FISH TANK PART ONE.

Hey 4g,we've finally cleared all our re-exams! The 'O' levels aren't excatly very far away, the time we have left is really very short and we should all start to study already, for every subject!

Anyway, MsMah said to collect your SPA files from her locker. But, we need to bring the P-power and Acid SPA worksheets;she said she'd post more information on the gessportal. But just try to bring them ASAP cos fyi,we haven't done our tagging yet either..

School is opening soon, on Monday to be exact, remember to do your homework,try to chiong the last few days, cause i think not many actually did anything(like me) :D Last thing, as requested by KaiLeun(who said he loves fishes Oo) i'm gonna post the pictures of the fish i'm thinking of putting in the tank:

First of all,everyone wanted tigers,dolphins,whales.. I can't give any of those,but i can give you a shark:

Meet the Red-tailed Black Shark. This is a really really beautiful fish(and it's a shark,really. It's in the shark family) But it grows to quite a large size,both the sharks do. And it's rather aggressive, so if you want to keep this fish,we can't use tetras, but tiger barbs(picture later/next time) But i'm not even sure if i can find it. Not manyt shops sell, i may have to find a substitue(which looks rather identical).


Meet the Bala Shark. This shark i can find! And it's rather small, about 4-5cm and it's only for $1.50. But this shark grows to around 36cm, and rather quick. What i suggest is to put this shark in the school pond once it out-grows our tank(Then we'll always have a part to play in the eco-pond! haha) Fyi,this shark isn't agressive,so most fish can co-live with this beautiful creature.

If we have a red-tailed shark,i suggest having tiger barbs and clown loaches. Because tiger barbs are agressive as well, so no one party will suffer. Clown loach,so i've heard,is able to co-live with the Red-Tailed Black Shark, so it's a pretty good choice of a bottom-feeder:

Meet the Tiger Barb! (it's somewhat a tiger,like jiansheng said,lol) It's quite an agressive fish. And they look rather nice. Plus,there's more than one type of Tiger Barbs. If we decide to keep a shark,i suggest this fish. But with other community fish(aka tetras) i'd rather not. They'd attack the other fishes.



Meet the clown loach! This is another fish that can grow rather big. But i think it takes a good 30years for it to grow up to it's maximum size,30cm. I've had experience of this fish jumping out of the tank,so need to be careful. But it's a good community fish, and i heard it doesn't fight with the Red-Tailed Black Shark, so it's a pretty good option. But this fish may be a little expensive. However, i think it's colours would suit the tiger barbs and they'll look nice together.


Besides this,i was planning to add REAL plants into the class tank.



It may take some mantaining,but it'll look nicer. But then it'll take a lot of time,i may need people to help me. Doing everything alone sometimes can be quite depressing.. kay,bye.
