My colleagues were sorting out a shipment of crabs and they came across this specimen:

Look carefully at its right claw, you can see a smaller set of claws growing out from the larger one!

Well, I wanted to save this specimen and rear it at home, but it was already too weak to be saved. Died on the way home...

RIP!

Eggs...

Wow.. been a long time since I updated this blog!~

Over the weekend, introduced some apple snails into my tank, and was surprised by this whole bunch of eggs on the tank lid when I got home from work!

I was at an aquarium store in the evening after work, and was looking for some aquatic snails for my tanks when the store owner told me that they did not stock them and other freshwater shrimps anymore as people had the tendency not to place back the air operated filters back into the tanks after they had caught them, resulting in massive losses.


Thus, the store stopped stocking them..

Sigh...

The result of inconsiderate hobbyists!

Holiday fishes

Just came back from my holiday, realised that the water in my tank has become much clearer!


Must be the effect of not over feeding...

My experience of using Seachem Prime as a water conditioner has certainly been good...
So I decided to buy a 2 litre bottle which costs me $58!

Pretty much looks like a regular bleach container, don't you think so?

Clown Loaches!

It just pondered upon me that the lunar zodiac animal for Lunar New Year 2010 happens to be the tiger...

Don't you think it would be auspicious to include fishes with tiger colouration / markings into your tank?

Anyway.. did some online research and found out that there are many other types of patterns that clown loaches have!!!

Amazing!! It makes me wanna go find all of them!
