It's a long over-due post, sorry! I've been caught up with stuff and unfortunately this blog took a secondary priority :) Also, my tank has been swarmed by all sorts of algaes! I've got pre-dominantly staghorns, green and blackbeards all over my tank. Even with up-ping the co2 dosage didn't even put a dent in its growth! All this i think may be 'cause by the past few weeks really hot weather, water temperature was really high... alas, the problem with setting an aquatic tank outside one's home. Well, lesson learnt!
So i've been thus looking for a bunch of nerites. SLS didn't have stock and other big fishshops were also short! Made a trip to 88 petsmart to also check it out.
Oh and i've read somewhere that some pond snails are actually nerites....ehh?! Well, time to go snail hunting again!!
They've got quite a good aquascaped setup and most stuff required can be purchased there. Nerite's not really a familiar name and i ended up asking for snails that eats algaes :P Which works and i realise most people knows them as algae-eating snails! RM3.50's the approx. normal price too.
Battalions of SAE awaiting taking flight and coming to an aquarium near you!
Don't you just love a tank with cherry shrimps... lots of them too :)
This looks a bit alternative though...like the idea about bricks by James Maslin, brilliantly beautiful...anyone? :) lol!
Seeing these tanks, makes me wonder if i shoulda listen to convention and kept my tank indoor.... ergh! I need to update the newer tank pics to explain how bad it's gotten! Good thing about having a algae production centre is that you'd get unlimited amounts of good green chlorophyll with loads of fiber, great stuffs to add to your cichlids diet! I've been taking chunks of it and feeding my other cichlid tank and they've happily gulped it down :) None has died as yet though :P lol...afterall, cichlids are supposedly omnivours and would usually scavage and eat plant matter in their natural environment. Maybe i've ultimately killed some of them because of a heavy meat diet throughout... so, let's see how this goes!
This is the terranium setup... love the misting. They've also got a few terranium tanks that you can purchase if you're into them. I did enquire and they do custom size tanks upon your request. a 6feet monster, could cost you approx RM600. Not too bad, considering I purchase my 4.5feet 5 years ago, a RM350.
Lastly, was tempted to purchase this lil' clump of anubias. Considering i've got a algae plague, it'd be a waste of money till i get everything sorted out...
Obviously, i don't need to mention what they'd have and all, especially since i've got a URL that u can check out with contacts and other details :) Yes, i am dat lazy! Oh yeah, anyone wanna start a fish business should go check out this offer!
