    Now the light is supported on the 2 brace and the pony-tail guy need to raise his hand to lift one side of the light.. you probably guessed it.. the other end of the light went about 4-5 inches into the water .. water starts to gash into the light-holder flooding the end of the FL-tube.. I watch in horror and momentarily I froze, thinking I will see a electric-gold arowana.. luckily the pony-tail chap put the light back and water starts to flow back to the tank...
    Wooo... that's interesting, maybe I'll get the guy to show me again the next time I go down to Ben's



    .... just kidding

    i just went to Ben's today. Didn't see him around. Apparently he's out again.

    Just some updates:

    1. the planted tank seems to be doing well. not sure if they had rescaped it as i didn't see the state when the arowana was inside. but looks algae-free, so probably they redo the whole thing again.

    2. hermit crabs on sale. they put them on dry land. they look fine to me. got 4 pieces haa.. the guy who packed them for me also informed me that they are land hermits, can feed with veggies and try to put them on dry land. it's not the pony-haired guy, but another guy.

    3. i've asked the guy about the coral sandbed for the apistos tank. he said he's aware of their needs for slightly acidic water. he had measured the pH to be around 7. so he said it was still okay. i guess he probably don't have a lot of power to overhaul the whole apisto tank setups. there are a lot of apisto tanks with all coral chips.

    4. finally saw the schistura haa.. fat and long.. hwchoy..too big already la..

    thats all for the updates

    The pony-haired guy almost put water into my bag of LHCs when I bought them the last time I was there... I stopped him immediately and he's like, 'Huh? You sure?'... Oh well... Glad things are better...

    ah..sorry.. not too sure about their IDs. they are only labelled as apistos ha.. but they look quite dull.. probably coz of lack of cover? feeling insecure i guess.

    Bring that topic to the vivarium section and discuss. They are more nocturnal and can take days to finish poss a small piece of apple!
