After 2 week I add the CO2 tank for my nano tank...
The plant grow a lot... especially the Java moss & Blyxa Japonia from Tenchi, both grow 2X faster.
Later will take some photo of my plant tank.

CO2 Tanks added
Actually today I go to KW to buy the Hang on Filter motor due to filter motor burn last 2 day.
When I reach fish shop, the motor out of stock and need wait restock.
As a result, I went to other fish shop at Farlim to check CO2 tank price.
They only have 2L CO2 tank and price still acceptable so I decide to have it with solenoid regulator + bubble counter + difusser.
Now I success equip the CO2 tank, hope can help my plant grow faster.
I am still setting it up... because this is my 1st time use CO2 tank.

My Papiliochromis ramirezi (荷兰凤凰短鲷)
My 1st view on this fish, I like it cute and short body.
I get the information about Papiliochromis ramirezi (荷兰凤凰短鲷)can mix with tetra fish. Besides, they also take care about their child.
SO I decided to get 2 into my aquarium. But when I step to fishshop, the seller told me they don't have any female for sales. As a result, I decided to get 2 short body one: 圆球凤凰短鲷 & 黄金圆球凤凰短鲷!
Here is my photo:

The yellow one always chase the dark one...T.T
Below is the information I get from web:
Etymology: Named after Manuel Vicente Ramirez.Papiliochromis ramirezi
Synonyms: Microgeophagus ramirezi, Apistogramma ramirezi
First European import: 1947, by Manuel Vicente Ramirez and Herman Blass.
Care: Densely planted tank, although there should be enough space for the fish to swim. Some holes and stones, and frequent small waterchanges. Can be kept in a community tank, although it's co-inhabitants should be peacefull fish.
Temperature: 22-26
Feeding: All food is taken.
Size: Up to 7 cm, but due to inbreeding usually smaller.
pH: 6.0-7.5
Breeding: Free-layer, the eggs are usually laid on stones. Neutral to slightly acidic water, hardness below 8 dGH but preferably softer. Tank minimum 40*25*25, slightly aerated or with a sponge-filter. Water temperature in the higher regions, 26-30. Combined with frequent water-changes and live food the fish will spawn, and lay up to 500 eggs. If it's not the intention to raise all the fry it's best to leave the parents in the tank, although they may eat the eggs or the fry if they are disturbed. Sometimes the first spawn(s) are eaten by the parents, but later spawns will usually be raised properly. It has been reported that non matching pairs will always eat their eggs, so to get a proper pair it may be best to buy a small school of 6 juveniles and wait for the fish to form a pair. If the eggs are removed and raised separately, the fish can and will usually spawn again in two weeks.
Sexual dimorphism: Male have an elongated finray in the dorsal fin, females have a pinkish stomach.
