Sorry that i do not take enought photo in this section, this is because either my old camera cant take a good shoot or i was so amazed by all of the creatures and forgot to take photo. There are more animals in this sections like, Souhth American Coati, all sort of insects, and Frog life cycle exhibit as well.

So after that i proceed to the level 2, where the real excitement getting started.

 and the fishes are very happy and healthy.

After "The Coast", there is a small Butterfly House right before the Oceanarium. Inside the Butterfly House, you can closeup with so many butterfly...that is great! And one of the special feature of this Butterfly House is the room temperature is maintained in around 27'C to ensure the Butterfly live healthy and happily.

I like to touch Butterfly.

My Aquria KLCC journey started at around 1pm...

The first part of Aquaria KLCC is the Piranha Tank, just right after the entrance. I was just took a small glance of it T.T...because i get attracted by the Touch Pool O.O, which is a tank designed in DNA structure shape. It allow me to upclose with the Reef Creature. I was so excited to touch each of them!

 DNA Touch Pool

 I have no idea why they keep moving in the tank non-stop, but i am sure i was disturbing them that time. HAHA XD

 The soft cute sea cucumber~

Well explained of the creatures by demonstrator. So i try to touch this...Bamboo Shark~!

it is so obedient when i touch it, just like a cat. 

 It looks like a fake one? Believe me, this is real Starfish. 

(But not the one with blue and orange, those are fake.)

After have fun touching them, so i go to the next tank...the Electric tank! 

 Curious?? Yeah, lets see whats inside the tank...

 O..O Electric...Electric Eel! (Electrophorus electricus) its scientific name cool right? electro...electric~
Seriously, i have no idea why it is so cute (although others might says it is so ugly.)

 it do move its big body when i come near, perhaps it is welcoming me??

Too bad is i can't see the feeding of electric eel, as it only feed on every Monday, Wednesday & Saturday (11.15am), so i move on to the next station. Next stations are "The Stream" & "Jewels of the Jungle", its all about the creatures of the fresh water and the land-bound animals.

Aquarium hobbiest's favourite show!

YES!! it is "Tanked"!!! one of the best aquarium hobbiest or aquarist 's favourite reality show is here!

I really enjoy this show, especially when they receive any new order and how they handle with different challenges to statisfy the customer needs. And so what make me so excited is they build tanks with unique concept which out of the blue~ (how unique?! please watch it! there are a lot of vid in youtube)

One of the happy thing is, more people are getting interested aquarium or tank hobby (no matter saltwater or freshwater tank)!! And i hope this interest can heat-up in Malaysia as well~

However, i still feel like they should show more educational component in "Tanked", like the caring tip for aquarist, how to build up our own tank, DIY tank, and ect...

The picture below are the fish Tank from TANKED!

Huge one~!


Imagine my bedroom with this beautiful tank....oh my gosh!


"Ting! Ting! Ting!" pinball machine aquarium~

 I <3 AQUARIUM~ BLUP BLUP BLUP~

Green Ball in your Aquarium?

Wondering what is this cute "Green ball" floating in the aquarium?
This is MARIMO~ the Moss Ball! and it is FUN!


It can be purchase in large aquarium store~!
imagine how cute your aquarium become when you have them with beautiful fishes...

How to take care if marimo?

- it can be grow in tap water at room temperature (but don't be lazy to get your tank water changed every 1 or 2 weeks time, it help the growth of marimo)

- normal aquarium lighting is enough to them for photosynthesis (or indirect sunlight, since the marimo is only adapted to low light conditions)

Will it grow fast?

- it depends, with sufficient nutrient and clean water, it grow faster

- remember your aquarium with water movement for your cute marimo, as they keep rolling around and hope their shape~

- be patient...

If you have one or more in your tank, please do share us more~ 

^^HAVE FUN^^
