^ so we know youre superrich and could spend so much time writing essays that no one cares about. Your point is ?!?

THAT aside, where can I find fish shop in kl/pj area that carries tigrinus catfish? Cty in pg has a defective one if anyone is interested.

I eat them. j/k. They're my pets. Not fish you'd want to keep for commercial purposes due to their awfully slow growth rate. I'm a hardcore fish keeper. I also keep river fishes like you do in my factorys mud pond for own consumption.

The pima is currently in my 10 footer 560gal acrylic tank with the rtcs, tsn, rtctsn, gator gars and temensis. I'll try to get more pic when I get off work later. Kelahs are in 4x8x2.5 tank. Filtration was homemade skippy style + the ohf that came with the tank. Koi tank is similar except that it's 3' high. Aros are each housed in a 6x2.5x2.5 with eheim pro 3. I have plenty of reason to not run the sump tank system because it gave me so much problems in the past (14yrs back). Maybe it was manufacturing defects but I've not looked back since I moved from that system to Pro2 and currently Pro3.


Ben, I do apologize but don't you think its odd for khairul to tell me anything about respect when pimpin was all cool about it? Anyway, I shall stop there .


Pimpin,

Do you build your pond lower than the river water level? How d'you get the water to stabilize ata the current level without ball float ? Unless the water is drawn from the upper part of the river then again even river water level fluctuates. No offence but your pond looks like my concrete cube holding pond minus the waterfall but it's an effort nonetheless


ggMing, Thanks! I'll wait. You should still have my nums. I msg you the other day. I'm also into gulper cat, whats their size and is there any way you could differentiate between male and female? I'd be very keen to get a pair. And if you could also source amelanistic rtc let me know. Thought mine could get company since the bio load is way too light. I might be just asking but if the price is right then who knows...

Ditto!

New residents of my grow out 280g 6x2.5x2.5:

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

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?

That depends but I like to keep my fish from young. Good deal like how much?

btw, he's talking about raphael catfish, i had to google myself. lol


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?

Check Marble Goby Enterprise. Prices are all listed on their site. Call them for additional discount. The transport is probably gonna cost you a bit. What are you planning to house in the fgt anyway?

If you have the space and commitment, then by all means go get it. Price wise I think it's a steal. I've got like 6 2-3 incher for $25 each at my lfs ~2 weeks back and I just switched to feeding goldfish instead of longkang fish yesterday

Anyway, I was told that our gov does not allow alligator gar to be brought into the country and the juve are all somehow smuggled pieces. How far is that true, go figure but I seriously rarely see them on lfs except few years back. I guess they started limiting the quantity coming in since someone caught a pretty big one in pahang.

Here's one of my 4incher feeding

I'm definitely down with taht but I couldn't find any supplier around my area that could source 2" acrylic curve-to-my-pref glass like those you see aquaria. Heck, some don't even know what acrylic is. I'd have call it monster tank if I'd be able to get the glass but I'm pretty much settled on the design so it's going to be a concrete pond for now.



how is it salah? did you just seemingly use your vast wisdom to 'assume' that im building a pond with the dimension that youre imagining? holy crap man.. ive totally lost all my respect for you after reading this. You of all the people. seriously. geeesh !!11! p/s how many successful pond have you constructed again?

On your monster pond definition, to each his own. If 150ton pond is not monster maybe I should dig me a friggin 1 acre lake and call it a pond.

Pimp, I saw your tentative pond design on mfk, if that does realize, I'd want to visit your place someday.
