The rules I think had always been there. Just that no enforcement. I dont think its something for us to worry about. Just take it like this, we know the reason why its banned, and since we practice our ethics of keeping fishes by actually not releasing them into lakes n rivers or whatnot, then we should be fine.

I think there should be an adoption centre for the fishes. Just like how PAWS / SPCA takes in cats, dogs, rabbits... etc.
I wouldn't mind volunteering.

Haha good idea. But first off we need tanks. And a lot of them. Lol.

maybe we just let one another switch fishes ( adopting) rather than renting a centre with thousand of tanks.
The letric and water bill can be very high.
Later a aba-aba adoption fee is 3x the market value.

Hey guys,

I noticed a lump on the lower jaw of my gar. Dunno if its a bruise or something, is it something to worry about?

All tanks covered at night

Hi, since this thread is somewhat dead, and I cant sleep, and im a fish freak, here is a chronological story of my channa tank.

First off, went to LFS to get some driftwoods and slow plants

Driftwoods:




Got my 3 x 1.5 x 1.5ft clear glass tank from amirolzaris for a bargain.

After initial lazy setup with only a java fern:



Using 2 filters, a top filter and a canister (SunSun). Top filter purely sponges, whereas canister with bio rings, aquaclay for the bacteria colony.

Since it was too boring, went back to the LFS and bought some more plants, java ferns and anubias. Also got some nirox almond leaves to have blackwater.



Left the tank for 12 days for a proper fishless cycle, and also for the bacteria colony to properly adapt.

Rounghly 2 weeks, after doing some research, apparently my lighting is not sufficient for the plants in the tank, plus the blackwater makes the light even harder to penetrate to the bottom.

Stumbled upon wei jie's planted tank thread here in LYN so contacted him for some plants n proper lighting. Got him a plant n ordered java moss 10cm x 10cm fro him. Lights put on hold for a few days as it costs quite a bomb, Aquazonic T5HO 24wx4tubes 2.0 ft.

Added new plant, Sagittaria Subulata (left)



After got the lights + java moss, voila:

Then starts the search for channa. Wanted bleheri but had that before. So after poisoning my mind on the species of dwarf snakeheads out there, decided on looking for a channa assam @ andrao. Asked Bluegrass Aquatics to source it out (thanks to fellow forumers on whatsapp group ), they have quite a few juvi's going for RM25 each. So ordered the healthiest male n female n had to wait for 2 days.

Upon arrival:

Supposedly Male


Female


Acclimitaze them for about 20 mins, then released them into their wilderness



After more thorough research, apparently they need a proper temp of at least 24C for them to really thrive. Current temp is at 29C, and on hot days can go up to 31C. So this is a big no-no. Asked Luqee for some DIY ideas and he proposed of putting 2 pc fans, DIY-ed connected to acdc adaptors.

After a day or two, i got the temp down to 24C average, overnight with the aircond on lowest recorded temp was 21.5C.

Then after a few days, due to my prompt LFS shopping instincts, bought some more plants.

The shrubs on the left:


Dunno whats this


No idea

After a week or so, the channas started to really blend in, with its diet mainly on sinking pellets and ghost shrimps:





And also due to the stable temp on the tank within its recommended range, their colors start to be more vibrant:









They've grown for about 1.5cm now after 3 weeks, and latest pic:
