get black or blue background...make the colour of the fish more contrast

btw, anyone have kept bucktooth tetra?
they have a piranha-vicous attitude
a mini piranha from my point of view
well, if you cant afford a real schooling piranhas and powerful filter+large tank

Add some gravel too. Bottom looks so bare. And cold. And shiny. And cold.


I'm planning to start a tank like this too. My dad recommended neon tetras (because that's the only fish he likes).
I was thinking of getting killifish.

Yeah.. told u gonna work on richer base.. LATER (hehe.. lazy one's favourite word). Spending nite in hotel, missing my new fishes already). I really really like how they swarm towards me as i approach the tank. And i just kept them for only 2-3 days!
Now i feed them 2 types of food. Frozen dried bloodworms and micro pellets. Should try other types LATER

Okay.. so destiny writes that LATER finally means today









Just used old stuffs from my garage and garden.

Any sturgeon lovers in the house? Some pics of Titan, my blind Amur. Been with me about 10-11 months now, from 4 inches to a foot long thus far.





4 inch Titan, on the left. Same tank minus the hideous background. The other sturgeon didn't make it. :-

Great comm tank. Very fat perch there, great-looking ornate, tiger and arowana! Awesome

tengkiu tengkiu! Actually was gonna say don't mind the puyus cause they're my dad's.can't put it anywhere else at the moment and they don't suit my taste at all lol.but freaking greedy and stuff themselves up till all became fatty.

so i went to a lfs earlier today and saw a 5x2x2 tank with so-labelled 'electronic control' for rm 2899 or something.size looks close to what i what, just wanna ask if its within the prices u guys see/saw nearby

Tank with cabinet stand? What material? Any other assecories? The size same with mine, (2008) priced 2500 including sump filtration system, some filter medias, bio-balls, piping, installation and delivery to my door. And also consultation.

Got pics of the tank?

Yup cabinet.but i did not ask further regarding what i'd get with it.i'll ask for everything u mentioned with the price tag they put

Guys, my aba-aba injured its mouth.

I noticed that it was behaving strange on Saturday evening, it wasn't swimming around the tank like usual. I thought that it was hungry, so I plopped in a catfish. It would chase after the catfish, corner it but then let it swim away. This has never happened before. It would normally just kill it on the spot.

On Sunday, the catfish was still there. On Monday, the catfish had eaten up the cleaner shrimps and has gotten fatter. The aba-aba seems to be leaving it alone.

I noticed that the aba-aba's mouth was slightly open, like it's saying "O". It's usually closed, and it has the smiling face appearance. Now, it just looks in pain. And there is also some whitish skin in its mouth.


Just now, I sat there observing it and it opened its mouth and shook its head violently to try and get rid of the skin in its mouth. I saw that its tongue was injured and there was blood on the inside of the bottom jaw.



Pictures:






















I don't know how this could have happen. It does like to move the sand about in the tank, but so far, for years, nothing like this has happened. And it usually eats up the catfish whole, so it can't be the spikes on the catfish.

The aba-aba seems to come close to the glass and lift its head for me to see the injury.


What should I do? Is there any treatment or something that I can do?


There aren't any fish vets that I know of.

I don't want it to die.

Wow.. sorry to hear that. Sounds like ur fish is quite in a situation. Could it be that the fish injured itself when trying to cath its prey? U know, the driftwood.. looks quite.. pointy

The reason why i dislike rock pointy decorations, is that i often see them make quick sudden movement when catching prey. They might hit sharp objects real hard.

But maybe thats just me.. me and my assumption. i hope ur aba-aba is not in serious injury anyway. I regret that i cannot offer any advise to ease the pain. Just, maybe have to rely on natural healing process..

Yeah, the driftwood looks rather pointy. But I don't think it's because of the wood. The wood has been in the tank for 2 - 3 weeks already.
It would only move the sand about with its mouth. I've thoroughly washed the sand and checked for bits of glass before I placed it into the tank.

Maybe it's the catfish. That stupid catfish.

I asked a few people and they said it would heal naturally.

I emailed Aquaria KLCC for advice too. I kinda panicked when I saw the blood.


Thanks for your response.

Hopefully it heals soon.

usually when we feed catfish, we cabut the pointy parts.
maybe u try lift ur aba-aba and see what the injury is more clearly.
Usually when treating injured fish, we lower the water level, more oxygen pump. Added some salt and yellow powder. WC a bit everyday because we dont on our filters. Cut back the feeding. See if it heals.

This pond so awesome



I wonder how to get thick glasses for pond construction. Any idea? And the cost..
