Mickey Mouse Fish

So there were two fished survived. I guess the root cause was from the insufficient oxygen level in the fish tank. We then decided to buy more. This time we bought the Mickey Mouse Fish instead.

We were trying to buy the Burn-Tail Rose fish just like before, but the seller said all the fish was not well. I saw only a few left in the tank comparing to last week that we bought them. Another assumption is that the fish may not be well at the time we bought them last week. So they died.

About the Mickey Mouse fish, we were wondering where the name were from. But if you look closely at the bottom of the tail, you would know why it was named Mickey Mouse. Look at the black spot and see for yourself. You'll understand what I mean.

Fish keeps dying

Bad news. The new fishes that we had from the weekend start dying again. Last night 6 of them died.

I decided to clean the fish tank and replace the water without using any medicated solutions. I moved the tank to outside the room just to avoid the temperature drop during the turn-on of air-cond.

Still bad news. Another 5 died. Now all my suspicious go to the oxygen. The seller told me that the water filtering machine was enough to put oxygen into the tank. One of the fish jumped out of the tank to die. I beleived this was from the lack of air.

So I asked my son to go and buy an Oxygen pump this morning. We will see how it goes. Hope I picked the right thing to solve the problem.

Fish in the AV Room

Last weekend, we bought the whole set of fish tank and accessories. We had a school of fish. The Neon fish was a little fish from Amazon river in South America. The seller sold us many of the chemicals to use with the fish.

During the first few days, the fish survived well. We raised them in the living room where we turn on the air-cond. a few hours a day in the evening. However, our fish start to die. So we went to consult the seller again. They just sold us a few more anti-bacterial and the anti-chlorinated solution. the next day after the dropping of those chemical, all of our neon fish died. The whole school.

The seller was surprised as they were in business for over 20 years and never found such thing like that. They agreed to replace the whole school. We decided to switch the fish to the burn-tail Rose fish (I might be wrong on the name as I translated it from Thai name.)

This time I also install the thermometer to see how the temperature swing during the day and during the cooling time with air-cond. The fish is living hapily. The seller still insist to use those chemicals. I did it carefully. No overdose. Use precise droplet and measurement.

Singapore Flyer

I just had a chance to visit Singapore for the Comunique Asia forum. Nothing much to say about the exhibition. On the freeday before flying back, I just had a chance to visit the new Singapore Flyer. It's located in the Marina bay area. Just see the picture for yourself for the explanation.
