i used to keep this... just (forever alone) one shrimp... i keep it for a year+ in my old badly scape tank, from about 4mm to 40mm (with claw its 50mm) and due to stressed died 3 days after i did my new scape... and this shrimp is a big bully, always bully my otto (i think thats an otto?), from the pic, u can see its as big as my otto... and my otto loves to disturb it too... the otto loves to follow the shrimp from behind when the shrimp looking for food... follow follow follow... and everytime my light are on, the otto will go to the shrimp hiding place, and shake its tail there to bait the shrimp to come out to pinch it...... damn i miss the shrimp. i bet my otto miss the shrimp too.. (can see my otto less active ever since)



ok, back to my new scape tank... after the water clears after filling the water.... .



btw, the 2 piece sushi (small stone), actually, i plan to do like a japanese zen garden... but you know thing never goes according to plan haha...

a weel later


3 weeks later...


and finally got my new shrimps this morning, its from deric79k
but now i have no idea where is everyone hiding... -___- i setup too much hiding spot

im from sarawak >.<||| any pharmacy will have the infusion (IV drip) set, i got mine for rm5. yea, all in one. and a bottle and some superglue(skip silicon, not strong enough) and make the recipe half what the internet say, 1 cup super, 1/2 teaspoon of yeast, and a pinch of baking soda. fill the 1.5litre to 50%... then u test see the bubble ok or not (only after 1 hour only u start see bubble). if u wan more bubble, just mix another 500ml mix, 1 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon yeast.

okay okay i'll go to guardian on friday

demmit. i buy another 2 fish

1. guppy. orange color. rm1 only. cant resist
2. oto. i hope i buy the right oto. the LFS said its oto.

add guppy on planted can , but not really nice, bcoz it swim on high level near surface, not really nice

ya they like to be at the water surface.

not playing hide and seek around the plant like my tetra and shrimp

never mind, can put it elsewhere. just like the color

Wanna ask, how many kg of ADA soil do I need to do a 3 gallon planted tank? Let's just say cost the entire tank?

mine using only 1.5kg without slope at the back coz 3-6 gal tank is too small imho to make a slope

so rm12/kg. LFS not sell it in 0.5kg so i buy 2kg

i spend rm24 for the soil. if u can buy the power one, better take that as top soil. my LFS dont have

okok, as long happy

how many kg soil , it all depends of what kind of setup up u want , hard to adjust

hahaha my target is wanna buy 2ft or 3ft tank so i can put lot of tetra in there. love to see they move in school.

ps. ive see the yellow/orange fish with stripe like zebra danio, they named it as K2. what is the real name of that fish? did u know?

they very active to move in school. follow my finger movement

if compare 2ft with 3ft , i will suggest u buy3 ft tank ,
3ft tank can play many many type of scape , easy to maintain also

about the fish i really no idea, if u ask me about the plants , maybe i know

ok so i will target 3ft one
