looks great,what kind of sand it that looks really good.

Hey thanks!

That's sudo bottom sand, not sure if this brand is available in the US though.

here's a sample pic

Fantastic stock and amazing pictures. You must have a kick ass camera as I can never seem to get such crisp shots. How big is your tank?

Thank you

Not any kick-ass camera but an old entry level DSLR - Nikon D60. The camera is with me for almost 6years and still serving me well

The important was that Eartheaters are generally slow swimming, hence i'm able to get crisp & clear shots without with a external flash

Very nice stock!

What made you decide to switch?

Thanks!!

Well, I'm most probably going back to do my degree after working for one year + national service (all singaporean males have to serve the army/navy/airforce and at a smaller extend firemen & police for 2years). Guess I won't have time peeling the prawn shells for my predators, nor would i have the money to buy feeders constantly to feed them.

EEs are good, they eat cheap pellets, treat them to some frozen blood worms & they are so happy .. less quarrelsome compared to my peacock basses as well

this tank is nice i think the sand is pretty awesome as well.
the choice of fish are great too. Singapore is such an easy place to pick up cool fish like this... and it's small enough where you can drive around anywhere and get anything on the same day as long as it's in an LFS! no shipping!!!

Thank you! I agree, and am really glad to be living here... everything's a stone throw away and the worst case would be stuck in a torrential rain in a farm with no transport.. luckily most cabs are willing to drive in

Good news, my red heads just spawned on thursday.. the mum placed all the eggs in her mouth when i checked on them this morning.. (she ain't opening her mouth to feed. even breathing with mouth quite shut).

I returned my friend the heckeliis and winemilleris & am already missing them

Thank you!

A pair of Satanoperca daemon

Got 4 and shared with a friend.. surprisingly i think we each got a pair each. (we divide the 4 fish without viewing / choosing.. quick a bit of luck there to get a pair each lol!)

Usually aquahobby and JZX . The bosses know fish species better IMO. C328 a bit cluttered n fish species are not written esp for Geos as juves look very alike. Equipment wise they are good though.

Aquahobby n JZX are both within 30mins bus ride from my place (10mins by car).. So it's really awesome. Usually spend my boring weekends sitting n chatting with the bosses lol!
