Anyone Into Marine Fishes? the fish tank is my ex tank =D

[Frank y]

I was into marine fish-keeping for 7 years before I gave it up 2 years ago. I also tried keeping invertebrates but find that weekly adding of trace elements, performing 5-6 water tests, and changing water too tedious(I'm also lazy, cos I rather watch them than do the work). So I kept a marine fish-only for 5 years.

 

When the filters and the water in my 4-ft tank was mature(took a year), I didn't need to change water anymore for 5 years, just topping-up of water which was lost through evaporation.

 

I used 4 flourescent tubes(1 ultraviolet), 1 Eheim power filter canister running into 2 fluidized sand filters, 1 Jaqno power filter canister also running into 2 fluidized sand filters, and 1 protein skimmer. All running 24 hrs, except for lights(15 hrs timer). Only washed power filters alternately every 2 years. No cooler used.

 

Angelfish and butterflyfish don't do well in this set-up, but most others ok, for eg., snowflake moray from 4 inches to 1 ft length, 1-inch regal tangs to 4 inches, 2-inch porcupine puffer to 4 inches. I think my tank limited is around 28 inches fish length. The lifespan of fishes was around 1-2 years. A wonderful hobby.

 

All the best to your hobbies.

[stoner]

You can find these fish at most LFS,

 

Try Yishun BLK 618 or Clementi BLK 328.

 

I currently have a 8" Abino Oscar....

 

How about you, what fishes to you keep... PM me... cheers!

[svick]

There is one in eunos block 8 also.

But the trend for this fish not as popular as last time,

Thats why not much ppl rearing now.

but quite the nice fish to have. I had the black tiger one,

Fed life food all the time, aftr aftr sometime if its too big, its black fades away

[Firhas Bizar]

Thanks guys for the info. I'm right now not rearing any fish as my Oscar jus died. Really sad as i took care of it for a few years already and once i moved house, the poor thing died jus like that. Anyway, I went to the one at Eunos. They got the Oscars there. Both white and black one. But the uncle damn bloody arrogant sia. Like I owe him money like that.
