Peat Soil

Peat soil is used to reduce the pH of the water. Peat is made of composting material that gave the acidic pH to the water.

Some fish prefer acidic water rather than hard water. Most of the South American fish like to live in soft acidic water.

To use peat soil put in the water and wait for it to fall. Usually it takes about 2-3 days for it to fall. Once all of it settled down the water should be brown in color.

Snakehead (Channa Striata)

Channa Striata or haruan is one of the snakehead in Malaysia. Its colour its not striking or colourful but rather its behavior toward its owner.

With its aggresion and its snake-like mouth its bite can be devastating. Some rhave been reported that one bite and you can loose your finger.

This fish. is really nasty. This fish is really bad. It's really nasty and bad. But they taste really tasty.People like to roast or fried it. Some just make soup out of it.



Well you can see it although the water is greenish at the front. Some people catch it from some stinking swamp and just eat it.

For the conclusion this fish is very hardy and does not really need specific requirement. Just try to keep the water clean. All the best.
