How big is your tank? Get rid of bba i suggest SAE and Yamato, I believe snail only will clean them when there is nothing else for them to eat like my tank. My tank is super clean now and BBA is getting lesser. I have 2 SAE, 8 nerite and 4 horned nerite snails, they doing really well inside my shrimp tank and poo a lot too

Do not over load the snails as they poo too much and pollute your water unless you do frequet WC. I do WC once every 3-4days

-kytz-: planted aquarium is all about patience... there is no short cut. why now just give it a slow month to build up, even the plants need 1-2 month to spread nicely.

Haha actually wanna ask any other suggestions to speed up bacteria build up in the tank. Because I might plan to cycle using some fish

kimimaro_kun mine is definitely rm30. if rm22 per liter... i think they chop u up real nicely.... btw, we're talking about co2 ya? others refill more cheaper in kl right?!

kytz : get some cheap guppy/molly fish. those at pasar pagi rm3 per bag of 5-10 fishes will do it just fine. even if they die also, they are sacrificed for the greater good.

or put in some ghost shrimps. rm2 scoop can also fill up a lot of space already...

my lfs with rm1 i get 20+- ghost shrimp. if i take rm2 i think they will fight and eat each other

anyone tried to set up their tank like this?
im currently planning one like this ...
*sorry for my terrible drawing >.<


and idea what plant should i use? prefer plants that have long and widely spread roots ...
will be creating a hanging "tray' with holes to put/plant my plants ...

duckweed? kiambang? (dunno wat its called in english)

i think he wants a floating island....

Hehe just wanna share my aquarium thats super duper old and was dying but revived by bro kiminha's dry fertlizers


Attached thumbnail(s)

if only using hanging tray and the root middle of the water, im afraid they will lack of nutrient. but depent on the plant. if still wanna do that, maybe the water must be in slow current. just like duckweed or any floating plants nature. if not, the root cant catch the nutrient

u r right bro , from start till all become natural min need take 6 months

very nice . all the plants grow nice

True there is no short cut bro...

Long time to grow especially HC!

yes . no matter what plants all need some times to grow

nice! seems like the riccia needs a trim d hehehe...

one shot trim untill almost botak , than let them grow

haha thanks, ur riccia damn hardy! I like!

dont mention , what i wish is all the aquatics planted tank lover can get their plants with a good price. thats y i sell plants

where is the LIKE buttonnnn!!! niceeee!

i tried to revive my HC many times, but still the same look from 1month ago. do they really grow that slow? and sensitive? if touch touch touch, they start dying @.@... and deric79k, what other alternative low/short growing plant can recommend?
