Charcoal Bamboo hiding caves

[inimicus]

Hi

has anyone used the charcoal bamboo caves before? After i washed it there is this slippery greasy feel on my hands...is it normal?

[benny]

Nope. Those I used does not feel slippery or greasy after washing. Where did you get yours from?

Cheers,

[inimicus]

I got mine from Polyart. It's those in a long plastic bag with green label.

[zoombee]

i used those from daiso $2 per pack..don't have the slippery and greasy feeling

[inimicus]

Hi zoombee

$2 per pack Daiso? Are they breeding/hiding charcoal bamboo as well or filter media? Where you got them from? Mine costs like $9 for a stick!

[zoombee]

you never research deep enough ..yes alot of people are using them for shrimp tanks including myself

[inimicus]

Oh yes zoombee i must have not been doing my research deep enough. So would you be kind enough to tell me where you got the Daiso ones from?

[bryan]

ermm.. Daiso.

FYI, I've seen Y618 promoting black bamboo caves under some Jap brand, not too sure whether would it give you those greasy feel after washing it though.

but is this the same as those sold in daiso ? if so, it might be better value to get from daiso instead

hi zoombee, any pictures of this bamboo that you got from daiso?

Boil in some hot water, it will help to get rid of the bacteria.

Thanks Heeroyu will take note.

Hi zoombee initially i thought Daiso was a brand. So now i assume that it's a shop? Does it happen to be the shop in IMM building?

I'm not too sure as I've not seen the ones sold by Daiso. Anyone got a pic of the bamboo by Daiso. But personally, IMHO, I feel that a bamboo is a bamboo....

Yes, Daiso is a shop located in IMM. Got me from Daiso, don't seem to have the greasy feel you have encountered.

Used the Jap brand one. Comes in a nice wrapings.

Got a 2 big and 2 small ones. Simple washing and put it in. Did not feel any greasy or oil. rough to the touch.

Greasy and oily feeling is an indication that you should not use it until you know what is on it. Doesn't sound good.

I got mine for around 2.5 for the small one and 4 for the large one.

yup in IMM the $2 japanese shop

if you intend to use it for hiding caves...give you a tip..as not all the bamboo inside the packaging is hollow..so usually I will do swap to make sure my pack is fully hollow

[alechim]

There is another Diaso at Plaza Sing. It should still be there unless it close down already. Have not been to PS for a long long time

there's daiso at IMM, Plaza Sing and Vivocity
