Aquafair Malaysia 2010

Unfortunately I can't be there at the date said. What can I do... My job is more important. Today is the 2nd day of the Aquafair exhibition.


Aquafair normally was held once in 2 years time. After this maybe at 2012. Those who will be there can share their experience during the event.

Entrance fee for adult is RM10 while children RM5.

DISCUS FISH high tank WHY NEED A HIGH TANK ?

High fish tank for discus. (H)117cm (L)61cm (W)38cm. Water volume: Top tank 271 litres / bottom tank 106 litres. The open bottom design allow fish to move from top to bottom tank without restriction.

This tank is built due to breeder prefer very deep water depth ...... as they believe that the depth of water is important for the growth of high bodies. The high water depth theory is actually being practised by a lot of Hong Kong breeders and it is a small wonder that we see HK's discus having extremely high body.

With bigger volume of water chances of water getting foul is much lower. The amnonia level will definitely increase to a higher concentration rapidly with a smaller volume of water.

Massive cleaning is reduced and cleaning is also make simple. The submersible biological filter in used can be easily washed and taken out through the opening outlet at the bottom of the tank. Partial change of water, removing unwanted particles or placing of rocks / plants if require is carried out in the lower tank that include feeding.

SETTING UP AN AQUARIUM

Many of the elements in an aquarium, like the water, rocks, substrate and filtration systems, may consist of living matter like bacterial and algae, or chemical compounds which undergo biological processes and produce by-products that may either harm or benefit your fish.
Therefore, whatever you decide to use in your aquarium setup will have a bearing on how livable the habitat you've created for your fish will be, and consequently how happy or miserable they will be.
Before you go about acquiring items for your aquarium, consider their intended purposes, their suitability for your setup and the possible impact they might have on the aquarium's ecosystem.
The general rule is that the bigger is better. The bigger tank holds a greater volume of water and provides more living space for your fish. But what's is important is that in the event of any deterioration in the water parameters, the resulting impact will be more dilute and there is a better chance of detecting problems that may follow. LOOK A tall, narrow tank looks more dramatic. But, cleaning it if this tank is upright with rocks and plant at the bottom is a problem.

So the tall and narrow OPEN BOTTOM tank will make removing of dirt and cleaning more easily through the opening outlet.
