nearing critical level, they wont eat even you put their fave foods~ my catfish is a good indicator for my O2 level in my tank since he only stays at the bottom level where the O2 are hard to replenish naturally. now i just add O2 pump and so far, nvr saw him went to water surface (last time he went up during massive bacteria bloom).
