hmm.. i never heard anyone mentioning bout thIs in any forum.. but i will do some research c whether its true or Not.. but then again.. just out of curiousity.. if perut buncit can cause backbone problem.. then how bout whales? lol.. those humpback whales must been eating alot when small until humpback.. just kiddin.. feeling a bit naughty tonite..

IMHO,Just let the fish eats till it gets statisfied.

so so sorry to hear tat may it RIP, nvm, time to get a red.......sometimes the pump really coz problem...wats type/brand of filter u r using??

SPEED SP- 7800
or maybe i feed it with redworms (freezed), after few hours it became crazy (try jumping out of the tank).
firstly, i thought it try to chase the small fish.
then, i saw it has become hurting itself.
i finally put my finger into the water & feel that there's electricity from the water.

i was frighten, i then change 15% of the water & put aquarium salt (hope to calm it down)
who knows, it became weaker (faint)
.......died

saif, I like your RTG. Very nice.

Thanks man. This RTG is really manja one.

bro... me too having this problem before where my pump wire leaking and cause shock to my fish. my 2 cents.. go for better pump (cause u more bucks) and ur fish is more safety....

Saif,
How many tanks do u have? Lots of space u got to keep lot of tanks.
Where u bought your RTG & Red Saif?

P/s: Sorry for the lost Saif. Manu! Manu! Smash & Grab!

Huhu.. Sad for the lost

Got 3 tanks. 2 tanks of 4x1.5x1.5 (which place my red and freshwater fish) and 1 cabinet tank 5x2x2 (home of RTG).

That RTG I bought from a lfs near my house and the Red is from Xian Leng Shah Alam.

I'm thinking of get rid off my freshwater fish and go for another aro. My freshwater fish collection:

2 x Lampam ekor merah
2 x Lampam putih
2 x Tengas
2 x Kelah Hijau
5 x Silver Shark
5 x Golden Kelah
1 x Kaloi Sabah

Wow, only rich person can rear this kind of pets. Habis pocket money if i rear it. But i love arowana, slow movement and look fierce, especially i like to see the Arowana eat small fish....deng deng deng..."am"....habis small fish

saif...if u gonna get rid of ya fresh water fish....post them la..maybe here goy buyer hahahhaha u never know...
