flipmode, good luck in ur DIY =)

have fun in fish rearing..hehe

One thing you have to remember in this hobby is: STOP IMPULSE BUYING! aka kena poison LOL

Possible to keep only 1, but its gonna be real lonely plus also hope you don't mind looking high low for the fella! He tends to hide a lot if lonely. Like mine - I haven't seen the fella since I released into the tank   

got some java moss to give away for free.location upm serdang.

flipmode & sisaiko-can, when u wan to collect.

where to get? in stores i barely see much varieties in shrimp.. yellow and cherries will interbreed i think? but i dun care also lol. planning for  shrimp community tank.. i got greens and cherries.. looking for shrimps that are along the line of living in same water parameters..

where to get yellows or orange shrimps? i usually go AI in subang there to get shrmp.. get very much cheaper prices.. in NA is rm3 or 4.. in AI rm2 only.. that day they have millions of greens. some rednose shrimps. and cherries.. and the usual crs/cbs..

not often get other diferent colors

Cycle the tank?

Btw, last time when I reared fish when I was small. I used to have plants living in the small aquarium where my small fish was eating on the roots.

Maybe something like this? http://www.tropica.com/images/uploads/Akvarel/024.jpg

I remembered I didn't have to feed the fish at all, for like months? Because the fish would eat off the roots. Any idea what is it and is it recommended?

if you doubt that you can keep this hobby for long period, why not get a second hand unit from other member?
one feet tank should cost around rm50 for one full set of equipments.
