    Yeah, i'm looking out for red variants too, hopefully can add some to the tank soon.

    The 2 yellow balls are freshwater golden clams.

    I got mine from a friend last year, managed to get a few rhizomes to slowly grow out over time.

    That i'm also not sure... all these different trade names flying about are really confusing, i mainly base my plant IDs on what the sellers label them as or closest ID from online photos.

    Until now i still have bucephalandra from separate batches that were labelled as the same variants, yet when kept in the same tank after a few months, they grow out and look different. I guess many times alot of the plants are given "best guess" labels.

    Mine had the roots partially buried in the sand with the rhizomes above the substrate, that seems to work well. Its more for aesthetics anyways (since its sand substrate), as in such setups the roots take in nutrients mostly from the water column.

    What fishes did you add in eventually and how is the clams doing? What do you feed the clams. Hope you can take some updated pic of this beautiful tank.

    I didn't keep this tank for long as the plants were eventually bought and traded with other hobbyists.

    As for the clams, i fed them with powdered foods (ie. crushed pellets and wafers) which i administer with a pipette near to their "intake" mouths. The longest i kept such clams in a tank was up to a year or so, but they didn't really grow much during that period. I guess our aquarium tanks are probably too "clean" for clams to sustain food intake to grow long term, unless they are constantly fed alot in a mature large tank.

    So is there any tanks on this forum that you still have running?

    It's been a while since i posted up new tank projects, all the ones posted here before have been changed to new setups a few times since.

    My latest setups are all very low maintenance tanks with mainly moss, nothing fancy. Currently i mostly just try keeping different types of fishes in community tanks. Not much time to maintain planted tanks nowadays.

    That's a pity, you got quite a few nice tanks on this forum.

    Sustainable tanks do have little algae, thus minimising the time needed to do maintainance than most planted tanks. Having the correct plant selection helps in the long run. Soil with high CEC (volcanic ash) instead of the popular Ada soil is more favoured, since ADA soil has been known to break down into mulm just under 12-14 months of use.


    Opposite to what UA is doing, I've stopped using traditional low maintenance, slow growers plants like moss, ferns, anubias in my tank. I've since replaced them with lower light requirements stem plants like wisteria, palustris, bacopa, etc, because in my opinion, it takes less time to cut, trim, uproot, propagate these plants than separating, tying and gluing moss, ferns or anubias to rocks and drift wood. Having lower light means the stem plants grow slower. I only trim them once during my monthly water change nowadays.

    That's a nice setup, may I where did you get your tank from or where can I find low-profile tanks in Singapore?

    You can find many sizes of low-profile tanks in Aquatic Avenue at Red Hill.
