FISHIOLOGY

This was a project I did back in 2014 and I've decided to compile it into this blog. My daughter's first turtle vivarium with waterfalls. Took me a whole week to set this up. But the excitement on her face was really worth it. Cut and stick polystyrene with silicon glue to your liking Colored Grout After a few layered of colored grout   Back wall and pump cover Silicone to the back of your tank as you know polystyrene are extremely buoyant  Apply silicone on the cover and sprinkle sand to cover  Pump and filtration hidden below

I'm sharing this article about an experiment I did back in April 2015 Today is sharing time how to maximise lap, endli and Ansorgii marking without using red garnet sand. When I first bought the lap, the moment the fish entered my tank I felt like returning the fish back, fish was thin n colorless. But Kitty Lai told me to take the lap challenge so I did. And after fumbling for a month alas I found a way to turn on the marking n color. The solution RLT - Red Light Treatment, use LED lighting those with multiple color adjustment. Formula - tank should be somewhat dark to begin with. Turn on the LED the rest of the day when u off yr tank light. My main tank light is on for 6hrs a day tat means my LED is on 18hrs a day. Set yr LED to the red mode and lowest brightness setting. The idea is when the red LED shine on the bottom it mimics the garnet red sand. I got this result in just 7 days. I presume this formula works for PBB too the contrast for my endli improved too. I

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

3 months after I added kangkung to my filtration. They grew like crazy I didnt realized how rampant they grew until my downstairs neighbor gave me a sound. I would say the best NO3 extractor. NO3 reading stands at 0ppm. Water spinach can grow 6" stem in 24hrs. That is F1 in plant world. To topped it off you also get flowers lol. After the complained only did i realized 0ppm NO3 Kangkung flower, first time I see.

Found some pictures of my previous batch of wild caught Channa Marulioides from Sg. Dusun tributary. If ever I've the chance I will look for this specimen again. They have an orangy tint which is very nice.

This is a cb var Terengannu Marulioides that I once bought for RM25, dont think Terengganu has no cb. I sold the fish when it was around 10" because it had no potential. 

I've ran out of tank and the micro had nowhere to go, so I've decided to try and comm them both. The borneo challenged the micro the moment it hit the tank but I've to intervened and scared the Borneo to behave. 2 days later with a very unhappy Borneo its color turned dark in protest. Marulioides are never good in a comm tank. Borneo challenged the Micro Borneo turned dark in protest
