Hi there. Yesterday 20/01/09 i've created a low tech Nano Iwagumi for my son, Gilbert. Thanks to Benny for this tank.

It comes with filter and heater(not using) also.
Lighting: 9W PL
Substrate: Lapis sand with JBL Aquabasis below and volcanic rocks
CO2: NA
Background Feature: bought from Hong Kong, $6 a piece(2pc inside), make of clay, strange thing it floats.

Plant:
Eleocharis sp. (Japan Hairgrass)
Cryptocoryne parva

Fauna:
Wild endler(3 inside)
Sakura(maybe)
Malayan(Maybe)

Let see how it goes on the way... He's so happy about it. ...

Swee! You use wild endler for commando fish!?!?? Can exchange with me? I buy a few platies and you give me your 3 endler can?

[blue33]

LOL. Thanks! If you know how you setup, then you dont have to worry the water parameters.

[craftsman]

Ha ha ha... this isn't your first tank, so your water is probably 3/4 cycled already. Just trying my luck to see if I could have gotten the 3 endlers off you. Ha ha ha ha ha

[blue33]

Ha ha ha.... WRONG! Direct from the tap. Of course i add in anti-chlorine and potassium. LOL ...

[craftsman]

sigh.. poor endlers... ha ha ha ha ha

Wow your Son is well blessed!

[craftsman]

Viper, actually, its not his son's tank.. it really belongs to Adrian himself. Shhh.... dun tell people.

[blue33]

LOL... aiya, caught red handed... ...... nope.

Wah, such a cute tank and such a cute cat beside it too! (I thought it was real, lol) Your son must be so happy and excited.

Both my tanks are my daughter's Give your son some sakura to play with. My daughter enjoy feeding the shrimps and scaring the fishes.

Where did you get you nice rock?

Nisso full set tanks are expensive, but plug and play. My first tank years back was a plug and play tank, cost me more than $200. End up giving it away, due to work.

Yes. Thinking of introduce Sakura once the tank mature. He wants more fauna than plant i guess, he wants my big fish also.

Oh, the rocks i got it from from a forumer here, he sold me pretty cheap a batch of 6 rocks, he may still have quite abit. PM me if you interested, he now hardly online, can try. I also secure another rock which i bought from Colourful sometime ago, it looks like a mountain, seiru rock.

Yeah, Nisson tank are not cheap.

What are you waiting for, get them one and start kicking... Dont worry craftsman wants to setup whole house into a fish farm.

[craftsman]

Wa ha ha ha ha ha Once I migrate my apistos to the 13 tanks, I will pass the small 1ft tanks to each of them. They do WC themselves! ha ha ha ha

[blue33]

Ok. I will get it...

[JadeIceGreen]

Endlers seem to be very popular lately, and with colours like that, its understandable. Nice shot!

[blue33]

Thanks for the compliment.

think Endlers seem to be very popular lately partly due to the recent discussions on them being effective hair algaes eaters :P

Well... they were not effective @ all for me !

They just bullied my sakuras by nibbling on the algae wafers meant for them.
