no need soil/gravel.. they wont get much bigger than guppies, and are very shy fish..
you'll see them sucking away algaes on different surfaces most of the time.

anyway around kl got sell ar?
i see alot look like the pic u post, scare bought wrong lol

SAE grow very big at one point. Also i'm not sure they will leave the guppy fries alone if your guppies ever give birth. Best take Otto, as they tend to be around 1 inch plus and they are herbivore. This i tried before, even baby shrimp that is 1mm big won't be issue just the issue with otto is they like to dash like bullet when frightened which almost happen always...

SAE seems ok with fries, never seen them bothering my molly fries.. and yes they can grow up to 2 inches long. mine is very fat with rounded bellies because they were feasting on the fish food instead of algaes.

Good to hear that your SAE doing good then most don't. Because had bad experience with them and already ban them from my fish tank except if i'm planning to put them with much bigger fish.

hmm.. mine's being acting well, never bothered my guppies, goldfish, mollies and tetras in the same tank. only observe they'll chase among themselves, as in SAE chasing SAE. they may have mistaken the otos as one of them, and sometime tried to chase it, but the Otos will get out of the way without fuss..

Ya, SAE sure like to chase each other might be territory issue. Otos are escape artist I had lots of problem catching them even at bare aquarium... well, as long as your guppies live comfortably with SAE will be good. My only neighbour with guppies is cardinal, oto, and bumblebee goby. Do notice bumblebee goby can take fry but bumblebee goby are lazy. So not much problem for fry running away.

any 1 willing to donate some to me?

if some of you are having extra la...

as long big tail and cantik will do ad..

otto wont get wrong 1 la, very easy to find, unlike SAE and flying fox, they look 95% similar and very hard to differentiate...

yeah, otto is the best choice, SAE can be territorial and offensive when they grow big, they can even grow up to 6 inch...... so otto is way to go. you can also try adding apple snails, they do help eat a bit...

donation is a sensitive word to use in our country for now. hehe....
somemore still want cantik

donate cannot la, sell you cheap can la, then throw in some for you too. only if you are interested....

p/s: pure strain guppies... not longkang guppies....

ok can can.. let me find nice aquarium 1st..

Pm me PM me

rasbora not guppy wor.....

too bad............

just saying

mana tau u expand lol

what type of rasbora? can get from LFS easily what?
I'm still on just guppy and pleco and shrimps lo.... no other fishes also........

my guppies

topped up another 3 female and 2 male last month, total to 9

today found 1 old male dead but discovered new 3 baby about 2,3 mm hiding around the stones



Attached thumbnail(s)

it could have been a lot more. guppies normally doesn't give birth to a single digit number. 3 fry is really not normal, i suspect the remaining got eaten by the adult fishes.

suggest you to do selective breeding and raise the fry separately, that way, you will have a lot more guppies....

bad news, my guppies 8 now become 2

3 dead as water contaminated with fertilizer of plants

I suspect the rest either eaten by birds (my tank is outdoor, balcony) or lizards , cannot find the corpse
