Day 1 & Day 2

Kuching, Sarawak

9 Jan 2022 (Sunday), I bought 6 Molly fishes and 1 Borneo sucker out of impulse. 

Hua Ning Aquarium gives me a great offer and since it's Chinese New Year deals, I went there and check them out. The owner has a lot of fishes and they're all healthy fishes, along with bunny, roosters and aquarium plant. It is located at the side road, a personal housing before the shoplots. A very welcoming owner, might want to visit her shop again. 

I bought 2 small Raichu goldfish on 4 Jan 2022 after interview but died 2 days later with whitespot. It is very devastating. The big cause is probably I didn't condition the water properly. Therefore, I tried again this time with molly and tetras, along with Borneo sucker. 

I made a big mistake by not cleaning the sand residue so it was a whole white cloudy water, I tried my best to rinse it become clear but I was so tired so this is the best I can do. 

Day 1 

I conditioned it ketapang leaves, anti-chlorine and lava rocks (on the canister filter). My previous mistakes I have done to the small fish that I used a strong current flow filter that they couldn't handle the current and died. (Sorry fishes......) therefore, the new canister filter is the new one I bought today. As for my fishes, it is ready in conditioned water (Iodine + aquarium salt) at the other tank.

Day 2

I added Java Fern and other plant the next morning (which is today), check the pH level and move those huge pebbles around the plants.

How much does it cost so far? 
Java Fern RM15
Canister filter RM29.30 
Ketapang leaves RM2.00 
Chlorine 1L RM8.90
Tetra 10x RM2.80 = RM28.00
Molly x6 RM2.00 = RM10 (free 1)
Borneo sucker RM4.00
Food Tokyo Al Basm = RM7.50

Apparently, the shops I visited so far out of ketapang leaves. I need to get them on hands because it is said almond leaves benefits greatly to freshwater fishes.

That's all for now, will be back update tomorrow.

Day 6

 So today I move the fishes into the main.  It was so pretty! And also, I found out it is platty instead of guppy???? yeah  so today count as Main Tank, Day 1. They are so pretty, I guess i gonna put a little bit more of the fishes later 

Day 4

 Kuching, Sarawak.  Today I wake up on 7.30am to check on the fish tank pH level. Nonetheless, they all looking great. I try to make every tank has the same pH level so that the fish wouldn't shock when they go into the main tank. Here lies the problem, the main tank has higher pH level compared to their quarantine tank, which is worrisome. My almond leaves are out of stock too now. Most of the shoplots have no stock too.  Day 4 I added java moss today. I'm very bad at planted aquarium so I bought the one attached to the woods. Also, I made an excel for my fish keeping notes too.
