Welcome to IAH Dilip; we're more eager to know what plants have you housed in your five tanks and their other details...

Hi all,
I am Madhu from Mangalore. I am into business and also into insurance and stock broking.
I have 2 aquariums. In one i have 2 Oscars and another one is a corner diamond shaped aquarium where i have planted plants. Since i am into this since last 6 months i am not an expert .
Since my plants werent growing well. i read from another site and i used DIY CO2 and am using a powerhead to diffuser. i am not sure if this is the right way to do it but where i live i dont get all the stuff required to maintain a palnted tank.
Joining this site i hope i will get all the information i need to maintain my tanks and also help from u guys.
thanks
madhu |

Hi Madhu,
Im yet another Madhu from salem. CO2 is always good for plants but plants do get stressed when there's trubulance in water and so powerheads are not advisiable to be used in planted tanks. |

Hi Madhu Kiran:
If you use Power Head, then use a rain bar connected at the outlet.
A rain bar is a simple DIY plastic pipe.
Get a pvc pipe to fit the outlet of the power head and drill small holes all along the pipe at equal intervals. On the other end of the pipe, use plug.
Now, water gushes out of the holes and doesn't cause too much turbulance
That's it!!
Bye, |

Hi All
I'm Venkatesh Duraiswamy, working as a Merchandise Manger in knitwear exports out of Tirupur. I'm from Chennai, and used to spend a lot of time with keeping and breeding dogs. At TPR, having to spend a lot of time on profession not been able to get into Dogs.
I started into Oscars because they were called Dogs of aquarium. I Got my pair of oscar last year, kept them in a 15 gallon, then setup a 100 gallon for them which broke (when it was under cycling - even before the fishes were let in). I compromised for a relativey smaller size 67 Gallons. But as a careless hobbyist in not keeping the hood on, i lost my Oscars jumping out.
From then on i couldn't really get hooked to any other oscar, then currently turned towards Flowerhorn. My aim right now is only to see a good quality flowerhorn, with a large hump, bright and intense colors, and thick body. |

Thanks for the intro Venki:
Sorry to hear the p(f)light of your Oscars... 
For the kind of FH that you're looking for, I think you should go to Singapore and try OR ask Adip to get one for you...

Hi Nag
As far as i know now, FHs are very popular in Indonesia and Philipinnes. Not really in S'Pore. It is estimated that there are around a million Fhs in Indonesia alone.Funny kind of strains these guys keep. The names are like
King of Golden Monkey
Desert Warrior
Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, rainbow Dragon
Golden Apple, Green Apple, Golden Green Apple
Super Red Shock
Orient Pearl
Oriental phoenix
BTW how can Adip help me in getting FH?? Does he breed or import FHs? |
