I have no idea what had happened, but I woke up this morning, late for my bus, and found Popeye (a.k.a DBKL slash Octocinclus) dead in the tank. It is such a sad Friday, one of the most useful fish passed away and leaving my tank with more Diatom problem.
I tried to figure out the [...]

After a fine Google around, I finally came to the conclusion that the tiny worm in my tank is called Planaria. Planaria (family Planariidae) are common freshwater, non-parasitic flatworms (more info please read Wikipedia)According to the articles I read, Planaria is indeed a manifestation due to overfed or excess fish dropping in the tank, which [...]

I got tagged by Englye about K for Keone. So, I have to answer the questions start with K.
Here’s how it works:Use the first letter of your name to answer each question. Must be places, names, nothing made up. Can’t use own name for boy/girl’s name question. If can’t answer, skip to next one.

It was an ordinary morning, I was about to leave for office, but as usual, I would switch on my aquarium light and feed a little to my fish. They just woke up and swimming around, some rushing for food.
I was observing the Diatom condition in my tank, apparently my Popeye (Octocinclus) didn’t really do [...]

As of 11/12/2007 when I came back to office from the weekend, I noticed that the final surviving fish was now, as the old saying, embraced heaven with a rendezvous with God. It also marked the end of the lousy guppy era for me, after a merely one week surviving period in my care (or [...]

This is the 3rd time my eyes got swollen, oh Sh8t!
The first time was around August 06, second time I think it was December 06, and almost a year later, here is comes the third time. I didn’t actually do anything special, just a normal Monday, drank some soya milk, then off [...]

Yes, after a day I saw him with white spot, finally he couldn’t take it anymore and died, leaving me with no more guppy in the tank (the lousy guppies all died mysteriously). It is pretty sad because Golden Retriever was a pretty fish and very active, and it is said very hardy as well, [...]

This is the second choice of movie after Balls of Fury (BoF) was fully purchased, (even though BoF itself was a second choice :P) we came to the decision between 30 Days of Night and Azhagiya Tamil Magan. I think you don’t need me to make the choice for you right?
So the four of us [...]

After the last purchase at an aquarium shop, I requested for some free lousy guppy fish (those that without any color and normally are used to feed larger fish), at first the shopkeeper wanted to sell me a small cup for RM1, but I refused since I only asked for 2 small little fish, later [...]

It took me over 60 days to read Robinson Crusoe, but only merely 5 days on Disclosure, by Michael Cripton. The former is a classic, with lots of old style words and sentence structure, while the latter is much modern (1994) with related office atmosphere that I could have experienced. Hence it is an easier [...]
