someone is coming from indonesia. has anyone ever tried buying fish from there and bringing it in person on a flight to india?
just wondering what would be the issues, from indonesia, or at indian customs?
so ive bought 5 new strawberry rasboras to add to my remaining 7.
they’ve just come in today and ive put them in a smaller tank for observation.
however, one of the fish, its tail fin is colored deep black. im attaching pictures. its not a very clear picture because ive kept the light off and its night time. but u’ll get a fair idea.
the fish seller tells me that its a natural coloration, although not as common but they do it see it sometimes.
has anyone else come across strawberry rasboras with a black tail fin?
has anyone used this for their shrimps? was going to buy hikari but came across this indian brand.
so im looking for a shrimp food that provides amongst other things, calcium source.
ive heard about zewa feeds shrimp grazers… any reviews? or if anyone can recommend anything thats reasonably priced?
or not at a risk of being a counterfeit. recently have noted that lot of fake tetrabits are floating around so id prefer indian made rather than counterfeit intl brands.
looking for suggestions.
so in my nano tank ive got:
i have been feeding them some insect flakes which i crush and put for the rasboras, and for sparkling gourami im putting this food of insect inside. see attached image.
however i want to add some variety and if there are any ready crushed foods that are suitable for rasboras, CAN YOU’ll pls suggest??
i have been searching endlessly for someone who has chilli rasboras in india. why is it sooo impossible to get? hows it possible that no one in india seems to have them!!
does anyone know anyone who sells chilli rasboras?
has anyone tried siolim coffee? what are the reviews especially of their light roasts?
basically im looking for per gm cost of 4 rs or lower. why per gm cost? because as recently few people here have pointed out how pricing of packs is going up, but many are doing packs of 200gms instead of 250gms.
pls add to the list. this is not a reviewed list, its just a price list. infact below roasters i havent tried yet but read good things. not including the likes of grey soul and coffee verse (much as i love both) since they r 4.5rs per gm and above.
pls add and also give reviews if any of the roasters need to be removed from this list based on
parameters.
quality of roasts (consistency, genuinely light roasts) and price.
I have a recurring hair algae problem time to time. underlying issue is light plus even slightest leftover food causes hair algae growth. my tank size is 6-7 gallons so maintaining optimum balance at all times is very difficult.
tried amanos once but they disappeared due to the small gaps in the lid.
my current stocking:
1 sparkling gourami, 9 strawberry rasboras, 1 assasin snail.
what do i do about my hair algae?
do nerite snail eat hair algae? can i put them with assasin snail?
do i put neocardina snails? some reports on reddit suggest they eat hair algae but this is inconclusive.
or shud i try amanos again?
i read about scuds but again inconclusive.
any other suggestions? please help!
