how to get rid of BBA n whats the causes of it? over light?

that day i purposely on my lights for 10 hours for 3days..till not gt algae on glass..otto got food dy ^^

Still doesnt work. I want to open the top cover to check out but affraid Will be cuse as the problem..

mainly causes by unstable & exceed Co2... introduce some SAE will definitely help.

Yay got myself a pair of yamato shrimp. The look so cute scavenging in between plants for food

why you purposely create algae just for otto yah?
you can just put boiled timun for it right? << my otto and cherries like it so much

since it is so new then better dont take the risk. just return it to get replacement ba.

yup, you are right, as i am using DIY co2. i just donated some of my SAE to my friends cause they always make my carpet floats.

^ i boiled it till it become soft, maybe a few minutes in boiling water. why do you need to boil/blanched it?
i guess its for the timun to stop floating ...instead will submerge on the bottom, easier for the bottom dwellers to feast hehe.
i took it out after 2 days usually, but nowadays, i just left there, in 3 days, all clean thanks to the habitants inside the tanks lol

oh i see...then now i wonder my cute ottos deserve normal cucumber or japanese cucumber ^^ Thanks LuQee for your info~!

Fruitful info to me...tomorrow buy timun for my cute otto..if they dont eat, i will use tweezer to piak their butt and tweeze ur neck then..muah ha ha ha

i use zuccini
since i like them more than normal cucumbers lol..

about close to 2 month

even from tap water having the same reading

tomorrow trial cut 1/4 let them eat..if not, i will post it to Luqee house

^1/4 from the whole timun? walao so many~
i just gave them a 1cm thickness slice only..lol

timun need to boil how long?

Luqee,

i saw in v7 of the thread, some one cut the timun to half n put the half stick in the tank lo...hahaha..

need to slice out the skin of timun right?

yes...balance keep in fridge and i can use it as cucumber spa to my face at night~!


tengkiu otto..win win situation

anybody know where to buy cheap driftwood in kl? EA at midvalley sell damn expensive oo...rm40 for small one only

edit :- demit...last night my cory swims up and down my tank's wall...today the cory settles down n now its my oto's turn to swim up and down my tank's wall..>_< is there something wrong with them?

@kurangak,

pi gather/collect/cari sendiri kat rimba / waterfall / fountain area...Tu semuanye percuma...

like that hav to wait for a long time la...huhhuu...

i think bro sisaiko have them...
my so-called driftwood(actually rotten wood lol) i got them near tepi jalan(MPSJ cut the trees), then chop of the busuk partition, then sand paper it and cut to my liking, dip in the sungai for a week(or the jamban water container). lol


@gorillaz_113, i boiled them in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, or till the outside are soft and they can sink in water~

@cute_miao, i dont, since i boiled them, they are soft, and after 1 day soaked in aquarium, they started to get mushy, and ottos dont care about them...
dunno if thats right..

^i got this tips from the 3 sifus here, ciohbu, weijie and sisaiko before lol..

btw, dunno bout you all, but i crushed my sinking pallets into tiny dust form and rub rub and stuffed it inside the blanched timun..
took me a week till the otto starts to eat sinking pallets
so now i just feed my ottos and other herbivours/omnivours boiled cucumber/zuccini , boiled lettuce and sinking pallets in repetitive order lol
save me alot of money then buying those lfs branded foods and its more natural this way, i guess

Go to those small kedai ikan lo, sure u can find cheap driftwood. But don't expect real awesome piece of wood. Some might carry really nice ones. Its all about hunting here and there if you want it cheap

Boss ni lebih dasyhat dari me la ..i aimed for rimba/waterfall area..this boss sure take leave in office when MPSJ cut the trees . Than i can imagine u would tell them that you are willingly to offer them a hand in handling the parts..hahahaha
