hahaha...angels love sponge and that's part of their natural diet. :D

The so-called feeding here is to be able to let ur fish feed for a long period of time with stable food supply.

If ur angel get sponge to feed on during it's captive life, then u can say that it's feeding.

Normally ppl considered it to be feeding as in when it's feeding on pellets or frozen foods. :lol:

Hopefully this will help.

I dun considered that as feeding personally cos sponge is expensive food source and they can run out, then u will need to search and buy more.

When u are going to sell it away, u can't tell other ppl that it's feeding on sponge and expect them to do the same. :lol: hahaha..just my 2cents worth here.

Hopefully no offense. :peace:

Hmmmm..yup...dun know why but think it's kinda stupid.

Why are they selling this fish in the market ?

Hai.. should leave it alone in the sea.

I hope I can find a solution to it. Researching into marine life is a hobby to me.

Thanks for the offer, maybe when I visit u, we can share abit of knowledge. :lol:

Pleased to meet u. :D

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
