Haha yeah. Looking at your reputation it's almost 100% that you were from another hobby one...

But rearing cray is so much simpler haha, and nice colours and 6 to 7 years life span, it's so contenting...

Marrons are my favourite, because they're the ones with the most intensive blue on their bodies, but too bad, we're living in Singapore, and it prefers really cool water, managed to keep it for 3 months though

But that happy memory enough liao, I still remembered burying it at my mum's plant pot there.

A lot of people here recommend slightly alkaline water, as acidic water will corrode their shell, but for me it's simple, everytime I change water, I always add dechlorinator and bubble them for 1 to 2 hours before changing water... Government won't be so good to treat us Lemon tea or add soap to our water, so most probably would be fine...

As for the tank, I seriously do not recommend substrate, because you're finding trouble for yourself when the defecation gets stuck in the corals, although it may be possible for the bacteria to switch over to become good ones and make your water clean, sometimes fouling bacteria may cause diseases to your crayfish, because the water appear so clean when at the glass there are algae growth already... I cannot tahan a slightest amount of dirt in the tank, so I don't put substrate, but I'm looking for those huge pieces of corals to be placed in the tank, so it makes the water hard, and it looks damn nice, just one piece in the tank...

Tigers (Rare)

America:

Dwarf Orange (Mexico) Check this link:
http://www.rainbowfish.info/forum/vi...&view=previous - Rear this one must use magnifying glass for the glass of your tank, haha, I saw it at a farm once, was so damn small didn't bother to take a second glance, now then I know so rare. But don't you guys think that the Orange Clarkii is better? Bigger and can see = )

Should be all... My memory bad la, can only recall at most the list above, anyone got more to add, as in, available in Singapore?
