    I'm just dropping a pellet or two everyday. Cleaning in up at the end of the day. Hopefully it will realise that the pellets are actually food.

    Starving your fishes for a few days is the way to go.

    Re: Apisto chat/LFS watchlist & etc

    Should be fairly accurate as the meter is pre-calibrated before shipping. Also, i have found quite a few posts on ketapang leaves increased the tds reading.

    The tds reading for my tank, i guess, there are many rotten leaves in the old tank. Usually i dont bothered to remove the leaves, letting them disintegrated completely in the water. Posting this to notify those using ketapang leaves to lower the pH of their water

    My bitiaeniata from AC...the video quality is so so as using my lousy sony HP.

    Its very obvious when the leave started to rot. Just take them out when you noticed that.

    Re: Apisto chat/LFS watchlist & etc

    Ok, I am quite sure now my TDS meter working fine. Mistakes that i made,

    - Rotten leaves should be removed or not too much ( i really put in alot)
    - I dumped peat moss into the pail and filtered the water out, not the right way as the peat decomposed in the water adding on to the TDS

    Now I am slowly adjusting the water back.

    To let the male fish flare at its own image. Apisto looks best they flared, something like the fighting fish/betta.

    I think it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, i noticed that my apisto seems to be doing much better under the cool raining season. Of course, just make sure that you acclimatised them before you transfer them from 30 degC water to 23degC.
