The day after the New Year
Second day of the New Year... My relatives are visiting tomorrow and so have to make sure the tanks look ok. Especially the 4 footer outside in the living room... This is how it looks like now...
And I managed to start a new tank before CNY! It is a 20cm tank housing 8 gobies now... I hope they can be transferred to a 1ft cube when I get the planned cabinet... :)

New scape, yet again...
Yah, hands itchy and decided to redo the old scape... Actually, some plants grew too much and took over the tank, so pulled a lot of plants out, replaced with some more and did this...
Actually, I hate it after it was done... I had an idea forming in my mind now and am coming up with the scape drawing now... After CNY, this tank will look different! :) No time to change anymore now!

Busy for CNY!
Well, I had been lazy... But still busy with buying stuff and getting the tanks ready for CNY!
The 4 ft tank had a major rescape and is now planted mainly with crypts and tenellus. I will post the pics in the next post... Hopefully the tank will look better then... Photobucket.com is down for maintenance and I can't upload my pics...
The shrimp tank in my room had became sort of like a plant warehouse now, as I prepare to sell my vivarium and then getting a 2ft tank for Endler's livebearers... I will be using hottonia, glosso and ranuchulus in that scape... If you have no idea what I am talking about, its normal. I also recently just learnt the scientific names of the plants! :p
Then I am planning to get a cabinet to hold about 3-4 tanks, so I can at least have a tank for some freshwater blennies and a proper tank for my newts... That has to be after CNY liao! Spent too much $$$ and have tp pace myself... :p
Had I shown these before? :)
The fish didn't last long, though... Pity, they look pretty and are pretty expensive too! :p
I will post pics of the new scape as soon as I can... :) Back to getting the tanks ready for CNY!

I bought some new fish recently. They are very cute and in my opinion, not that easy to find... At least they seem to be seasonal... Anyway, first time I saw them live... :)
That was a female. The males have nicer tail fins... :)
