[eddy planer]

hi limz

Thanks for your kind complimentary.

I have to mist at least 5x a day , will be using the misting system controlled by timer soon. I just ordered it through ebay.

Hi folks

It's time for me to introduce fauna into my palu without destroy my flora. I'm think of get those fauna without offend the AVA strict laws.

Tell me folks, what do you think of this fauna below:


Kaloula pulchra and Bufo melanostictus

Any feed back?

[limz_777]

just be careful of handling toads , their skin is quite toxic

[David Moses Heng]

Hi Eddy, I doubt you will want those 2 frogs/toads in your beautiful setup. The Painted bullfrog and the Asian Toad likes to dig and they'll go all out to destroy your setup without intention. Also the painted bullfrog excretes a thick mucus like liquid from its body and will sort of "dirty" your setup and trust me its thicker and stickier then erm our mucus

IMHO they're not ideal for your setup... go for white's (if you can find them) or for the water section, you can get the newts (if we can see them this weekend) or if you are lucky, you can even find the 4 line treefrog outside your house.

Go NA (Nature Aquarium) and buy? Or why not we try and source for a good and cheap source and we do bulk order because it seems many of us are using it... and they make good backgound for Tillandsias (airplants) too

[eddy planer]

you are lucky, you can even find the 4 line treefrog outside your house.

I'd study and did my research and decided to drop those toads, you are right Desmond. They are avid burrower and surely all my flora sure gone upside down. All my effects gone down with ugly toads!

4 line treefrog? sounds very interesting! How to catch them? Desmond , can we go frog hunting or we drive up all the way to KL just to own GTF?

Let me know your thoughts

David, In my palu, I'd pulled out few strips of loose bark of 2-3ft long(washed with 4 parts water 1 part bleach) from Farrer Park carpark which locate Farrer Park Swimming Pool and decorated it together with others. My creepers grow well with it.no problem is FOC!

well its best not to discuss hunting of any type here, sure get infraction/lecture from MODs

[BFG]

Ahem! Relax guys, just be responsible and mature and everything should be just fine. Anything else, there's the pm function. Now back to the regular program.....

Eddy, I firmly think that using frogs or toad is not in the tank best interest. What your tank need is for something that is always on the move and does not disrupt the set up. Frogs or toad would just sit there and might occasionally jump around for a while. You need something unique and exotic in that water column.

Hi Mohamad,

Thanks a millions , good advice you gave me.

Actually i hate some critters mess up my painfully flora setup.

Do you have any fauna in mind to beautify my palu?

[dkk08]

He's great bigger and looking for a mate

I was thinking of crabs but they hide even more then frogs, my Ofc new vivarium has 3 vampire crab and it has been a week since I last see them sigh

[fotoudavid]

I can only envy, perhaps i will do one.... but small one, as back problem, and space constraints.

Recommend how small should i build? Roughly the cost involve? If doing an 3 ft, i estimate the sum to reach at least $500 to $800.

well the cost depends on the materials and flora/fauna you're getting... go do some research on the theme and the flora/fauna and from there you'll be able to estimate the cost

Yes sir will do that, think i will start small, then when my CO likes it, then can do a bigger one, back break also do, haha.

Space is the constraint.

Hi fotoudavid,

That's depend since you like to gave it a shot, to start small as 2ft or even 1ft tank.

I'll help you to think of, the cost factors like what desmond say all soley depend on how you like.

I spend for my 6ft palu , is almost SGD900! But the materials alone are SGD350 to DIY the themes.

Let me know how do you want to start small like 1-2ft palu or viva tank?
