anyone see the thermoelectric chiller sell at any shop around kl?
can you please tell me where.

desperately need the chiller for my 36cm nano planted shrimp tank.

dont need big chiller though

CAE really nasty fish and very territory altho i find them funny.... i owned 3 before now left with 1 (age around 2+ years in different tank. Cant put inside my planted tank sure disaster). Eventually when it grow it will love those slime that covered ur fish. I have 1 huge CAE swimming lonely in 3 feet aquarium. Guess u know what happened in that tank 

As for me , CAE kinda awesome fish i ever had. Such mystery fish.

*duh forgot to mentioned, cae only targetting slow moving fish or maybe ur fish already sick IMO (poisoning/water condition/fish disease) cae very hardy and can endure water conditions that would be toxic to many other aquarium fish. I never see him hitting on my other fish last time (molly). Even dead fish on bottom my cae wont touch compared to those cae in LFS.

lol mine proly 6inch-7inch long kinda the size of 2 finger. he too damn shy hiding in his pirate ship. he loves to watch my cat sleeping next to tank.

Guess what

Bucephalandra. Just added over a month ago. Still waiting for the leaf to turn purple.

Panda Garra.

Yes, I have CO2 - injecting at 3bps.

Buceps can be planted either on a rock or into the substrate - but I opted to tied the buce to a rock, and partially bury the rock into the substrate.

Panda Garras are territorial - its nice to look at, but I regret adding this fella coz its always chasing the SAE. Would not recommend Panda Garras, but that's just me.

Hey, what Buce is that? Just want to compare notes because not many places are selling buce and its expensive - I bought mine during the Pets Wonderland fair at Mines, but also got some from Penang.

This buce I believe is Brownie Ghost.

can i know where you get this and the pricetag is?.

Just went for a week holiday and saw these creature lurking beneath the soil? Is this snail baby? I have apple snail in my tank. They swim quite fast and have tonnes of them, around 30 to 50....Gosh

Anyone spotted any shop carry lava rock in kl ?

Any recommendations for algaecide that is effective at removing BBA algae? It doesn't need to be shrimp safe, as I will be removing the plants, rock, wood, etc and soak it overnight in a bucket. Then rinse and put back into the tank.

I have Excel too. I heard its effective against BBA for spot treatments. But I don't want to do spot treatments, but just soak it overnight. Anyone knows the dose if you use Excel in a 5 liter bucket?

afaik, assasin snails do eat other snails but those bigger size snails i'm not sure.

its hard to breed assassin snails so you no need to worry about them breeding

i guess its too big for him

i once reset my tank just because of ramshorn snails

the populate like sex maniac

Its ok. Got it from the NS guy. Better get from him as its a lot cheaper. Tied it on the tree 2 weeks ago and still got extra. So I tied the extras on a rock and they're still in the process of submersing.

About CO2. Since I bumped up the CO2, it totally eradicated all BBA in about 3-4 weeks. But the shrimps are affected - activity, feeding, and breeding, dropped a lot. So I have to set back the CO2 to its original settings. Will probably have small pockets of BBA again. Have to find that sweet spot.

Any advice on how to clean the diatom? They are like coated everywhere, even on the soil. Haha... No live stock at the moment. I think I will stop fert for now and only dose once or twice a week.. see how it goes.
