Looks a lot like Poecilocharax Weitzmani.

hi very nice setup tank!! what is the size of the tank?? how much u got it for?

**wks** · 31st Oct 2006, 21:46

If you can't change water frequently to keep out ammonia, get a small hang on filter or an Eden 501 canister ( my all time favourite). It will benefit both the fish and plant.

**ah_hup** · 31st Oct 2006, 21:47

where can i buy this Eden 501 canister?

**Nevada** · 3rd Nov 2006, 03:10

Thanks ah hup,

have not really measure the real size of the tank. Its actually a flower vase or just a normal decoration vase. I got it for about US$6.00

Yup you are right shadow. I bought it at IKEA Seattle ... i guess other IKEA in other country do carry this flower vase too for sure.

**Chew** · 6th Nov 2006, 18:58

Yah. Can be found at IKEA Singapore. I got 2 taller ones at home. However, if you are going to add a filter to it, the Eden 501 would be an over kill for such small tank/ vase. I'm still looking for a suitable filter for such small tank (mine just 1.5L)

**Nevada** · 7th Nov 2006, 00:18

Chew, I think it is fine to go without filter. as long as you do a frequent water change.

A little update on the real dimension of the aquarium using a 15 cm ruler

**ankank** · 7th Nov 2006, 03:51

It is this vase, right? It is actually available all over the world, even here in Germany. I was thinking about getting that one for my workspace, please provide us with updates on how it works out.

In the meantime, I am trying to set up a wabi-kusa from an ikea salad bowl.
