hey, im not sure if it's left over fish food..
yes it sticks to the plant.
description wise, that thing is yellowish inside like cloudy yellow & covered with a clear layer look like clear jelly. LOL
just checked the aquarium, the yellow stuff is gone but there's still the 'clear jelly' hanging on the plant.

cant find a thread to identify fishes. so planted tank = small fishes = victims to possible answers. haha!
may i know what fishes are these? (5 pictures)
cherry barbs/golden barbs? red-black zebra danio/interbreed of glofish & zebra danio?

1st 2 pictures (the pink one with zebra stripes)



remaining pictures. (the orangey colour fishes with black stripe. there's 2 of them)




thank you in advanced guys and/or girls

haha.. my crayfish ate 2 amano shrimps, 2 neon tetras and 2 ottos few days ago
recently no signs of hunting form him yet.. haha
so far, these few fishes that i just bought (trying to find out what are the names) are quite fast so im not that worried yet.. lol

haha ya i know.. ottos are cute and so hard working... i was really sad when i found it's skull on the gravel.
i live in Subang Jaya.. hahaha.. prawns? i think lobster for suitable for this occasion.. haha!
btw, do you know the species name regarding the fish photos that i posted?

if i were you, i'd check the water's status. temp, ph and all those leceh stuff.
and check if all the things in your aquarium are 'fish safe'
maybe google about your plant.
or i'll just do massive water change.

thanks.. now i'll have to wait for the pink zebra stripe's name..

planted aquarium + cherry shrimp + otto - filter = possible?
read somewhere that apparently, if you do regular water changes (1/2 times a week), then you're fine without a filter..
is it true?

i've not seen any CRS / cherry shrimp (the cheaper rm2+ kind I think) / ghost shrimp / any other shrimps in that matter without a filter..

thanks but how about water flow? it's not a necessity?

actually im just wondering cause i read about it somewhere and was surprised that it lives without filter.
and yes, im interested in setting up an aquarium for shrimps that's why i was reading up.
but just a tiny one probably less than a one footer. probably nano..

so i was thinking that if they really dont need it, i'd be able to save cost and spend on supplements.
and also if no filter is really fine then why not right? less noise anyway..

Just want to have an aquarium to 'keep stock' of my ghost shrimps.
reason being that shops dont allow me to buy in small amounts.
at least 30 shrimps per purchase. and if i dump all in my crayfish's aquarium = over stock & messy
with that aquarium, i'd keep my ghost shrimp stock & add some cherry &/ sakura for some colors & education before proceeding to another tank with CRS

hmm if that's the case, i'll hang on to one species first then..
i dont mind spending on filter.
aint air bubble & filter 2 different things with 2 different functions?
wont there be a difference if i substitute filter with an air bubble?
hence im wondering if what the shrimp really needs is water current

thanks for your reply

exactly what i was thinking since i read that ppl keep shrimp in a filter-less aquarium..
spiked my curiosity..

owh... then it makes sense.. haha im using that type of filtration system for my crayfish..
planing to use Shirui sand since i have alot left..
thanks for explaining

just sharing,
so far I have kept fancy guppies, neons, cardinals, cherry barbs, danios, glolight all together in my planted aquarium without any deaths..
i realised that if i keep them in groups of at least 4 or 5, they'll be fine..
the only predator in my aquarium now is a Crayfish.. but i provide ghost shrimps for him to prey on. heh..

happy experimenting all..

enjoying the interesting shape DW from the 1st picture.

hey guys, i found out that there's these clear goo gel like stuff sticking to my suction cup that i use to place carpeted xmas moss to the side of my aquarium..

easily removed when i rub it out but i just want to know if it's harmful to my plants/fauna
and the cause of it as well..

thanks in advance guys

dont really have many shrimps now, 0 snails,
how can i avoid it?

jargons.. haha creep = salt creep?
i googled zerg but all i can find is zerg rush

how do i differentiate between christmass moss, spiky moss, peacock moss, taiwan moss etc?
they look almost alike..
with triangular formation leaves.
