Fish Paradise Centrepoint BU

This in my humble opinion really is one of the better/nicer, comfortable LFS specializing in aquatic plants. Being smack right in Centrepoint BU, one could do lunch and then go fish-a-shopping afterwards, that's what you call convenience! Did i mention, right beside the entrance to Fish Paradise is Mc'Ds?? Tea anyone? :P

As you approach the shop, you'd notice a hugely, nearly 5 feet plus aquarium that frames the entrance! This was the tank to gawk at last time, unfortunately, they've re-landscaped it, and its not as great; that being said... it's still spectacular to have a big tank as such in your living room, sheer bliss... *sigh* 

I really wonder how much that front tank woulda cost if this really small, 1 feet aquarium would cost RM350! Javaferns and christmass moss only woh!! Here are more planted tanks.

A really beautiful red discus... and an angel fish, in a planted tank :) 

They've got some really nice setup. And if i'm not mistaken they've been around quite a while, maybe from the beginning of the new wing of Centrepoint. Prices too are quite resonable, but obviously don't buy fishes in a aquascaped tank unless you're inclined to support them :) 


Does anyone know what's the name of this beautiful cousin of the swordplant?


By the way, does anyone notice the blue smallish lil' coloured thingie swimming around?! Engrossed was i with the plants, I did too notice the huge neon tetra school...ala the deep south american jungles,  a perfect biotope! What can i say, i'm in love with these tanks :P but i kinda love money more n won't wanna spend on metal-halide lamps, eheim filters, blinking expensive ikan billis :) lol... Maybe when the Good Lord blesses and the whole world isn't suffering famine and genocide, dang... did i wake up on the wrong side of the bed today or something?!

2feet Aquatic PTS 5.0 - *FAILED*

It's been months trying to find nerite snails to placate my algae problems. These days, I grow algaes it seems!! :P Thanks to the fact the our weather has been previously hot and the change in the sun's position... my tank has not been getting enough light at all! hence the bad bloom of algaes! Name 'em and i'd probably have them at this stage!! lol :P 

Even with extra CO2, insufficient light'd causes the glosso to reach for the sky! Notice the driftwood behind, they're all totally covered with staghorns and even the blackbeard's blooming!

Only thing stopping me from tearing the entire setup down is that unfortunately, i don't have the time and i'm also currently using this tank as a nursing bay for a cichlid suffering from intestinal problems! The other good thing about growing algaes, especially good healthy green staghorns is that i get to supplement my cichlids with greens! Omnivoures that they are, i'm hoping this would keep their diet on the healthier side...

And people ask me why I take photos of the aquarium at night... Obviously it's a mess, lol! Alas, till the sun comes back up proper, i'd have to make do... or tear the entire thing down again, sigh....
