Great addition!
But... Seriously common C. occellaris dont look great. Colour looks dull le. zzzzz....
Bro.. since ur into rare fish keeping why not consider C. temensis, C. kelberi, C. orino, C. piquiti (aka azul), C. tocantins etc etc...
Then ur collection will be must must nicer! biggrin.gif

bro ggMing, ur C.temensis masih ada stock? post some pics!!!
*
Yes, My temensis is still here... will try snap some pics....
Joshua, drop me a call.....

i understand why ivan stock on occelaris.... its their color... you see them in the holding tank, confirm you will buy... coz its cheap mah..... i manage to pull my handbrakes coz ive got temensis... btw, ivan has got temensis too...

btw, i know this dude who is a true monsterfish keeper..... own a few 8' , 10, 12' and even 14' tank......


Added on November 25, 2010, 8:39 ami think the bag which holds the Occelaris with the Red Marker on kinda bongkar where you got it.... hahahahhaha

^ MFKs think alike. Hahahahahha!!!!! For 15 each + striking color, red eyes and last 4 remaining, how could anyone not......? drool.gif

Josh, temensis would be the dull-est pb imo. Then again, to each his own. Enormous size of the temensis almost always offset the color of occellaris, for most mfk at least.


With those tanks, what's his stocks like?

this is very simple.... expose them to fishes.....

i started fish keeping at 7, and to date, when i walk in to a fish shop, be it high end shop or low end shop, i still see the same stuff....

neon tetra, tigerbarb, yellow lab and such.....

see, this is what i mean lor.... ask for fishes, then say people never get back to you.... now got fishes, you tell people maybe getting.... how to get fish for you?

thats why, ask for fishes only when you are ready.... not asking for it whole year round, and then say i always never get back to you...
PIMPIN, i nearly got myself 2 arapaimas to stock my shop just to show you.... but luckily, i pull handbrake... LOL...

betta macrostoma can be found in borneo / sarawak....

i can also get my hands on betta macrostoma, betta unimaculata, betta occelata and all sorts of wild and show betta...

armatus same price for you bro, but size is 1-2" smaller than the Red Tail ...

BTW, Pimpin, i already stock 2 pcs of Arapaima....
reason is to grow them while you sort out your stuff....

Guys, i have this Bio-Montromolite Clay for sale....
selling in 3grams pack... which treats 100litres of water...

it is proven to ...

1. Speed up growth of fishes (quoted from a fish farm owner who is using the product)
2. Replenish the trace elements in our aquarium water because everything is filter out by Syabas/ water provider
3. Brings out / enhance the fish color

I'm selling per pack at RM8 only..
this is something which cost a little, i hope you guys will give it a try.... IF you love your fishes.... tongue.gif

I'll also be selling this during AQUAFAIR!!!

**** i might not be there, but my friend will be there to sell it... most probably, i'll be going on Friday and Saturday..
so, whos gonna be there.... i want to gather you guys around so i can intro you guys to my friends and other fish hobbyist as well....

Jason,

Sorry for late reply to your PM. As mentioned earlier I was busy with parents just arriving home from Hajj, etc past 3-4 days so that's why I've been MIA. If you still have the pair, give me your banking details. Also, if you're free this Sunday as mentioned via PM maybe you'd like to come and have a look at the pond as I'm about to start demolition and building new pond so your input would be extremely valuable.

hahahahahaha story from MFK.com

I called a local store and this is what I got.

Me- "hey, do you have any geo's?
Employee- "Any what?'
M-"Geo's, geophagus, or satanoperca juruparii?"
E-"Is that a fish food?"
M-"No, it's a fish, they're also called earth-eaters."
E-"No, we don't sell dirt for fish, and I don't suggest that you put dirt in your aquarium."
M-"No, no, no. The fish is called an earth-eater."
E-"I've don't think there's such thing as a fish that eats dirt."
M-"So, you don't have any?"
E-"If you going to put dirt in the tank, I don't think I'd sell it to you if we did."
M-"Thank you for your time." *click*


I really hate when people that don't know what you're talking about try to talk to you like you're crazy.


Added on November 27, 2010, 11:43 pmanother one lol..

I went to a Petco to grab a few hundred feeder guppies (thats for another story), when I was waiting for them to net them all up, I was listening in on a conversation between a employee and a mother with a whiny kid screaming at a few shellie cichlids
Mother: I would like to buy 10 of these
Kid: I WANNNNNNNNNNNT THEM!
Employee: how big is your tank?
Kid ITS THE BIGGEST ONE EVER
Mother: I believe its 10 gallons
Employee: ummm
Kid: I GOTTA CATCH EM ALL, ASH KETCHUM TOLD ME SO!
Employee: I can't sell you these fish, they get too big, why not try some neon tetras, you can even get 10 of them.
Kid: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
mother: lets go now
kid NO I HATE YOU NOOOOOOOOOOOO

and then they left, while I was in the check out I had my bag of guppies, some baby sunfish were mixed in AND there was a betta fish. I got all of it for 2$. The betta got rehomed but w/e

I'm so glad I didn't make a trip down there just for THAT. I somehow knew it'd be more of koi, goldfish, discus etc fair by looking at the past fair photos. Did you get a good deal on the fishes that you bought?
