Another thing is that now is rainy season in KL. Last night i woke up at 2.30 am to put cover from rain water. There was strong wind/storm also.
Now there is no algae or greenish floor.

Question 1: do i need to clean their sh*t?
Question 2: is it good to use filter system (mechanical+biofilter) so the solid sh*t is suckaway and the poisonous ammonia can be change to harmless substrate. I was thinking to try it, so that i can hold the water longger to allow for algae growth. But i need to make sure water movement is minimised at pump/filter inlet and outlet. What do you say?
Q1 : nope, you don't have to do that. Some people does that but it is not necessary. We have not done that before. Don't worry, green will come later. no worries.
Q2 : I can guarantee you that will be a good start for some non stop illness problem. hehehe also, too much turbulance in the water will kacau the development of a nice sexy tail. Too many development of the fish will be out of your control once you start using filter, eg. scale, tail, bodyshape, etc.
