This is not a painting. It is an art, para mi, of Nature. Algae.
(I know many of you are not yet familiar, but I used to post my expeditions and updates of my hobby, aquarium keeping. You can click here to see my chronicles and adventures related to this.)
The Sunday before my two-week adventure, that was 8th May, I cleaned my 4-foot biotope aquarium. From there, I knew I made a mistake. I emptied it close to 30% and poured in immediately with tap water. Chlorine. Yep. Just some 3o minutes after, I saw the effects of my hurry. I didn’t take the fish out, so, consequently, they started to become weak. I hastily transferred them into my spare tank. But it was late. Three angelfish and a Chinese algae eater died within that day.
I was already in the province when my brother informed me that the remaining two angelfish followed suit! Now the 4 feet tank is vacant from fauna except for the Malaysian trumpet snails. The fauna, Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia, which is so much prone to a condition called ‘crypt melt’, also died days after. (It happened when they experience too abrupt a change on their environment such as water parameters —brought by the huge partial water change.)

This was taken when I got back home. As expected, all the plants died.
