Get from Arrow ^^

Worried about plants with pesticides ?

well i always put them in a small glass jar with a bag of active charcoal overnight or 2.

if still worried I'll put a malayan into it to test, just one night and u can see how much one malayan can clean ( or poo ) esp when u place a plant with wood or wabikusa.

so far no shrimp was harmed till this day.

cheers

I tried feed my shrimps with fresh coconut. (the harder flesh)
so far 4 days already still see them munching on it getting thinner day by day.
what i like about it is it doesn't dirty the water (no fine particles) when they are eating it.
so far no adverse effect. all of them malayan, rili , frs doing good in separate tanks.

no wo, water no oil, my shrimp tank 1 month+ haven change water.
still crystal clear.

(too clean till BN pleco KO )

its fresh coconut. size about 50 cents (old coin) thickness about 2 coins. now its paper thin.

my setup is a fluval spec V, sealed the bottom filter hole, added thin dense wool like filter around the original filter (has a bag of carbon and bio media in the middle) for a snug fit, and above to cover it, bottom is ceramic balls, added a super fine SS mesh at top intake.

a SS tea mesh, used for ADA bacter ball. last time didnt use SS tea mesh, shirmps literally destroyed the ball in a day. ended up with cloudy water for 5 days or so.
now using mesh, much cleaner. even baby shrimps feeds on it. ball has been in there for about 1 month. now its powder like.


about the BN I thought the shrimp food and some algae on the glass will suffice.

my shrimp tank water change is 14 days
Sfsg

i placed some endlers , quite a number actually, 3 white tail, 3 scarlet and 2 wild endler into a tank with 8 cardinal and 4 CPD
end up with a dead fish every day, day 1 2 and 3 cardinal tetra, day 3-4 celestial pearl diano , (5 fishes gone)

Nice Fluval Chi 19L Version 1
Bonsai tree bought from penang ?

could you pm me the price thanks

christmas / spiky moss can be bought A4 size for about Rm20 at most places ^^

Ya ... I think that's the problem most of us is facing.. Need only abit.. But LFS don't sell that quantity

Lucky we have a good sharing community here in LYN

I cant say much from the comparison, as both is taken at different condition (pump location, its load, back ground sound level and distance to the mic).

I cant comment for the Hailea model (havent tried it)

but I have tried all the fluval ones. Q0.5 Q1 and Q2.

if you are looking for a silent pump from the fluval range Q2 is the only i can recommend, the two others are too noisy for me.
I got my self 3 Q2 at home. SFSG.

lol i use one Q2 on a 20 litre (Spec) tank, the other Q2 splits each into several nano tanks, the last Q2 waiting to be deployed ^^

Out of Fluval 3 tanks edge, spec and chi. (spec has the best design, i use it as a planted tank, with O2 and CO2 pumped into the back - post filter chamber, hidden from view)

Btw RRP for Q2 is Rm89.

anyone has more info on apae ula ?
i have them for about 7 months now. not breeding,
tank is slowly taken over by brown diatoms "

I got mine from him too, now they are in a 3L tank with a sponge filter, and lava rocks.
after i moved them to this new setup from a simple marina betta tank (plastic), have been troubled with brown diatoms.
even the live rock he gave me is being taken over by algae.

what do you feed them with ?


my salinity is about 1.010

brown diatoms ? - I dont know too

hermit crabs and horn snails can live in brakish water. -- lol i didnt know ^^

thanks, i use JBL sansibar black and SL-Aqua volcanic rocks (probably too much silica like you mentioned)


sunkist shrimp too ? (the orange shrimp) ?

nice setup !

OOo lol want to get hold of the crab ^^
dont you need to change the shell from time to time ?

lol i got some fresh water clams .. from river. quarantined them for while.

but i like to disturb them a bit once in awhile to see if they are still ailve.
(dig them up. they will dig in to the substrate again, they will dig to just above substrate open a slit to filter for food)
