Channa Lucius Forest Snakehead

After a week of no predator fish, I decide to find another predator fish to fill the big Aquarium. There's some P. Bass and Datz and I still got trauma for that fish so I decide not to buy that. And then, I found this little guys. Channa Lucius a.k.a Forest Snakehead. I got a thing for this Channa but because I got Fahaka Puffer at that time, I didn't buy any cause I'm afraid there will be bloodbath. But now, I bought them to fill my Aquarium so it's not very empty. And here they are.

Aquascape Update: Guppies and Red Fire Shrimps

Freshwater World Museum Teaser

Went to Freshwater World Museum at Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. It's awesome place to see and very interesting to find some new fish in there. Although, I kinda have a Question do they really maintaining the fish and all? Anyway, the video will be release as part by part so you can see which fish that you really want. It will be released on each sunday until it finished so just wait and enjoy the teaser.

Black Choco Shrimp

Black Choco shrimp is the first shrimp that I put in my Aquascape. Just look at that color. Not just black, but also Chocolate. But this is not a perfect one cause if you see others, there's one which have full Black Choco on the body. Anyway, please enjoy :3

Pygmy Corydoras in my Aquascape

I bought Pygmy Corydoras! This little fella is cute and a prefect type for Aquascape because of their small size. They size only at 0.75 inches (2.1cm) but some also said they can be the size of 1.2 inches (3cm) so they are perfectly fine with the Shrimps (Except for the baby one, so you better heay plant the place). pH range from 6.0 to 8.0pH and temperature from 22 - 26°C. It's easy to maintain and good additional fish!

Aquascape: Underwater Candi

So I'm doing Aquascape again. It's not very mature yet, it's still few days. But I think it will be grow lovely. The fish that I have right now is Rasbora Galaxy and Black Choco Shrimp. Here's the video about. Enjoy it :D

Neon Red Crayfish

I bought 5 Neon Red Crayfish for feeding the puffer, but turn out, I keep 3 of them. You see, I once have a Crayfish before and the were Tiger Papua. They are beauty and magnificent thing, I really love them. And then, accident happen and I decided to not keep them anymore. But now, here I am, taking 3 Crayfish, one is Male, two is Female. I hope they can lay egg so I don't have to buy them anymore :3

Yoyo Loach (Botia India)

My Aquarium got infestation by Trumpet snails!! It's annoying as vermin! So I thought I buy some Yoyo Loach to deal the problems. And now here we are, Yoyo Loach! Or in Indonesia, we called Botia India.

Bad news, good news. Betta Fish

Bad News: My old Betta that I put it in with Community fish tank died because he got bully by Red Scat and Rainbowfish. Really, really depressing.

On the Other hand

Good news: Bought new Betta Fish and and this time, in his own Aquarium. Happy for me cause I found the best one, hapy for the fish cause he is now in it's own Aquarium.

If you can't, don't.

Why do I say this? Is there a reason why I write the theme like this? Is it  really important to people to read what I'm gonna write about? For you some people, yes it might waste your times. But for us Aquarium Hobbies, it's an important matters to us.

Red Eye Red Tail Puffer Fish. Cute little bugger. Having them for 2 years.

I was watching some YouTube video when suddenly, one of the YouTube video show that the youtubers (The one who filming and do the talk and the uploading) rejecting some costumer to buy a fish from his store. Now, in term of the business, this is a bad choice. Why? For them, costumers are the king from their Point of View, and they willing to give some fish or valuable to them without thinking what the consequences are. But in the point of view of fish lovers and the clerk store are loving their fish, this is acceptable and of course I will support them if they don't wanna sell their fish to them. The reasons? The costumers do not intended to care the fish nor loving them.

Hoplo Catfish, one of my oldest catfish I ever had. 3 years and counting.

One point that I need to say in here. Fish are not a thing, you don't own them, you not their master, you are their caretaker. Owning means you own thing that not living like a phone, a laptop, a figure, and other thing that usually we used. Master means you own them and expect a return as a favors. If you remember the Dolphins who been used as a circus entertainment, that's what master definition means. You are not one of them. What the fish need is a caretaker, and that's what we are. The same as a dog, the same as a cat, the same as a birds.

Dwarf Rainbowfish

Why am I'm saying this? Some people do really think that fish doesn't have feeling even though they are alive, they think taking care the fish is easy as flipping your egg from your pans, and it's only a fish. They are wrong. Like I said, they are living things, they can breathe and move like us, and they of course have some feeling on them. They can be stress, they can be happy, they can be sulky, all of it can be seen through their body, their movements, and their colors. And also, who doesn't like to see fish who so energetic they always swim a lot. It's a stress reliever if you see them swimming happily. So if you not taking care of them, for what then?

Beta Fish Dragon Scale. Lovely fella.

Fish is magnificent living things. From their behaviors, their colors, their looks, even my aunt fascinate by Rasbora Galaxy as how tiny they are compare to the other fish. People usually want this fish and taking care of them are the most top priority for all for their health and their happy face. Be it they are saltwater fish or freshwater fish. Because if you don't taking care of them, they may die fast or got sick easily. So people, please do not buy the fish if you don't wanna care for them. If you can''t, don't.

Kartini Fish store

Kartini Fish store is one of the many LFS in Indonesia which have unique fish and somehow, it became cleaner than the previous one and more safety. Why I said previous one? Well, I will put 2 of my Videos here. One is longer but it show the old Kartini and one is the new one after ther do relocation to normalize the Ciliwung River. Enjoy the videos :-D

L270 Pleco video

Just a 3 minutes with the L270 Plecos. But still, it's kinda miracle that I got this Plecos. They are so cute and for the first time, I fell in love with them. I just hope that I didn't cross the border for this. Well, Hobby is expensive thing actually, so yeah, I maybe throw a lot of money for this ;D Anyway, enjoy the vids kay? :3

Changing the water

Changing the water is a must for many Aquarium Hobbyist. The reason is to change the water on the Aquarium that consist of Amonia, Nitrate, and some "Bad" Bacteria with the new fresh water that consist of nothing. I didn't use the tap water, I'm using the water straight from the ground. However, because it's straight from the ground, the water is kinda murky and brown-color. Luckily my mom install some filter to do the Job which after that, it stored in the water tank. So I don't have any problem with that. While mostly people just changing the water only by using some water that have been stay for weeks or a day because of the tap water or someone like me, I usually add something to the Aquarium. They are Salt Aquarium and Bio-Eco-Water powder. How they work, you can see them all in theis video. Enjoy :-D

How it's started . . .

Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Dimas Dwiputranto and I'm a Otaku, Gamers, but also a Aquarium Hobbyist. It maybe a little strange that Otaku myself really like Aquarium fish, but no, it's the truth. Not all Otaku are Otakuish. They do often have other hobbies than anime, and I'm the other one. So, why this Otaku got a hobbyist as Aquarium lovers? Here's the stories how it began.

My Lovely Aquarium

So the day I began to become Aquarium Hobbyist is when I went to visit my Friend Bimo who at the time before I move out, are my Neighbor and my Childhood friend. I always visit his house either to play or to throw him upside down. And then, when I get in the house, there I saw. 4 stack Aquarium, with plants and the fish on it. I was on awe to see that and I really want to have on of it, thus, it began, my journey to the unknown of the Aquarium Hobbyist.

Thus, my journey is begin

My first Aquarium is a box-like Aquarium that I bought at Ace Hardware. It have nice filter system and I just have to assemble it. And my first fish? Is Angelfish and Neon Cardinal which after a few month earlier, I learn that Angelfish are not friendly with Neon Cardinal. The second Aquarium is a 30cm long Aquarium (You can see at the pic above). It's more bigger than my first Aquarium and also my first attempt on Aquascape which end as a failure. I was kinda mad at my failure and I threw all the plants and do the fish only, which is also became a disastrous. I also make the old Aquarium to become Shrimp only, but the Algae strike make my shrimp all die. But I determined to be able make a decent Aquarium that me and my family can enjoy it together. Thus, my Mom bought me a 150cm Aquarium, a gigan Aquarium.

The Gigan Aquarium!

At that time, my Mom said to me to decorate it as green as possible and I do it until all the Aquarium are flourish with greens! But at that time, I forgot to add the lamp and my Mom believe that the sun would eventually reach the Aquarium even it was in the middle of the rooms. We were so much wrong. All the plants are withering, they become unhealthy, and I became very depressed. I don't know what I have to do with it. At that time, I was rage, angry, and almost smash the Aquarium. Until, the Predator fish came into my life.

My first Predator Fish, Florida Gar

I once saw this fish when I saw them at LFS near Pondok Indah Mall which already shit down. The staff said it's a Gar and it capable to breath without an airstone and it's carnivore. At first, I was curious at them so bought 2 of them. As I heard they are carnivorous, I hate to get them something to eat. Luckly, at the LFS, they sell feeder fish. So I give them that and they are happily eat it. I was astonish by it. Whats more, it doesn't need any plants in there cause naturally, there's no plants on their environment so I was so happy about it. However, I have to change the water 50% and at that time, the hose is at my mom garden and I kinda lazy to take it so I do it with bucket which it's damn tired. Eventually, I don't have any money to buy their foods and I have to sold them. But, predator fish really awesome and that's when I met Puffers.

The Red Tail Red Eye Puffer

Puffers are cute little fella, of big fella since I have Red Tail Red Eye Puffers and Fahaka Puffers. They were curious little fella who always get near to me whenever I see them in the Aquarium. My first Puffers were GSP. This is common puffers they all LFS always sell. And then, I bought Samurai Puffers and the Milk Spotted Puffers. The GSP, Samurai Puffers, and MSP die for some reason which I still dumbfounded, while the other like Red Eye and Fahaka still alive to this day. Although, this is the 4th Fahaka I try to nurture them from the day when they are still small. It give me a very pleasure feeling that I successfully grow him up! And for they Red Eye, I once have 4 of them but because of the lack of the Aquarium space, they're are only 2 of them now and both of them are female. I kinda regret why I didn't change the Aquarium back then. But past is past and I have to move forward from it. And now, in the presents. I found the L270 Plecos.

L270 Pleco. A new addition to Fish tanks, and new love.

How I become fall in love with Plecos? That will be another tale to be told. And so, that's my history of me became Aquarium Hobbyist. In this blog, I will rant for once a week but sometime, I will upload some videos from my youtube channel for you guys to check them out. Here's the link to my channel:
