My Tropica Jungle Under Water Mode...

This is my aquarium, size is 3 feet x 2 feet x 1.5 feet...

Originaly i have a pair of pufferfish, many of snails (these pest is come hitchhike together with the water plant i buy), tiger barb x 4, guppy x 10, Neon Tetra n Black Neon Tetra x 6, water plant x 10...

The Dwarf or Pygmy Puffer (Tetraodon Travancorius) is a freshwater puffer fish that feeds on live food, but the main benefit of the Dwarf Puffer in the planted aquarium is its snail-eating ability. There have been many occasions where we saw many small (non-beneficial) snails coming out from hiding when the lights go out, that is the reason I introduced the Dwarf Puffer into My tank. However, the negative side of the Dwarf Puffer is its aggressiveness towards anything that moves, including fish. Hopefully it will learn to co-exist with the other fishes in the tank. In the meantime, you can enjoy the helicopter-like movement of the Dwarf Puffer as it flutters around hunting for snails...

Neon Tetra

Black Neon Tetra

Tiger Barb

The Tiger Barb is best kept in groups of 6 or more, or it will furiously nip the fins of other fish.

Guppy


I having the tank for almost 3 years time, since the first day I put in the water till present now. I had never change the water at all. Just top up the water when its become less. I decorate the tank with stone that I pick from teh river side and also some wood from the bottom of the river. If i lucky I also catch some water strider to put into my tank.

Once I also notice that some dragonfly have lay egg in my tank cause i found some dragonfly nymph in my tank eating up my small guppy offsprings.
