Prepare for a large enclosure very soon. RTC grows quickly, and it eats like no tomorrow.

Can a piranha be commed with arowana & bichirs? How big is the size? Im just asking. I know the distance barrier.

Eating popcorn

Didnt know u have THREE silver arowanas?

Update of ur tank & the fishes

Does anyone know what type of fish can breed in small tank, beside small fishes and goldfish? Flowerhorns sound easy but still, i dont like the idea of 'artificial breeding'.

I dont know u have a pond, is it landed?

Sorry about the 3 aros. Surely the other 3 is well taken care of.

Dont tell me.. dont tell me.. all this while uve been cheating around with ur sexy pond without us knowing? This is horribly a betrayal, a great treachery!
How dare u do that lah!!

Haha

All of us dreaming of a pond, at least. In fact, GATF dude Genie has been lurking in DIY ponding for quite some time before, but still no news of any progress IRL. Dunno if she's been chaeting on us too..

Channa.. i dont like channas in general, dunno why.. But maybe will like them in future, who knows.


U.. u have a lungfish?!! How come i dunno that? Grr..

Well, maybe i'd consider to forgive u, if u can give me any of the tanks, or both, if it pleases u more

We dont see it that way. In fact, thats how we get along and develop affectionate relationship. Ala.. nak mesra sikit pun x boleh ke?

Ya lah.. u think i was serious about the tank? Grrr..

Yeah i still remember that Khairulanuar guy. He used to hv great collection esp of bichirs.

Good luck about that fish. Looks really strange, and also even stranger that no one can tell what fish it really is..

Cant wait to see ur setup of the new tank. Will it gonna be sexy and seditious?

I think i may just forgot about it la bro

About the weird sp,



I think it may be a variant of loach close to clown loach (Chromobotia macracanthus)

Can try searching for loach species here http://www.loaches.com/species-index/loach...ndex-front-page

And here got color-stripe variation pics http://www.loaches.com/articles/clown-loac...king-variations

The same with me. Suddenly feels like to switch for more drifftwoods but must avoid sharp points. Safety first

Yeah, safety first. u should have said 'lebih lembut lebih best'

Cool. But one thing for sure, we would very much like to see the inner side of the pond. Thats if not too much to ask, Mr.

Recently i'm looking for a longer top filter box, which can reach up to 4 feet long (or even a bit longer). I searched around few LFS here, but they dont have a filter box that size. Pls dont ask me to DIY, cuz i'm not into that now

Something like this, or just the usual blue top filter box

I'm in kota bharu. Not going to klang valley except for outstations, once in a while.

Congrats for the purchase. The tank looks great, thou it might be difficult to search for the perfect size cover. About filter, i just changed from

- Sump filter (Power 75w - 4500L/Hour), but turn to Top Filter system because this time i want a super quiet environment.
- Top filter (Minimum power only 11w). Quiet and enough to control bio-load in my tank, but i want more circulation of water.
- Top filter (50w - 3500L/Hour). Quiet and powerful (only i need a larger filter box to prolong media change, because now the wools become fast clogged due to heavy filtering job)

Sump filter


Old top filter spec, found in garage but still usable


New one




In my case, to control water quality is one thing, but to deal with noise is one other thing. Even small small thing matters, but the result worths all the difficulties, in the end.

I love it when my fishes getting stable and comfortable with new environment. Weeks ago i was a bit worried that Aragorn was being picky about food. Now i'm very happy that he seems to adapt very well with new place, filtering system and the whole setup. I can clearly see from his swimming posture and how he reacts to me everytime i come close. Tonite i feed him 11 crickets and he's still begging for more







Sorry for the blurry images. Those snaps were without aquarium light.

The grab-sucking style so amazing.. They even fed on dead fishes

Now that i have few days off from office, thinking to operate another tank. The old 2' tank has been collecting dust in store room for years. This time i wana consider a peaceful enclosure, maybe with few angelfishes and tetras.





The tank has 2 lamps, one has stopped working. U think i could easily get a replacement for this kind of lamp?

Not a bad idea. Do they comm well with angelfishes?

The reason with angels is that i missed them, esp when feeding time with dried worms. Love the sound when they suck the worms from the water surface, and the way they finished it all till their guts bloated. Lol.

Yeah, worth a try. If got problem afterwards, can just put the bully into predator's tank

About to finish setting up the mini enclosure, just filled with water this afternoon. All decos n stuff are from garage, nothing new so this project hardly costs any cent.









Just put 2 small goldies for test, just in case.

Overnight, so far both goldies doing good, swimming happily as they seem to be. Lazy to cycle the tank la
