FISHIOLOGY

The orangy scales are more pronounced and the base color is with a reddish tinge.

Possibly I manage to crack the black bar flowers, I can see they just started blooming, need more work on this. I repeat what I did 2 months ago when the fish was black color at PH4, I raised the PH to 7 in 2 days and started intensive tanning. The flowers bloom in 1 weeks time. This round I slowly dropped the PH to 4.5 and raised it to PH7 in 2 days time and did the same as previously and again I see very fast progress and this time I manage to start blooming the black band flowers. Its not fully form but as you can see it started eating on the scale edge and the fish can't change colors on those areas, they remain light grey. 13 May Notice the black band all begin blooming

As mentioned previously, Astaxanthin is an important diet supplement for your marulioides. They somehow brings out the flowers, your fish shows superb pattern and colors. Astaxanthin is the king of caratenoid, the most potent of them all. There are 3 ways u can deliver Astaxanthin suppliment to your fishes. 1st gutload to guppies or ghostshrimps then feed within 10 minutes. 2.make yr own pellet and add in the powdered astaxanthin. 3. Inject into the feeder fish (dead) I inject them into seluang b4 feeding my maru. 

When I've first heard of the kelakai rumours, I thought it was strange and I did some research. Turns out I stumbled upon some rather interesting facts about this simple plant. It was food for the local people and traditionally it has medication or more like tonic properties. Kelakai is Stenochlaena palustris. Many studies had been done and from these data there are something I found that it could all be possibly to the kelakai theory. The test of Red kelakai shows 20x more content of anthocyanins as to the green kelakai. Anthocyanins is a natural colorant responsible for the red, purple and orange in plants. At low PH it will stabilized at the red hue. Of how do we administer this, well I've no idea. I tried gut load to ghost shrimp and they seem to have no interest of the fronds. For the time being I've soak the dried Red Kelakai to the water. From 2 of the experiment I did at PH4 the fish glows with a maroon hue. The fish then was around 7" and too small to ...

Kangkung for yr sump tank and why haven't I thought of that before? They're like indestructible and you don't even need substrate. In 1 days time they grow like 7", with this speed they are a Nitrate monster muncher. I did not even plant this into the substrate

For unknown reason fish turn white lol Size: 9inch Channa marulioides var kalimantan

Tanning progress update, almost all the scale edges is now white, 90%. This is crazy, I've never seen flowers like these. Can this finally evolved into full flowers? I don't know we shall see.
