  1. Hi! After feedbacks and comments from my Froggipani club members.....i have decided to heed their advise. 1ft tank without skimmer has no way for 2 pc of 4inch frog fish. As such, i am going to let go my two beauty and change to 1inch+ instead. 1 Red 1 white warty purple patch Both are very stable and feeding. For those interested bro, i will perform a live feed, watch them eat and convince before you take. For frog fish lover, this is a good size to keep. The red one is very red. Has been with me for 3mth+....colour doesn't seems to fade at all. The white one is very warty. No mouth rot, no cloudy eyes....warranty card will be given I have to let go both of them before i start my new collection. 1 pc $85 Take both $150 If you have any questions, please feed free to PM me. PS - my froggipani member will have special discount if they interested.
  2. Or not-so-safe hands. I'm really feeling uneasy about keeping big froggies now. If your nitrates shoot up to such dangerous levels, then maybe you should sell them. Two 5" frogfish in a 1ft tank may be just overcrowded. I have in the past religiously tested my tanks for nitrates, nitrites, ammonia and phosphates (not using the commercial kits sold in the LFS - more sophisticated than that. Testing 3 tanks took me 2 to 3 hours). Now I don't do it anymore cos ammonia is really difficult to do, and I doubt the efficacy of the ones they sell in the LFS. Nitrate fluctuates quite a bit, but still within tolerable limits. Nitrite is always low (0.0X) but I don't know whether it is a true reflection of what is happening in the tanks. Phosphate always remains at a certain level, and no matter how many water exchanges I make, it doesn't drop significantly, or even if it does, it will creep back to the same level in a short time.
  3. hahaha! Like i said, we can proceed to fabricate and by the time 7th mth over...we can just nice collect the tank
  4. bro, if you interested, PM me your hp. I sms the two photos to you. Need your comment.
  5. Bro Synanceia, I m testing the limit of putting 2 pc of 5inch+ froggy in a 1ft tank. Without skimmer, just a overhead filter and 1+ inch DSB. The nitrate will shoot every 2-3 days to dangerous level. I must change change and change water. Very tedious and tired. The red one i bought $85. Now logically it should shoot up to $160 cos he eat up my 1inch+ yellow warty. The white warty looks like my avatar but not as cute cos it is 5inch+. Bought from Henry last thursday. Just settle down and start feeding.... Actually wanted to check whether are you interested in both of them cos i know they will be under a safe pair of hand if you take it. Once these two are sold, I m going to proceed with 5 to 6 pc of 1 inch+ one instead. If not, then i will carry on with these two cos i agree with you, red are rare and costly.....
  6. bro Shawn... Aquamarin got a lots of small frog fish....but quite normal. Looking forward to meet you tomorrow. Now i am going to sell away my two 5inch white warty and the red one. Cannot tahan the bioload...i m testing the limit by keeping both in a 1ft tank. You got lobang?
  7. Hi Lester....morning! Thanks for the pic. It looks really stand out. Let's expediate and go ahead..... Looking forward to the setup!
  8. bro Synanceia, enjoyed reading your autobiography.....a humble and modest upbringing. Look forward to meet you one day.... I came from a not really well to do family.... keeping fishes and buying equipments and electricity consumption was not a luxury things i can afford when i was younger. Now that i m working, move to a new house, i wanted to fulfill my dreams to keep a marine tank..... I always ask myself "do we really need to spend a bomb to start a marine tank"? or all those expensive equipments are nothing but gimmick. I m knew to this marine hobby but i am still exploring whether is it possible to do a reliable setup without the need to spend too much. Now that i have come across someone whom believe and has actually done it, i look forward to learn from you. .....
  9. bro, i bought a 4inch frog fish from Henry last week. White again....look exactly like Lester's avatar.
  10. sorry bro....my 4ft by 2.5ft by 2ft use which model is prefered? RIO and Ehiem. Btw, i am using a china brand pump and i believe due to its heat dissipation, it cos my temp to raise from 29 to 32. Will using RIO or Ehiem reduce the deficit? Thank you.
  11. agree with you bro! I bought 5 fishes from them so far all survived. 3 more from other LFS....all up the lorry. Wondering is it coincident or what.... But their fish is generally 15 to 20% higher than market rate
  12. bro, i am sorry to hear about your frog fish mishap they were really beauty especially the red warty you bought from ah beng. Bro, you say you will stop buying big frog fish....but how big is your big? How big is your tank and you house how many frog fish in it? Equipment leh? After hearing forumer told me you principal of "keeping fishy happy very the need of investing expensive equipment" , i m working toward this objective too Need to learn from you. Call me a sadist if you want....tell you the truth, i actually felt more relieved and console after hearing your frog fish oso can died. I blamed myself for "killing" 3 frog fish so far due to my incompetency and inexperience. Total Destruction $200+. Toying with the idea of giving up......but on hearing even expert also will fail does motivate me : To err is human............ I m keeping two 4inch+ frog fish in my 1 ft tank using normal overflow filter without skimmer. Wanted to sell my orange one to lester to downsize....but when i come home and look at it....always so reluctant. I very scare the water will crush sooner or later....
  13. Ya....who bought it please own up! Or else we will assume the culprit is Bro Synanceia! Lester please confirm synanceia's address. WE BREAK IN! Bro, i suppose you dun have the black frog fish. Wakai got 1 nice one. Are you interested? Bro, i heard some reefer told me you are a expert in exotic and odd ball fishy and you against all odds can keep fishy happy and healthy without the need to invest in expensive equipment yet. Look forward to learn from you.
