Water Change

So, as you can see from the attached photos, I've been doing water change ebery week. Watet change is very important, not only aesthethically but also to the health of fishes. According to liveaquaria.com water change is one of the methods of reducing ammonia and other compounds harmful to fishes. Actually, before when I don't have any idea about gish aquarium set up, I though you change 100% percent of the water in your aquatium to totally remove all the dirt. However, now I learned that it is beneficial to the fish to change about 30% percent of the water because it lessens the stress that the fish may experience, this was according yo a friend who is a flowerhorn enthusiast. I personally fpund it also enough to change only 30% of the water as long as you will get the water at the bottom part especially under my rocks because this is where all feed remains settle. Lastly, you already have that aerator filter that readily filters the water so big ones are very ben...

First Things First

So! Since I got interested on how charming Flowerhorns are, I started a set up using a 50-gallon tank and added some non toxic rocks you know, just to add life to the tank itself. Well, actually there is no easy in putting up your own tank, quiet laborious cleaning the tanks plus extra care for the fish because they only cost as much as my whole allowance for a month, then double it. Actually, this fish was not mine but offered by a friend to be taken of care of me. Well, quiet scary because if something unfortunate happens, its gonna be friendship over I think but I still took it at as a challenge to pet this flowerhorn to also learn about them. Sooo, If you're asking how much would a set up of this flowerhorn aquarium would cost? Im gonna give you an estimate as I tell you the story oh how I started my aquarium. Well, usually flowerhorns need much space since they like to swin and roam around the tank, so they roughly need a minimum of 20-gallon aquarium which lucky of me got...

Something Fishy

So, it's been a long time since my last post and i feel sorry for keeping you guys waiting. If you're going to ask about my fish, we'll it's quite fine as i observed it aside from it's appetite that declined a bit I think. Usually it consumes 15-20 pieces of extra large okiko feeds that i give at 2-3 times a day basis but now it only consumes 10-15 pieces. Not being paranoid but, this changes in the diet may tell tell something and may lead to something. So i consulted my friend about the matter but he seems this is quite normal, he himself experienced it in his flowerhorns he added. They may consume less because they are full and he also observed the fish physically and there were no underlying conditons to worry about. You may think how did I know it consumes less than before? I still give 15pieces of feeds but only less of it were consumed so i am forced to remove the ones not being eaten. Maybe it's because of the water condition making it eat less, but I ma...
