FISHIOLOGY

Its been nearly 2 weeks since I got hold of the batch of baby Terengganus. The fries had grown a bit and seem stronger as compared to when they first arrived. 6 casualties so far due to stressed. Fries did not eat from day 1 and perished from lack of food.  Last year I was sold 5 baby Diplogramma from an unscrupulous trader (CG) with the same condition. Fish perish within a week. So beware of conman traders who do not quarantine their fish and out to make a quick buck. To make matter worse I did complain in a local snakehead group but unfortunately the admin backed the unscrupulous trader and booted me out from the group. I think that snakehead group is just a con group to fish newbies. Anyway I'm never a fan of groups who allows trading as it automatically kills off knowledge sharing. Back to our projects, I've split the fish into 3 groups:  Group A Group A is the biggest tank I can afford, PH4.9, 8 hours low output tanning light, 15 Tails. The fish will b

Some videos I've found of my previous Kalimantan during the low PH kelakai treatment. Initially I suspect if a variant of the Kalimantan will grow up to be the double line sp. Borneo. Why did I believe in such a thing? Because to date, we've not seen a baby sp. borneo double line. The experiment was to keep a baby kalimantan in very low PH with red kelakai (Stenochlaena palustris) tannin. I stumbled on the double line kalimantan for sale and this was the reason I kept the Kalimantan. Ok back to the experiment, The fish was kept at PH3.5-4.0 for nearly 2 months with dried red Kelakai tannin. The Kalimantan was very stressed at PH below 4.5. The fish was most time dark and the eyes was in black color mode. The flowers was disappearing fast the band was wide. The interesting thing with this experiment is the fish shows reddish tint and when flaring the fish is bright orange as you can see from the videos that I've found. When I stopped the experiment to saved the flowers
