Japanese breeder
I am so inspired by this photo.. But I can only remain inspired due to space constraint. Sigh...
Take some time to look through this blog, though it's Japanese, it's rather inspiring to see the photos she posted. Ya, a she.. And husband is helping her with most DIY stuffs.

Fishy Fishy
Random fish post... My current fish tank...
My most greedy guppy... It's the only baby from my old guppy that is currently resting in heaven..
It's not pregnant. It's fat.. FAT. Grabbing the green pea and have it all to itself... I need to read up on how to slim down my guppy... X_X;;
My latest fish.. Badis Badis or Darios Darios... First time fed it with brine shrimp baby.. they love it! :D Oh yea, my DIY brine shrimp hatchery was a success! So easy to get the hatched baby from the bottom out from the balloon stick and drain them on a brine shrimp net. Will try to make another tutorial for it soon.. I hope... :P

Shrimps photos
Some random photos of my shrimps... ;)
An odd looking Cherry Shrimp that came in a big packet.. It was meant to be a cleaning crew in the fish tank but it got berried! Despite the tank remain a 28-31°C Most of the time. However, this odd looking mama seems to be dead.. haven't been seeing her.. and quite a few berried shrimps died in this fish tank and I wonder why..
Here's a photo of the first baby shrimp I spotted that was breed in my tank! :D
One super red shrimp mama.. :D Looks like little lobster!
No.. they aren't mating.. just fighting for food.. :P

DIY brine shrimp hatchery!
Just created this in an hour ago..
Items required:
- 2 big soda bottle, best without much groove so that the brine shrimp doesn't get stuck on the grooves
- 1 balloon stick (hollow ones)
- 1 2way connector
- air tube
- drilling tool
First, take 1 soda bottle and cut the top away to act as a stand for 2nd bottle as the 2nd bottle will be upside down.
Take the 2nd bottle and drill 2 holes, one preferably by the middle, in order to insert the balloon stick and keeping it straight. 1 could be by the side or on the bottom too.. But since I was drilling via manual drilling, I choose to drill the 2nd hole by the side as it is much thinner and easier.
Then insert the balloon stick and push it all the way in and touch the bottle cap. This is to ensure that the bubbles reaches the bottom and create movements for the brine shrimp egg.
Insert the 2way connector at the 2nd hole. You can choose to seal them but since I had it quite fitting, I am skipping the sealing part.
To use this hatchery, fill the bottle with the salt solution and brine shrimp egg, connect the airtube on the balloon stick and watch it bubbles!
When harvesting, unhook the airtube from the balloon stick and connect it on the 2way connector and watch the hatched brine shrimp being pushed out from the balloon stick. Of course, you have to add a tube to the balloon stick and collect the shrimps via a coffee filter bag so you could rinse your shrimps and feed them to your fishes!
Pardon for the lack of step by step photos. Forgot to take them when doing it. Will update with more photos if there's a need or if I am going to do another one.

New fishes! Dwarf Badis Badis (Darios Darios)
Bought these cute little fellow on 7th Sept from Wu Hu Aqaurium! They are like such a cute tiny little shy fellows with wonderful colour.. In quarantine now..
But, to find out that they don't appreciate flake food. ＿|￣|○||||
Therefore.. I need to hatch brine shrimps again.. Haven't been hatching them for quite some time.. Guess the fishes in my main tank will get to benefit too!
