Keeping it alone?

Pearlies price getting cheap now. U can go for big size rightaway. Expect wild attitude fish, it may not be calm as other MG aroawanas breed.

Just finished moving my 5' aquarium today. Feeling very tired, trying multiple choices of filtration somemore.

I dont like that sump filter made so much noise, cuz now tank is situated in living room. So i changed to cannister, to realize that the hose set couldnt fit the tank's size (i used it for another tank before). Finally i resorted to top filter, with only 11 watt powerhead.
Now my aquarium very very quiet, but the water circulation is also weak, quite. Later will make further adjustments. Extra time needed.

Will upload pics later, as now still waiting for stronger internet connection. Streamyx installation due on sunday.

I just wait for 6-7 hours, then put fish rightaway. Dont have the heart to let them suffer any longer in plastic container.

All of them, Aragorn, Franky & ornate doing well. Even a goldy which acted as test unit survives till now. Still havent start feeding anyway. Wait till tomorrow.

Moving a 5 footer is a really painful experience. Now i had it twice, just as painful as 1st experience.

Still have turtle tank to bring in. I plan to place that outside in the backyard. Hope everything goes well..

Nahh.. we dont move places every month or year. Just when we have to move, its very tiring.

But u can always hire skilled manpower, many lfs in klang valley have that service. And they usually experienced enuf so u can just rely on them. Here in my place things are quite different.

Me too i always think that a 6 footer is a better choice, with metal stand for better mobility. But nothing beats wood cabinet in term of value & looks. If i plan to place my tank outdoor, metal stand is quite ok, i think. But have to be under shade to prevent algae. A lot easier to work on ur tank outdoor kan.. x perlu nak risau psl karpet n all.

Beauty is in the eye of beholder. For me yes, pearlies also beautiful.

Now for sharing.

How big was urs? Did he end up being sold off? The problem with endlies is that theyre too passive, ppl easily get bored with.

That day the colour and markings had faded a lot, maybe because from the transfer stress. Now gradually getting back to normal.

So quiet nowadays..

Just finished setting up Fly's tank in the backyard. Still not done the finishing touch thou, but he's doing great by far, thats more important for now.

Uploaded some pics here : https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...620&p=62670634&

Thanks. I think he likes the sunlight, as its not very hot in the evening. The tank is under shelter, only after 5 pm the sunlight touches the tank area, but still, indirectly. So it seems just great for them.

Cichlids can be great fun too. Reserved for future projects, i still have empty tanks

Hey Ben, great to have u posting again. I lost few of powerhead pumps as well, to my turtle. U may go for cannister filter bro.


Hi genie, pls update us with ur tanks, last time i heard u wanna get an arowana rite?

So quiet now.. Me too i havent done anything to improve my tank actually, but i'm posting current pics anyway :

Thanks for sharing. The pics ignited some spark inside me, but sadly i dont hv much leisure time for now, sadly sadly sadly

U still have another in stock? Barang baik kongsi2 la bro..

Alamak rugi rugi.. next time dont forget me lah.. kenangi daku dalam doamu LOL

No lah, got no more room for new fish. But decorations can fit well even in garden, and can use them anytime when running new project/ tanks.

Beer8bottles, ur aquarium 8' in size, rite? U place it outdoor, any UV staffs in operation? How do u preserve the wood cabinet from the weather? Sorry i'm asking too much, been thinking of moving my aquarium outdoor as well, but have to consider things.

Cant wait till u show them all. I'll be waiting, anything shared would be much appreciated.

Hey long time no see u lah. What happens to ur cichlids? Anything to share? I'm getting itchy to fill up another tank for cichlid, but hv to hold myself, considering my limited time now. But u know i cant hold it forever, finally the wall of defense will crumble LOL

I dont trust u with money and time, starting another project rite?

Maybe oscars this time? Theyre easy to comm with other fishes, and also quite a sports fish to play with.

Hehe.. no lah.. not treacherous as u lar

I dont have oscars now, but i used to hv them during childhood. Or the question was indeed.. a trap? Not really a good try then LOL
