Sifu, very nice job leh, didn't know driftwood+moss in a small tank can be quite nice. Can I curi your aquascaping idea a bit?

Btw, what soil did you use? Java moss don't need CO2?

Thanks.

Btw, stupid question: does java moss need soil to grow?

Then you got soil there?

Oh see. Do they need CO2?

Thinking of getting java moss on a driftwood, maybe some plants for my betta tank. Might just put in some shrimps to keep my betta company

Trying to keep my future tank as simple as possible, with minimal work and costs

I have some spot green algae (?) on my tank wall, some patches of green stuff. Does Amano shrimp also eat this type of algae?

oh wtf 2 of my amano shrimps just disappeared without a trace. No body no nothing. I have 5 initially with 3 glofish.

I don't think the glofish ate the shrimps right?? Since I fed them once today. But the shrimps I didn't feed them any food....and also since yesterday night my entire tank is cleared of algae already. Cannibalism???

Mine is Iwugami setup

Mine damn noob lor



In real life looks nicer than the picture hahaha Btw all my shrimpy hiding behind the middle rock

Actually I think your previous aquascape using the driftwood is very nice lor

You can take a look here

2 of my shrimps really went missing liao. Totally can't find them. I checked my room everywhere can't find them. Or unless, cannibalism?

arrow Btw, I got myself some activated carbon today. I know it must be washed but the thing is I can keep on washing and washing, the carbon keep coming out and out? And recommended to place them inside the filter wool?

wtf. the shrimp I thought was dead suddenly appear out of nowhere. Hiding behind the rock looking at 2 shrimps humping

Giving away a bunch of glosso (in a cup)!!

Glossostigma - Foreground plant.



Make sure you have good lighting and good supply of CO2

Location in KL. PM me for further details. Thanks

Glosso will NOT survive without good supply of CO2.

Btw, your 24/7 lighting will definitely introduce hair algae (and with low CO2)

Bro, that Boraras brigittae can keep in my 2.5 gallon planted tank? Possible to get like 1 or 2 only? Or else can recommend other type of fish to accompany my amano shrimps

Cycled tank liao?

What are your ammonia/nitrite readings?

Btw, what method did you use to cycle?
