2 of them r looks healthy but sometimes likes to hid inbetween plants. I can't really comment if they r easy to rear but so far so good. Bought them @ $5/pair...if I remember correctly think 5 for $10....

Can try.....the spots looks nice n they r quite active...

they r indeed very cute to me, n i've been eyeing on them for long long time liao.

will only keep them when i've confident. don't wish to see any living things to die on me. thanks for your reply, bro.

btw your setup looks good.

ahha...so this is the key thing which i lack of...the chiller. infos that i got from the web did mention they required low temp. if i go for it, it'll go to heaven in no time.

tks again for the great info, bro alvloh.

oops ! thought u r telling u got a chiller.

in that case, hope u don't mind to keep me updated since your tank is new. tks in advance.

actually i was at rainbow few days back. was unable to decide if i should bag some home cos they were keeping in a crs tank with chiller.

Really newbie for planted tanks and all I know is we will need soil, T5 lights, CO2 and Chiller(For greener plants).

My initial mentality was if want to do might as well do a 6ft rather than start with a smaller tank and move on to upgrade..... I think I was wrong as it really required alot of works and $$$$.....

Anyway already committed and here it goes...

My tank brought 2nd hand from a fantastic bro here...alot of free gifts to me also....delivered to my home on the 10th Feb 2011.
Other than thinking the height of the stand is abit too high....no complains for the tank....
