New Addition

After putting off taking pictures of my tank for a while (due to its unsightly algae infestation), I've finally managed to snap a few photos of it. If you are a follower of my blog, you'll notice that this appearance changed significantly as I've just re-scaped the 1ft tank. The old layout was too cluttered with a rock in the background which cannot be seen. I've since removed that from the layout so that it looks more tidy.

FYI, I've also since started another planted 1.5ft cube tank and it has been populated with the lovely blue grass or red-blue grass :) (got them from a friend - thanks Johnny). I've also populated this tank with RCS and CRS. Enjoy ...

Shrimp Fever!!

It has been a while since I last updated this blog. Been quite busy with family and work lately. BUT ... I have not given up on the aquatic hobby yet. :) I just got another 15 CRS from a different source to further populate the tank. As the title would have it, the CRS were not the only shrimps I got. :)

Recently, shrimp fever has plagued a few of my colleagues as well and we've been doing group buys for shrimps. We've gotten CRS and green shrimps lately ... yes ... GREEN shrimps. Some of them looked quite green but some are just pale white with the occasional pinkish blemish.

Just got a trio of golden bee shrimp as well to hopefully help generate a better quality CRS when they breed. Will attempt to take pictures and post them. The nano tank has been re-scaped and I've since started a new bigger tank as well filled with blue/red grass guppies.
