so, i will choose taiwan. coz more compact, more carpet effect

if u can collect all the mosses, it will be a lovely collection. love the crayfish video!

Today afternoon, 2 of my pearlscale goldfish died

RIP T_T

*waiting for sponsors* haha..

sorry for ur loss. must be the ammonia thingy...

Guys, where did you all buy the tanks. I went to several aqua shop but they only sell the whole package with filtration and soil.

most LFS now package it for easy start to the hobby. but some like pets88, xian leng and i believe our sisaiko bro got sell the tanks only.

Anyway, got a new filter today. Finally got a good one.

woah... tat is big.. really big!

u can fill up with more water until the surface skimmer is full(the part with a tube sticking upwards).

Haha, found it in an aquarium shoo nearby my house.

Is it okay if the water level touches the part where the filter outputs the filtered water (the part where it makes a "waterfall") ?

Btw guys, is it okay if I put some bio rings over here at the gap behind the filters? It's a mechanical filter btw..

Outflow same lvl as water height is ok. Bio ring can be put there else no where to put as the jeneca filter is slim type. I'm using one in my clam tank.

We have the same filter!

I put the bio ring onto my the other smaller filter together with the sponge like thing. That sponge like thing is supposed to house the bacteria from the bio ring or something right? At least that's what the salesperson told me. I also added in some live bacteria into the bio ring there..



Btw, I might just end up with an empty tank tomorrow Had 6 goldfish cramped up in a 3 gallon tank since Day 1. One by one started dying and now left with 2. One of the fish don't look good, keep wobbling around sideways and sometimes 360degrees

Sigh, blame it all on my inexperience. Just pray that both fish survive...

joining the same filter gang.. hahaha

wobbling sideways for goldfish means some buoyancy issue. they cannot balance themselves. could be overfeeding issue. best to feed them once a day with less qty. they dun starve so easily...

the bio rings anywhere inside the filter is good for housing additional bacteria.

Bro... Ur tank so small but u got 2 filters?

Whoa!

Ahh I see, I also read it could be due to water being too cold right? That's will make their swim bladder shrink or something?

Got an exact measure just now, 13"X 6.5"X 7.5" which is around 2.7 gallons or 10.7 Litres. Quite small right?

Reason why I got 2 filters was because when I had 6 goldfish, it seems that goldfish produce A LOT of waste and tons of ammonia into the water. The filter I was having (on the left in the pic) was horrible, so I was guessing it can't keep up with the rate of the fish are excreting those wastes. The water become quite cloudy also. I then got a 2nd filter, roughly about the same type but it's a biological filter type BUT it's so damn noisy and it's quite unbearable, so I'm not using it. And now it's the current one from Jeneca, and it's just awesome man.

Ya, my mistake to put in 6 pearlscale goldfish to start it off with

I do know the 1 inch of fish per gallon rule. So which means I can only keep three 1 inch sized fish?

This fish looks nice but it says minimum needs 20 gallons

Was also thinking to upgrade to a bigger tank I think my parents might kill me since I cannot even manage a small tank like this, what more a big tank? But LuQEE did mention it will be cheaper in the long run for a bigger tank

The sponge like thing act to filter out solid waste and house bacteria but capacity alot much lesser compare with bio-ring.
Your tank not cycled... high ammonia & nitrite will kill your fish. Keep dosing those Live bacteria daily, don't restock the dead goldfish,
the tank this size, 2 poo-maker(goldfish) is enough to turn it into septic tank.
