I really like the strong markings on it how's the aro coping with him?hehe


salvini, fh, senegalus1


red oscar, senegalus2


delhezi, senegalus1 at 'bichirs corner' dunno why they really love that corner however i rearrange the ornaments there


the hensem baby IT under the driftwood


current setup in 3ft tank

bros n sister(s), happy new year! have a prosperous year ahead

woahhh big pleco there....

Aro and endli doing good. No conflicts by far.. Only, nothing seems at ease when Frankenstein ravages into hunting mode, even i have to wipe water splashing out of tank

Lovely collection of fishes u have there buddy

The polyps looking good, so are FH, IT, pleco (what sp of pleco is that?) and oscar. I wonder how FH coping with oscar, no conflicts?

Oh my. U guys have active endlis, u n jaychow mine is calm n relaxed. that pleco is the normal mps one. i got it at the same time as the jags.now roughly 7inches. yes initially the fh n salvini cant accept the oscar's presence. now oscar n fh swim side by side also, the salvini yang suka kacau oscar, and oscar fights back haha. the IT is the cutest(tiniest) in tank but still put up a fight when threatened by fh n salvini. really lives up to its name

this few days will take the jag from my friend. been busy recently...^

Faster finish jalan raya n go get them. Kind of miss them already

im also put my baby bichir wit oscar too...seem ok...,
how ever how bout put snail in tank to control algae...is that good idea???

Actually he's relaxed almost all the time. Only active at night when hunting. With big body & tail, he easily provokes chaos in the whole tank.. haha..

Dont want pleco cause it will suck on bichir?mine doesnt.but it has gone out of function now.nama je mps tp x clean algae pun.sebok makan sinking pellets.then poop everywhere.ikan mps making more crap than cleaning!

Mine the same! Haha. Btw the endli bigger thn aro?

Thats the point! Last time i put pleco, it rather eat the pellet thn cleaning and poop alot! Long2 samo. Haha.

Double top filtration system. I dont know whether its effective or not. Haha.


Attached thumbnail(s)

I know.. Also got plecos & other bottom suckers before, they eat a lot rather than doing cleaning job, if they doing any after all. If comming with slow-eating polyps, they'll finish most of the sinking pellets for themselves. Sometimes even faster than my turtle, which explains the speedy growth rate

Since then i never kept plecos anymore, thou i like zebra plecos very much. Maybe will consider later if planning to operate another tank.

Yerp, bigger. U can see from the pics that his length already reach about 1.5 times of the 1x1' floor tile, so the size must be longer than 15".

U should consider sump filtration for future plan. Trust me, its a lot more fun (but with quite a noise effect).

Tats y! Tey finish off the sinking pellets before my polys could even sense it. Haha. Do loaches also thesame? Haha. Wow. Then th endli can lie along the length of the tank only? The width can ar? How does a sump work? A biiger filter box and a more powerful pump?

can make DIY sump filter already if know how to arrange submersible pum to put

The width also can, so far la.. Cuz size of tank 5x2x2', Franky's length about 1.5'. Later i dunno la, maybe have to put in pond, if ever the pond large enough to house both endli and turtle :sweaty:

Plus the power of gravity and combination of size + design of output source. See below, 1st sketchup of my tank



*Oh BTW, there's another wall behind that output opening wall, to serve as overflow barrier. Haha.. forgot to sketch that up
