  1. i keep my warty (about 2 inches) in a betta box in my 24g. Seems cruel initially but it seems to do very well in there. Some points to share below: 1) hardy given ok water parameters - i dun have chiller, so most of the time its about 30degree celsius, it's a IOS cube tank and i'm running a small skimmer and algae turf scrubber 2) i feed 1 small fish to it about 5-7 days a week - usually $1 guppy from normal LSF, it took a chromis before but had problem catching cos chromis and damsel swim too fast. Can consider feeding cheap clown fish *although its mouth can extend to 12 times normal size, i normally feed fish no bigger than 3/4 of warty's size 3) usual problems with frogfish is underfeeding and overfeeding - it may starve to death if tank is too big and its food swims too fast, it does not know when it is full and will eat whatever you feed, will encounter buoyancy problem when too full (you will see it floating a little or can't swim normally) Its esca bait trap does not work so well in an aquarium so in a way, keeping my warty in betta seems to help with feeding instead. Of course, would give it away or upgrade tank it gets big.
  2. Hi Gunzo, Would love to show you pictures but i could not figure out how to load images here? Can please show me maybe pm me your email so that i can send you. You keep peacocks too?

  5. thanks sherman but CF is little out of the way for me.
  6. Hi Guys, Anyone knows where to buy those small mangrove/mud crabs about 1 to 2 inches in size? (not rainbow crab) Used to get them at about $1.50 to $3.00 at Chinatown Wong Loy Kee (i think) and my neighbourhood LFS. But now it seems to be out of stock and my place LFS doubled price to $6 each. Want to get them to feed my peacock mantis shrimp but i can't afford a Happy Meal every time. rgds
  7. Hi Guys, Just like to know if anyone keeps a mantis shrimp? Been visiting the mantis shrimp thread (very active) in reefcentral but don't seem to find any discussion on mantis shrimp here. My first peacock lasted 6 weeks and had my second one for about 4 months now and going strong. Other LS in my 80L cube are 2x Azure damsel 1x yellow dottyback 1x domino damsel lookalike but prettier 3x tube anemone a handful of nassarius snails and hermit crabs Would love to hear your stories and learn from your experiences. rgds
  8. Hi Angel Fish, Why dun you just hire a taxi since you are ok with paying $15 an hour? You can pm me to discuss, i stay near to AMK. rgds
  9. Yes, i would say give it more time too bro. The amount of brown you see after 6 days is pretty good compared to me (i only see decent amount of browning after 10 days). Just note that it will take a while, probably two cycles of 3-4 weeks (that's the time lapse before i clean the scrubber) before i saw the green algae in strands. It goes brown first, then darker and darker, then you see a mesh of green algae, then strands of green algae.
  10. yes bro, you will see the brown one first and then when the system kicks in, you will see the green algae in strands. give it 3 to 5 weeks.
