Frequently asked questions
By Alfa Low, aquascaper. 2nd place, 2019 aquascaping competition (event name to confirm) · 2023 entry (result to confirm).
Do you deliver in Singapore, and how much is it?
Yes, we deliver within Singapore only. In this prototype, delivery is S$8 and free for orders from S$80 (sample policy, to be confirmed). Equipment usually arrives in 1–3 working days.
How are live plants shipped?
Live plants are dispatched Monday to Thursday so they are not stuck in transit over the weekend, packed moist in bags. Some leaf melt after transit is normal for crypts (sample policy).
Do I need CO₂ for a planted tank?
No. Anubias, Bucephalandra, Java fern, crypts and most mosses grow well without CO₂. Add CO₂ if you want fast growth, dense carpets or red stem plants.
What are the best plants for beginners?
Anubias nana Petite, Bucephalandra, Java fern, Cryptocoryne wendtii and Java or Christmas moss. They are low light, need no CO₂ and tolerate Singapore room temperature.
How do I care for new aquarium plants?
Tie or glue epiphytes (anubias, Bucephalandra, Java fern) to wood or rock instead of burying the rhizome, plant stems and crypts in aqua soil, run lights 6–7 hours a day at first and change 30–50% of the water weekly.
Will plants survive Singapore room temperature?
Most easy plants are fine at 28–30 °C. Carpets such as Monte Carlo and HC Cuba prefer cooler water, so use a clip-on fan or a chiller for those.
Do you sell fish or shrimp?
No. We do not ship livestock. Cycle your tank for 4–6 weeks, then buy fish or shrimp from a local shop you can visit.
Are the prices and stock real?
Not yet. This site is a prototype: products, prices and stock are samples and checkout is simulated, so nothing is charged.
