It’s almost been 4 weeks already since I last finished setting up my mini planted aquarium. When you are seeing it everyday, there are much changes that you can see, as if there is no change at all. But after putting the photo from the very first time and the current photo side to side, then I realized there are quite substantial changes that happened.

4 weeks ago

Current

CO2 fertilization and good light do make the plants in my aquarium grows rapidly. There is not much open space left for the fishes to swim and roam freely. I think it’s time to trim those plants.

I don’t consider I’m doing aquascaping here. Aquascaping is art, and Imran + Art = Disaster. I just simply get a pair scissor, and cut those long stem.

After cutting here and there, this is the final look of my mini planted aquarium now.

Aaahhhh.. More open space now for my fishes to swim around and chasing each other (especially my Zebra Danio).

Today, I just got final fishes that I will put into my mini planted aquarium. This small tank seems crowded already, therefore this will be the final fish stockup.

I haven’t got bottom dwellers yet for this aquarium where I have Panda corydoras for my previous aquarium. This time, I still get corydoras, and the are Julii corydoras. And another fish that I get is green fluorescent Japanese Rice Fish (Oryzias latipes). That should complete my community tank.

The video below shows a busy hour in my aquarium at dinner time. The video was taken just right after I release the julii corydoras and japanese rice fish to the aquarium after acclimating them. It will be lights off after that, and I’ve put air stone in advance.

I just came back from watching Lady In The Water movie at GSC Mid Valley.

At first, I thought this is going to be another boring heavy movie, but only after 10 mins the movie starts, one after another interesting events take place in the movie. I have to say this is just another great epic from M. Night Shyamalan.

It’s about a character from bedtime story who is trying to find a way back home. And in a typical bedtime story, there are good characters and evil characters. The evil characters in this story is really scary, and there are a few scenes that makes you jump out of your seat. A must watch I must say.

And again, thanks to Mr Farihad for the free tickets. I’ve been watching a numbers of free movies already, courtesy of him give me a free ticket from Poseidon to Superman to Pirates of the Caribean to Dorm. Thanks man ;)

Artist  :  Siti Nurhaliza Song  :  Biarlah Rahsia Album  :  Transkripsi

Pernahkah kau bermimpi seketika
Berada di tempatku
Membayangkan pahit manis berlalu
Entah siapa yang tahu

Mungkin nanti kau jua merasakan
Berdepan dengan kata yang menyesakkan
Takkan tugumu kebal
Tiada pertimbangan

Keheningan malam membangunkan
Kepayahan jiwa meluahkan
Andai kau jujur memahami
Tiada ku menjauhi

Dan kisahku yang masih panjang
Menambahkan berat yang memandang
Lantas ku pendam
Ku putuskan biarlah rahsia

Semakin aku hidup dalam cinta
Tiada kuasa mampu menghalangnya
Hentikan kata-kata
Bertulangkan dusta
Pernahkah kau bermimpi seketika
Berada di tempatku

Setiap ada kamu mengapa jantungku (ini)
Berdetak lebih kencang
Seperti genderang mau perang

Setiap ada kamu mengapa darahku (ini)
Mengalir lebih cepat
Dari ujung kaki ke ujung kepala

Setiap ada kamu otakku berpikir
Bagaimana caranya
Untuk berdua bersama kamu

Reff:
Aku sedang ingin bercinta
Karena mungkin ada kamu disini
Aku ingin
