Importance of Water Conditioner

Many people who have aquariums, often forgot about adding water conditioners before adding tap water into their beloved aquarium. Fishes and other invertebrates are pretty sensitive to chlorine and toxic heavy metals present in the water.

Water conditioners immediately bind harmful heavy metal ions and neutralises aggressive chlorine.

Sera Aquatan is ideal for reducing stress during transport and introduction of fish.
It protects the mucous membrane of the fish due to its valuable vitamin B complex and skin protecting colloids.

Sera Toxivec/Aquatuner contains the innovative QuickClean Formula and immediately removes dangerous pollutants threatening fish and filter bacteria from the aquarium water. For aquariums with higher pollution levels, a higher dosage of Sera Toxivec/Aquatuner should be added 1 or 2 hours after the 1st dosage.

I often share that a bottle of water conditioner could save the lives of our beloved fish, rather than save this little expense and endangers our beloved little fish.

Enjoy the hobby!!

Turtle Mineral Blocks

Attention Turtle Keepers

I've received many enquiries on the poor health of turtles, like being restless, shell is soft or eye is swollen.

Following are common illness and remedies:

1) Soft Shell

- One mineral block should be placed in the water for the turtle to absorb calcium and minerals to strengthen their shell

- This should be placed after every water change

- Good food should be given. Beware of lesscommon brands as most food contain a lot of ash and not proper well-balanced diet with vegetables, fish meat and krill

2) Swollen Eye

- Resulted in Mosquito bite

- Use turtle eye drops to cure

3) Restless

- Lack of mates, lonely

- Lack of water area and dry area

Hope this little information helps.

Hungry Tilapias!!!

The REAL Garra Rufa aka Doctor / Spa Fish


Doctor Fish

Garra rufa has been known for over four hundred years as “Doctor fish”. In its natural habitat this fish feeds on small organisms that live within these thermal springs. However, in these hot springs, few organisms thrive and food for this fish is scarce. They have thus evolved to be curious creatures that would nibble on anything foreign introduced into the water in the hope of food. While nibbling, the fish exude a unique enzyme called dithranol (anthralin) which prevents fast development of cells from the skin, thereby alleviating Psoriasis.

Garra rufa is legally protected from commercial exploitation in Turkey due to concerns of over harvesting for export. As such this fish is not often seen in the aquarium trade.



The unscrupulous.


Recently, the healing properties of Garra rufa has been abused by unscrupulous businesses looking to deceive the public and cash-in on the hype. A quick search on the internet will show up a number of online hits claiming to be suppliers of “Garra rufa” especially from China. However, upon close observation, these fish end up being nothing like the real Garra rufa itself!
Most of what is on offer, seems to be juvenile Oreochromis niloticus (or hybrids of). Oreochromis niloticus is commonly known as common Tilapia in Malaysia! As hungry juvenile tilapia, this fish would swim in large numbers and would be bold enough to nibble on the arms and feet of people. However, no healing properties have ever been recorded from this species of fish nibbling on skin.
