yes i was told but also the might eat my other fishes in the tank, so decided
against it, but mana tau, the meds were too strong, killed everything in sight
thanks anyways...

puffer is a carnivore le, dont mix with small fish.
mydelsol: ur tank only a few plants nia, need co2 meh?? later i post my here, no co2 one.
guys: my red guppies just delivered babies

Well let me tell you, I have given up trying to get rid of the snails! Those damn things just will not go away!! It came with some plants I got from a friend. The snails spread like crazy. At times, I have to just pick them out by turning over every single stone in my tank. That's the only way I am controlling it now.

I did buy a snail remover/killer solution but to no avail. When I get home, I'll post some pictures of the snail remover solution. If I can, I'll take some close up of what I think are snail eggs too if when I find them. Pesky little things. I know they provide benefits to a tank but boy... they produce too fast for my liking!


Get some plants that are tolerant to low CO2 then. Do a search on the Internet, you will find information on these. I still find that some CO2 will allow the plants to grow much stronger. I can tell a difference when I stopped providing CO2 in my tank.

Speaking of, after discussing diy CO2 here, I am going to start my CO2 production again. Bought my 'coca cola' 2liter bottle already. The only thing I am lacking is yeast which I'll get when I complete the setup. Will post some pictures when I finish with it.

Congratulations on the new guppy babies!

People wanna get rid of snails... but I want snails hahah.... coz they eat up my algea.

yes they are, dats why i decided against them, the pet shop i normally go to,
recommended a snail remover, but atlast, removed more then my snails, cialat
only, too much it killed eveything in my tank.....
jus bought more plants and a Co2 tank, sigh, sorry brothers coudlnt help it,
am weak when it comes to gadgets besides my wife paid the bill
hehehehehe....btw, congrats on the babies...

just bought a C02 tank last nite, with more plants and a piece of Java Moss,
will post pics during lunch time....cost me RM35/- wit a 1 1/2 mth supply
of C02....also bought some Neon Tetra's, (my son insisted on "I wan da brue
karer pish, prisss daddyyy....so nice wannnn)...siigghhhh.... wil post the pics
to later....

i've had several incidents of snail outbreaks. i've used two techniques and they both worked marvelously. first method was to put a slice of cucumber or lettuce. after 1 day snails will gather at the vegetable. take out the vegetable, remove the snails and put it back. this will take 1 week for you to remove all the snails

the second and most efficient way is to get a DWARF puffer. One is enough. i've never had any incident of it attacking my other fish. but make sure buy the DWARF puffer, not the bigger ones. Dwarf puffers themselves are even much much smaller than guppies or even neon tetras.

becareful what u wish for....i rather have a mud fish then snails...

dont think u really need them, its really bad, honestly....once kena
spread like wild fire...very hard to remove...

btw, these are the "new" pics of my tank after visiting the pet shop with the family lastnite:- bought 1x C02, 15x Neon Tetras, 1xJava Moss, 3 Female Guppies
and 3x Plants cost RM85/-, priceless

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing! After seeing your pics, I think I will add tetras to my tank too. Looking for some new additions. I like neon tetras but will visit the fish store to see if I like any other tetras.

my guppies did try to eat the foods....
but then after seconds they threw out all the foods from their mouth

the fish food is new....

ur fish food is as of wat kind? flakes is small and more suitable for guppies i wud say...

thanks, the place i go to, tmn megah in PJ is called My Pet World carries abt 3 types of Tetras, Blue, Green and Silver i think, blue is RM1/- Green at RM2/- forgot abt the silver price

dude, sometimes they are not "used" the to new envorinment, so give it a day
before feeding, or look at my pic above, am feeding them guppy food pellets,
rally tiny ones mixed with flakes, works well...

Yeah, feed flakes. Easier for the guppies to eat.


RB

cant see the pic clearly... how tiny is the food pellets?
like powder?

hehehe, i feed my guppies bloodworm, then the male more ummmhhh ma,
neon tetra better get bigger one, small one very easy to xxx one, the bigger the better i would say the black tetra is more "tahan" compare others tetras.
put some aqua plants in the tank to calm the guppies, they like plants.
just share info, correct me if wrong, peace

i also fed my fish with bloodworm...for me it is better than those fish food in the market coz it is natural ma

really really tiny the "biji" very small, fits exactly into the Guppy & Tetra mouths have never tried bloodworms,
as so far my guppies ok lar can "tahan" the pellets & falkes I hve been feeding them, so goes for the tetras, fast lil'buggers, sometimes "steal" food frm the guppies

firstly - you don't know how's their condition before you purchased, they could already be stressed silly already.

secondly - after purchase, how did you place them into your tank? did you just dump them in and on the lights straight away?
