Turbo Snail Died

Posted by gerg On 12:43 PM 0 comments
This snail was among the 1st batch fish/invert i bought for my first tank. Growth from 1/2 inch to almost 2 inch plus ...

Today.. its die .. dunno the exact reason .. maybe already old or not much algae to graze on :D

The only thing i know, its become very slow cleaner since this month compare to other snails that i have .. orang tua .. sakit belakang dah .. hehe

Now only left 2 snails .. going to buy more later!!

Maintainance @ Kije kije amal

Normally to maintain this type of aquarium not as hard as people think!

Weekly (masa tukar air)
- change bout 10 gallon water (bersamaan 1 tong sampah 10 gallon air)
- change sponge
- siphon debris from sump/tank
- buang skim mate
- bilas apa yg patut kat dalam sump

Monthly
- change activated carbon

Bila perlu
- lap cermin :D

semua tu biasanya tak der lah lama pon .. biasanya siphon dulu air ke longkang .. kalau ada jentik jentik confirm lemas.. masa lebih kurang 5 minit .. then masuk kan air yang baru guna siphon jugak sambil layan movie :D .. lebih kurang 5 minit jugak nak tunggu dia abis ...

selepas semua selesai .. on balik return pump macam biasa .. this time chromis are crazy chasing for pod i think.

Sailfin Tangs
ikan ni confirm akan mati .. already told my wife since at kedai ikan .. sebab kecik sangat .. so dia mati katak kena buli other tangs!

My wife just added 2 more new fishes .. hrmm .. susah betul bila bawak gi kedai ikan nih :D

Just added
1- Sailfin Tangs
2- Hawkfish

both fishes are doing fine only baby sailfin tangs has been chased around the tank by brown tang. Not major issue since its only happen whenever sailfin go near brown tang only.
It is basically an escape. Also as a soothing element to relax in stressful environments. Some believe that seeing fish swim about helps us to forget our worries and ease our minds.
