Hahahaha...MFK Malaysia

MFK got huge giant tank.. we got PIMPIN's future dolphin tank/pond..
dont pray pray..

hahaha...dont pray pray arrr

monsterfishkeepers.com.MY!! whee~~

LOL!
Ben.. so u gonna start one?

Btw.. just wondering.. how do we attract more new blood into rare and exotic fish keeping within Msia?
i know it sounds silly but i'm sure it's just the matter of time for Malaysians to obtain such hobby..

price is one.. but i dont see why is it impossible for Malaysians to own such fish.. many were capable of keeping asian arowanas. Not 1, not 2 but few.. I've seen many of them! and thats a couple thousands bucks!!!
In Japan, the Japanese spent RM30,000(after convertion from yen) to buy asian aro, to buy datnoides pulcher at such rocket price! The other asian countries were as well into these fish keeping which includes Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, China etc.. why not us???

bensow, now joshua has got your most wanted african aro.... are you getting it?

.

nice collection bro..

yea.. its stated on my post loud and clear.

currently not in msia.. wait till i get back there first.. still, my fish looks the same as pics.

wait till i get back.. then will re-edit:)

ahh.. missed that part. my bad..

and you're in?

no problem
so bro how much u got the black aro? nice fins really!

Don't hold your breath bro. Just started measuring the new ponds dimensions and should be ordering materials later this week or latest next week but its going to be the same concept - river water flowing 24/7 but this time through filtration of sponges and brushes (will probably get my friend from Koi Division to recommend a suitable setup).

Currently my concrete pond is 22x15x3 and I've emptied that pond over past couple days and just starting demolition as I've decided to make it in same place but bigger and deeper half of it above ground.

Someone on MFK suggested going for bottom drains rather than overflows but have yet to figure out how to go about it because if inlet gets blocked then pond would drain out but in terms of water quality its better as the water cycles more compared to overflow since its all natural. I guess I'll be posting updates there so as not to litter this thread with 'irrelevant' information since it doesn't involve primitive fish - yet.

Jason - will see you Monday week or sometime during and you're welcome to come enjoy the river anytime. I try to go once a week but usually twice a month is the average depending on workload.

that just sound awesome!
make sure u keep this thread updated bro.. jason is well experianced, he should know whats best for this! cant wait to see the complete setup!
i'm sure all the readers here are dying to see this fantastic project!

maybe.. have to clear tank first

african aro.. so niiice
