Why this blog? A little about me....

Firstly, I'll like to really thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time to visit my simple blog.

Secondly, a little background about myself. I've been attracted into this wonderful, attractive yet addictive hobby more than 7 years ago. I start off with a slim tank which the width was so small that fishes had a hard time turning around!!!

I moved on to acquiring a new fish tank which was more spacious, about 60 gallons if I still remember correctly. I started out keeping normal easy-to-keep tropical fishes like tetras and then venturing into planted tanks.

It was indeed an interesting journey learning a lot about the natural process of having plants in an aquarium without any air pump which provides oxygen instead, feeding the tank with lots of carbon dioxide which was food for the plants!! It took me a while to gather necessary knowledge to keeping and maintaining a successful planted tank.

Then came this small but awesome fish called the Apistogramma!!! I was hooked the moment I saw it flaring itself against a female....Man!! I took the fetal step and fell into the deepest hole I could ever get myself into!! I tried keeping my hands off this fish for a year but I failed, having to return to keeping and eventually breeding this wonderful fish, aim is to produce the best quality of this particular species in Singapore.

Apistogramma Cacatuoides "Triple Red"

Now, I would like to share my knowledge and help as many people as possible, guiding them into this therapeutic hobby which guarantees to relieve stress after a day's work!! Post your comments and questions, I'll answer them for you!!
