i feed them feeder fish like twice or 3 times per week.rm5 per feed and they finish it overnight.by them i mean 11bichirs, aro, 5 cichlids and 2 tigers. Damn overstocked T_T

breed your senegalus!
*
Back in 2005, my senegalus pair did breed. I had 2 pairs actually. I kept them in a small pond with community fish like platies and neon tetras. They were on pellets, so the smaller fish were safe. I found a few babies. I transferred about 7 into a smaller tank. Tried feeding them baby guppies. After a while they just died off. Not sure why. hmm.gif

The female jumped out during transportation in around 2008, and the other pair jumped out later on (my dad left the tank cover open cry.gif ) So only left the male.

The newer senegalus is a bit short and stumpy compared the elder one ( the male). I'm not sure if it was the same species. Will snap a picture when I do the next water change. Hopefully I bought a female. I was a bit difficult to tell coz the shop aquarium was a bit crowded.

I am keeping them with two soon hocks. They grow so, so slowly.

I was thinking of letting them all go and trying discus. drool.gif The colours are so beautiful.

Tade tade.. wa tarak potong line member punya tongue.gif

Today i fed Napolean Bonaparte Aragorn with 2 bullfrogs, 5 crickets, a hopper and a spider (so i slaughtered mr. spiderman again!)

I wont kill anything for fun, but i would kill spiders and centipedes anyway as they may harm my family. And they become food to my pets as well, so the killing is well justified.. kan?

Snapped a pic before it becomes meal :

I really hate spiders before.. even cant stand looking at them crawling. Now ive pretty much overcome that fear.. if not entirely that is.. haha biggrin.gif

WTF?! shocking.gif OMG, so crazy!

I will spray it with Ridsect till the bottle is empty and get another one and spray it again.

The bullfrog picture no problem. But this is creepy.

Hahahhaa... I hate spiders...

How lah, u so far away. In Ipoh/Kampar rite? Got sister in-law teaching there in UTAR, but dont think she will be of any help.

Buy junior oscars also can, considering i still hv lots of space now biggrin.gif

BTW bichir takers are still welcome. But have to be a monsterkeeper with ample space and sufficient experience. And also must be able to self pick-up, strictly.

I want, but no space...

who wants my oscar?
Strictly for loving yet ganas monsterkeepers.. like me.

Why is everyone giving away their fishes? New year resolution is it? tongue.gif

Actually, I too feel like giving away my senegalus. But 13 years taking care of it, kinda feel bad for the fish.

*update of angel tank. All 4 bettas and 2 angels come out of their hiding spots as i came back from work. All of them recognise me well already laugh.gif

Because I saw your angel tank I was tertarik to get angel fish. Now the angel fish ate up all the baby guppies. vmad.gif Only left the adult and sub-adults. More than 20 babies gone! OMG. I want to feed them to my aba-aba.

How are your angels? Why mine like devils?




I've tried to breed longkang fish in this water tank. It was used to store rain water (Because of that water cut in Selangor that day).
user posted image

It was okay on the first two days. Only a few died.

And then that night....

It rained.

And the next morning every single longakang fish died. cry.gif

I think it is acid rain. So sad.

Will try again with pipe water the next time.

LuQEE is making us feel bad with all the tank pictures. Water so clean, even have REAL plants inside. Makes our tanks looks so sad. tongue.gif

Is that a Mayan cichlid I see? Nice!


OMG! HOW YOU KNOW I WILL CONTACT HIM? biggrin.gif
Hahahahah, but currently there is no suitable space to set up a tank. So it may have to wait.
And I am looking for elephantnose fish. Help me to find. smile.gif



QUOTE(antzz @ Jan 9 2014, 10:16 PM)
Luqee, if u found the fish please dont tell her la. Later she will brag to us like no tomorrow punya..
U so blind one la.. how can a guy so handsome be blamed this way.. wink.gif 
U should get normal angels with nice stripes, not black angels. Drillz for illustration, NOT for poisoning purpose  cool2.gif

Both of my angels doing very well, always kissing the most passionate way (with sounds, u heard them in the vid). The black tetras? Yeah i dumped them into predator's tank because they behaved bad.

Lol, so ur angels ate all ur baby guppies laugh.gif
Why dont just cover the tank? Better luck next time.

Sharing is caring, okay. wub.gif

What do you mean bragging? Whose pictures of arowana is all over the forum? whistling.gif You tell me now.

Yeah, should have gotten white colour angels. Looks better. Dammit.



QUOTE(genielee_83 @ Jan 10 2014, 07:43 AM)
now am breeding guppies in my two feet tank , outside the house, under shade.
The small female i got from LFS are now big females ( still consider small compare those in Hatyai)
Never fed them. Just give them aquatic plants ( decom my planted tank last last year), then let them do their things.
Will drop a few new batch on a quarterly year basis.
*
Please share the updates. smile.gif
I'll have to retry next week... Have to find a better spot to put the tank.

I have a UV sterilizer. Other than that I cover the tank with an old bed sheet in the morning and noon. I only open it in the late evening around 6pm.
Brown algae does grow on the glass though. Such a pain to clean. Every week I need to climb up a ladder to brush it off. I should get one of those magnetic cleaners.

For those interested in cichlids, this compatability chart may help.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Notice how Oscars do not have any Green indicator at all! Not even generally compatible to their own kind laugh.gif

I havent name my oscar yet, thinking for a crazy-frenzy sort of name but havent found one yet. For now i have Aragorn, Frankenstein, Emrys (Ornate), Fly, Casper & Genie.

Next month someone is coming to buy Franky.. hopefully he will be well-taken care of. And happier in his new home sad.gif

That chart explains why all my baby guppies were eaten....

I've just moved all the angels into the lungfish tank. Let's see how long they'll survive. brows.gif

Do the java fern need a CO2 tank to grow? Or do you just let them grow by themselves.

Genie, why do you keep poisoning us? unsure.gif

My dad just got someone to remove all the extra 3 ft tanks while we were at work (I think there were 4 of them, including my brother's tanks).
So, it is a sad week. Cannot simply purchase fishes at a whim anymore. sad.gif

My dear, i got it from a fb group of ikan air tawar. the platinum aro is rm5k.
It's like my 2 months pay. NOT gonna spend that much on a fish, but rather on my home furnishing.
But my dear sisters ( semua ni), when house warming ..you guys share the rm5k budget and get me a plati aro as gift laugh.gif

shocking.gif Wow....I thought Arowanas with no colour was cheap.... Okay. You have cured me. No longer poisoned.
I would spend part of the 5K on a sashimi buffet brows.gif

Why is it like there is an udang karang behind the batu?

First frog: Asian painted frog. Love that fat amphibian. Used to keep a few.

Second frog: OMFG! That is by far the grossest thing you have posted here.
