my 2ft tank houses:
- 1x big red
- 4x orange
- 2x frontosa
- 1x crown loach

Close up of Frontosa

Bear with my camera, i realised it is not easy to take aquarium shots, alot of “noise”.

Previously, i have 2 leopard suckers (L001 pleco) around 6″ – 7″ long; sadly they passed away after 1.5 years.

As for the parrots, i have kept them for more than 2 years. One thing for sure, parrot fish are quite hardy. There are times when i was burdened with work, no time to water change. Miraculously, they managed to survive, suffering from abit of fin rot. With a fresh water change, they become lively again, kissing each other, thus they are also known as “kissing” fish.

Besides parrots, there are 2 frontosa, which i bought it from Toa Payoh Lor 5 Aquarium Shop at quite a good deal. The 2 frontosa are burundi breed (6 stripes). With proper lighting, the tip of the fins will be luminous blue.

For aqua hobbist, my recommendation –
- Clementi Florist & Aquarium (5 out of 5 stars), good service, great deals and discounts. Click here
- Neo Kim Suey Aquarim (4 out of 5 stars), good service, specialised in Plecos. Click here
