Discus ..... buy in pair....very nice....

or

Parrot Fish ...

Godl Fish ....very dirty....

Buy NEON fish la.... or sword tail fish ....

Buy GUppy also can....easy to rear and don die easily....

 

[hammett]

Toman is the way to go man....

get the Toman Bunga, or even better, some other rare species of toman. Ferocious, and hardy. Can sacrifice frogs, cicaks, fish, cockroach, baby mice, or anything that can fit its mouth.

Very happening fish.

No need for filter, no need for oxygen pump, no need frequent cleaning. Feed once a week also can. Best of all....Baby Toman Bunga can be bought for RM10 only. Or less. Can grow fat and huge, depending on tank size.

Good way to impress girls who come into your room....

You : "Dear, see my fish? Damn fierce wan" (throw a frog/cicak/whatever inside).
Girl: "Wahhhh, so ganas arrrr, so macho lar you, keep this kind of ferocious fish, lets fuck..."

Happening.....

I'm not very good in fish stuff, but I used to rare sepat, puyu, and afew 'eat shit' fish <--- if you guys know which fish I'm taking about :lol: the black color one his mouth is like a vacuum cleaner LOL :lol: .. these fishes can last very long especially the puyu. But I prefer a nicer fish most importantly can last long. I rare before gold fish about 20+ of them all died after 2-3 months :ph34r:

I'm not sure what setup to go for, only the normal one by using normal water with 'clorin' and oxigen .. saltwater those have to wait when I'm a pro. I will be going to glass shop to custom my own aquarium fish tank, much cheaper than fish shop I think. :rolleyes:

Fighting fish too small to see, i prefer the size bigger a little. Hey guys, my budget only RM 100 for a pair ok. I hope all the fishes you all name is within my budget so I can go look look.

Can recommend me a brand for oxigen? price leh?

I will also rare some tortoise. :lol: <--- very cheap budget and very very very long lasting.

Thanks.

There's the new Giant Hypermarket along LDP. Across is a new Shell petrol station. Behind this Shell is Laguna. Note: You must fish WITHOUT the reel or they'll charge you RM8. Bring an air pump to keep the fish alive.
Oh.... Laguna opens from 3 pm daily except Sat and Sun where they open at 2pm. Monday is the off day. Happy fishing. :P

If you are rearing it in room. I assuming you are going to have a small or moderate size of tank.

Maybe 2"x1"x1". It is good for you to rear guppy. You can decorate the tank with plastic plants and others decoration. And you can do a few layer filteration. Then you will not have to change water for at least 3 weeks or month plus..

As for the water pump make sure it is pumping at least 15 times the volume of the water in your tank to have a clean and healty water for your fishes..

If you have big tank like 4x2x2 or 5x2x2 you might consider arowana?
Forget the old theory that aro can't be keep in multiply. You can keep two or even more together in a tank. Make sure you rear them with Koi. If you keeping 2 aro then put 2 koi that are the same size into the tank. it will keeps them away from fighting. If you keeping more aro. 3 Koi is normally enough. if you want more it is up to you. Make sure your Koi is the same size or bigger then your aro. or else the koi become the aro's food..

 

[Xenix]

aro can last you to max about 18 years.
BUT alot of care to make sure it live till 18 years.!!!


I think guppy is good for you. Less and easy maintaince.

 

[Jebu]

if u're a very attractive girl.. u can lure a type of fish into your room.. hell, into
anywhere u want... for free.. it'll even have cash and transportation for u as well..
it can live without being in water... it's called waterfish

;)

Jebu, check your water PH. keep the PH around 7 +/-.
How big is your tank? How many liter tank?
LxWxH (in3 X 0.016 = liter) (feet3 x 28.31 = liter)

once you got the water volume of your tank. you select your water pump (the pump that pumping the water to your filter) make sure it is pumping about 15 times or more of water volume of the tank per hour.

Mean if your tank is 4X1.5X1.5 = 9 feet3 = 255liter and you should have a pump that is pumping about 3800L. Hope this helps on selecting your water pump.
As the type of fish you are keeping is small types becarefull of the suction area. Sick fish might get suck away or stuck there and die.

Since it is in the office it is advice that your put a few layer of filteration. It will keep those busy work (lazy) away from water changing for weeks.
Guppy, Swordtail, Molly and Platy is a good choice as they are less maintance to do.

Try no to feed them too much. Extra food will make the water condition dirty and bad. Just feed them just enough or less.. Dont worry as they won't die because of food/strave. Since you will be feed them every work days. Best to feed them twice a day. Morning and Afternoon before leaving the office. it will be enough.

And hungry fishes tend to be more dare. they wont hide behind the tank when someone gets near the tank. and they will also play with your hand thinking it is food.
