I had some tropical ones with under water plants few years ago. I got lazy and now only keep a very simple one with any pump or any equipment. The fish bowl is in my toilet. :)

I will upload some pic later.

Some old pictures

It was very difficult to take these two pictures.

The setup of the first bowl was maintained for about 1 year. The bowl broke so I setup another one.

This picture was taken on 13-Feb-2006. It was after 2 weeks after initial setup?

More random pictures.

There is no filter, pump, co2 whatsoever. I don't even bother to change water after a few months, just add water, turn on the light every night, and add food every few days.

The whole thing is sitting at the back of the guest toilet in my home. The system is still going strong today, although does not look too nice now. One of the fishs - a Golden Mustache, has survived 3 years and still very active.

No problem, tell me when you need it.....

with this system, you don't need to change water, so keep aquarium should be fun, not as the maid for them (like changing water everyday...)

I just finished processing the pictures. And I am very glad to have about 10 good ones from about 50. I was expecting a very low success rate.

I would like to share some of these pics with my friends. I will post the pictures in the public "General Area", so my friends can see them without needing to access this private area. I hope that's OK with Charles.

We went my friend's office to take picture of his fish tanks.

This trip we only had time to take photo of the salt water tank. The lighting condition wasn't very ideal, so we decided to make another visit when the nice strong lights are available. In the mean time, I am happy to have some nice shots of corals in his tank.

Nice.

With proper light and a good tripod, the pictures already turned out very good.

It seems the little bubbles are still there. But this is a easy problem - you can just turn off for a few min to take pictures.

Another very nice one. Charles told me the name but I have forgotten...

The 2nd pic is the magnified view of part of the 1st pic.

Title: Re: anyone keeping fishes at home???
Post by: chin on 09 September 2009, 23:53:49
The 1st one was also photographed the last time.

The 2nd one perhaps wasn't there the last time. Or maybe the light at the lower right corner was too dim the last time...

The 3rd picture is a coral sitting on the 'hill'.
Title: Re: anyone keeping fishes at home???

I made versions of the pictures from this time and the last into 1280 pixel width, so people in your office can have the bigger pic for screen background. If the screen width is different size, please let me know.

I just visited some Nemo farms in Thai, I found out that if all other marine tropical fishes can breed like Nemo, then keeping an aquarium at home would be really easy, coz after testing in my own tanks, these artifically propagated Nemo can easily adapt our tank environment, and the most important thing is they are "bateria-free"...i.e. we don't need to do any quarantine work and can direct into the tank after their adapting the new temperature...

How come they are "bacteria-free"?
It's specific to can-breed or they own quality control procedures?
Title: Re: anyone keeping fishes at home???
Post by: chanchiwai on 04 February 2010, 00:36:50
well, when I said bacteria free, it's not 100% free of all bacteria...what I mean is that since they are not born in natural ocean and the harboring environment (the fish tank) is already free of most diseases, like white spot, fungi....so when customers buy them, such kind of Nemo can simply adapt the new (or change) temperature, and no need to "experience" the quarantine procedure which is a touture to marine fish coz the first thing first of quanantine procedure is putting the marine fish in fresh water, you can imagine how the fish feels...

So, I dream some days later if the scientists can discover how to breed all marine fishes in lab / artificial environment, then keeping marine aquarium would be really simple & care-free... at the moment, certain corals (particular hard coral) can asexually propagated already...

I see. So the small fishes do not need to go through the quarantine procedure when migrating to the eventual tank.

I was thinking about what you told me the other day about the margin of the breeders. Perhaps their cost structure is very heavy on fixed cost?! Thus the margin on variable cost may be high, but after factor in the fixed overhead, the overall margin is reasonable but not too outrageous. At least not on a long term basis. Otherwise there will be lots of capital going into the business.

Waw, looks very cool.

I like the one on top.

We are moving office mid next year, and should have much bigger space. I would like to buy one like the 1st one.  :)

About 8 months ago I said when we move to the new office, we would like to get a nice free standing tank like the one in your picture.

Our plan has grown a bit more ambitious - we would be hiring a designer to build an aquascape (mainly grass, with some small fish, so the focus is the grass composition). Something like the below. The tank would be build into decorative wall, instead of free standing.

If you plan to have a landscape tank, you have to learn more about it, particular one brand named ADA.

Last September, I went to their showroom in Japan, which everybody says it as the Pilgrimage....

Aqua Design Amano, it's a premium brand of tanks & supplies in aquascape.

They sponsor a worldwide competition every year. Eric Cheng has got some good results in the last few years. That's the reason I contacted him for our office aquascape.

You said you have friends who do aquascape, please let me know the contact info.

Ask your tech guy to setup such that livelikeafish.com would work also, then you can have a shorter & cleaner URL.
