Re: Planted Aquarium
I was pretty active in the early 20s in guppy club singapore. Back then was really very with water change for over 30 tanks big and small.. On top of that, the many tau huey containers used to house the fries.



Here is my old setup. It is a HDB concept housing 20 tanks. Then there are quarantine tanks and hospital tanks. Lol.







This went on for a few years and i joined my first competition and this was wat i got.







now that im old and lazy, no more fishes for me loh..

Re: Planted Aquarium
Last time I kept Oscar fishes. Like the look of the fish but very troublesome because had to feed them with prawn meat. My favourite fish shop was at Alexandra village and also like the one near Chinatown market.



Borrowed pic:





I don't keep fishes anymore but still go to fish shops once in a while to admire the fishes. :lol:
