Wah your analysis is so complex... you must be a big boss in order to think like thatOriginally Posted by Merviso
Actually now I also believe that you are the big BOSS...
Higher electricity consumption increased company running costs, and reduced overall profits, which can be interpreted as reducing monthly salary of the big BOSS...
Anyway, are you going to tear down this tank since you got yourself another taller one. This tank I feel is good to do up as a terrarium. If only you can keep some giant beetles or gecko or even tarantula...
No, I am hoping to keep this tank. Maybe change it slightly but generally things are looking "green"... don't wanna give up on it yet
How about keeping those beautiful black and white striped insects that suck blood?If only you can keep some giant beetles or gecko or even tarantula...

hahaha... if your pocket is deep enough to afford the fines... why not?
Actually, I'm now very tempted to start one Mudskipper Tank after seeing this video...
Funny, just can't seem to get it right... anyway here's the link: YouTube - Team Mudskipper vs The Flying Ants

Not sure if there are freshwater species, guess most should be brackish, maybe will do some research to see if it is doable. I also like their action, damn cute and aggressive...
Moved the tank to the other side of my work desk... seen here next to my new Pico project
I used to consider this vivarium small... but I'm not sure anymore
Did some major changes...
1) Removed a thick branching DW to make space
2) Added more water... this tank is definitely a Paludarium now
3) Added more plants, the Blyxa japonica in front is leftover from my 2ft tank... Cryptocoryne wendtii 'green gecko' to try
4) Removed the mistmaker
Plants are all doing well including the Mini Bolbitis
I am happy with the outcome so far.

Intend to keep any fauna inside? Perhaps an SAE?

With larger volume of water and internal filtration... it's definitely time to add something interesting... how about Apisto? What do you guys think?Cool....for awhile i thought uyou sprinkled fine white sand onto the wood!

think a pair of apisto is too small for it..
how about a pair of wild betta?
I will prefer it to fill to the brim.. :P
then turn into another planted tank..
that is a cute pico tank!!
like that how to concentrate on work?!!

I went out to buy a pair of wild Betta during lunch today... Betta Mandor... but the problem is after about 1 hour inside the tank... they started to show sign of aggressive
Can anyone help confirm if I've gotten 2 male specimens?
Here's a pix under flash... will try to take better shots tomorrow.

Yippie!! Reptiles and Fishies!
Mandor has always been known as a rather aggressive species... i've seen a male kill about 3 females..the breeder gave up in the end..hahaha..
The female survived!!!Will continue to monitor the situation...
Hi bro Jervis!, you got a beautiful setup ! serious dude! i like the way your Vivarium look! man! make me wanna make 1 myself!!
cheers! man you just gave me another project in mind beside my fresh water clams !
regards
Mark aka Clam boy
Some Betta shots... still not showing much colouration yet... will let them settle down for a few more days... this male specimen is eating well... you can see its round tummy
Transfered some C. parva and C. wendtii "green gecko" over from my 1ft cube... this tank is now officially a Crypt Paludarium ( a bit too much water to be a vivarium)

looks good!
some suggestion:
1) get some moss and tie it to the wood above the water.. or even below the water will be good.
2) cover the whole foreground with C.parva!
3)get some creeping plants and attach it to your backing..
4) maybe can get some mini bolbltis and tie to the wood above the water as well? can have the dropping effect.
my 0.2cents worth =)
Thanks bro for the recommendations... I will consider each and every one of them

Was unhappy with the yellowish bulb... found a much whiter bulb yesterday
Greens look more normal here and I can start to see interesting details on my Betta mandor too
Another shot showing my Paludarium's oldest inhabitant (been growing rapidly) and thermometer showing 30ºC
The male Betta Mandor is looking better these days

Jervis,
Mind ask you...most of your picture you taken indeed timeless awesome!
What camera are you using ?How you bring enough light to ensure a really good shot.
Next time, i must go your place and watch you clicking away so that i will go home a changed man.
