Hence the bigger tank.

Was given a baby black blue oranda and a biord.
had him for 5 years already. (Lt Shiny sides)

never really like the Biord but thought nothing more about it. had gold fish in a bowl when i was small and always think that gold fish doesn't live long.

Lt shiny sides turn 5 years old and i think it's about time for a bigger home for the old bot. a more comfortable life for his old age. didn't realise he is just in his mid life is he life to mature age.

got a tank from friend -75x30x30 cm.
hence, starting the new tank. just realise even that is not enough for him. can't have any bigger tank than that.
i know it is not ideal but it is definitely better than the biorb.

the shell is in the garden for years just as a decoration. i have washed and scrub it throughly. there are some long pointy edge. i will feel it later. if there are sharp, i will remove it. thanks for the advice.

i read the nitogen cycle from here. going through it just now. will test the water.

thanks for the advice

hi,
Setting up my tank for cold water fish. Can I use large sea shell in the tank for decoration? (not shell chips) would it be harmful for cold water fish in the long run?
