I haven't seen Krill in my nearby LFS, but I have bought some frozen brine shrimp, which totally doesn't catch their interest :( sometimes they do not even bother about my frozen bloodworms too unless I start wriggling it around >.< I tried to keep snails in a container, but they got so ...

Re: Hello from Singapore. Accidental Figure 8 owner!

From Singapore as well! :) got 2 dwarfs in a regular dispenser jar now with a few prawns and an air stone, a plant and a barrel deco piece from Daiso. Not really the best, but it's what I can provide at the moment. They've been with me for almost a week now! One's Sinky and one's Foody. Foody is sma...
