Very affordable fish |

QUOTE(camillenoir @ Oct 16 2010, 12:00 PM) joshua : selling those tigers? my pond kinda feel empty nowadays yup  u have any fishes in your pond? lets say japanese koi? can mix though. seriously these tigers dont act like the piranhas.. they wont snap your fingers off. they are not ferocious, just that the way they grab preys and chewing them bite by bite is terrifying. another video of (owner diving in to record) plenty of rare fish (including bichirs, datnoids, african tigers, cichlas and some rare monster cats!) in pond.. CHECK OUT HIS COLLECTION!!  This post has been edited by joshualim86: Oct 17 2010, 12:59 AM |

QUOTE(BenSow @ Oct 16 2010, 12:09 PM) arghhhh~~ I dunno wat to buy frm joshua!! >.< Slowly decide la Ben.. hehe..Added on October 16, 2010, 1:07 pmhey guys i nid some tips... for 6'x4'x3' fiberglass tank should I choose black or white colour? and substrate i would like to use the cheapest kind of sand possible which I presume its normal light brown sand so should i buy black or white? btw, for the fiberglass tank, what kinda fish u planning to keep inside? i kept my hoplias intermedius in a 4feet fiber tank, with 3 asian arowanas which he doesnt really like it even if i provide him lots of PVC pipes to hide. well.. it depends on setup also, since your planning to add in light brown sand.. i would say go for the WHITE ones.. easier to sell it off also if u decide not to use the fiber tank anymore  |

QUOTE(BenSow @ Oct 17 2010, 01:06 PM) wow how many tanks do you have??? Since Im stocking one tank only so its quite a challenge.. if its multiple tanks ill choose many many fish which is easier African arowana are NOT like normal asian or south american arowana. they dont prey on fishes. so.. do some homework bro.. hehe..African arowana looks nice... doing some research on it now... Added on October 17, 2010, 1:09 pmHow much are cichla temensis, Armatus, african aro and wat is the cheapest stingray u have? Added on October 17, 2010, 1:59 pmand how much is shipping of the fish? interested on importing some too.... And im only 15 legal for me to import fish?c.temensis i have large specimen only, h.armatus expect RM500 and above (rare and highly priced fish), h.niloticus need to check, cheapest stingray i have full-spotted chain-ring black motoro (p.motoro), RM270, 6 inch disc + long tail.. shipping fishes? lol. minimum USD150 will be gone tansporting these guys over by plane ONLY! Plus all the highly priced rare fish, DOA around 10% might be more if from other non generous exporter, sometimes even 90% DOA. Lots of documentation to be done, approval from fishery department before u can think of imports. So do the maths and you will know why Malaysia have less than i would dare to say.. 2% of ultra rare-fish importers? lol. Yet many of the fish keepers says, "Why so expensive one?" (which ppl did not think of where our Ringgit Malaysia stands in trading).... "I rather buy asian arowana!"... etc etc.. Therefore after so many years, we're all still stucked at this level of fish keeping. Guppies (not higher range Moscow Black, Full red albino etc), discus (not even heckel, wild variant), goldfishes, arowana (african arowana?), common barbs, characins (payara, wolf fishes?) common cats (red-tail cats only??) and all the ciplak fishes only =.=  |

Joshua >>> please give all the forum's any information regarding RARE FISH P/S Waiting my exodon and redtail barracuda Added on October 18, 2010, 9:20 am bro is this the real picture of the african arowana u have? did you have the polypterus back there? Your Bucktooth Tetra (Exodon paradoxus) order already buthen i didnt manage to obtain the Red Tail Barracuda (Acestrorhynchus falcatus). Sorry  but i have this Yellow Tail Barracuda (Acestrorhynchus falcirostris), fish around 7inch. Didn't see before right? lol.  it will grow to max: 40cm based on my reading and look something like this..  That African Arowana (Heterotis niloticus) isn't my fish. Just an illustration Polyterus have to check.. Added on October 19, 2010, 2:17 am QUOTE(SAMPERTH @ Oct 18 2010, 06:38 PM) [attachmentid=1840220] Dorado.. Nice!How I miss my community tank - the Dorado especially ( cant seems to find them anymore) Well.. plenty are available at Xian Leng shah alam.. do check that out Added on October 19, 2010, 2:20 am QUOTE(BenSow @ Oct 18 2010, 07:58 PM) lol im nt rushing....i planned on selling my fish foer sometime oredi.. Ben,I would suggest you NOT to sell of ur current collection but to further increase your collection. Especially the silver arowana.. get some nice tank mates and i'm sure your tank will look great and complete Added on October 19, 2010, 2:37 am QUOTE(akidos @ Oct 18 2010, 08:21 PM) HOW ABOUT ABA ABA ? I know a guy who have 4 nos of them . Perhaps if u r interested we can go together to get good price . Aba aba.. hmm... Kepong Kin Fatt Aquarium stock them.. RM25-30 if not mistaken. check it out..anyone interested with gars ...and other rare fishes here ? the aquatic international have quite number of rare fishes / eels . We can go together and share the petrol cost. Added on October 18, 2010, 8:22 pmby the way anyone knows where to get primitive dragon goby ? Added on October 18, 2010, 11:50 pm is that green spotted puffer fish . NVR MIX THAT f***ER WITH ANYTHING ! Puffer vs arowana 10 times bigger than him = arowana lose Puffer vs HUGE bandaraya fish = huge bandaraya fish gg Puffer vs Huge cray fish = broken arm and death My damn bloody watersnake is sked of puffer . and some info for the Dragon worm goby (Gobioides broussonetti). I brought in a few before RM90 per fish, 7 inch size.   Haha.. and ur right with that Takifugu ocellatus puffer fish.. Guys take note.. this puffer CANNOT com with any fishes except for their own species.. The puffer lovers will love this fish due to the way they behave.. it's "cute".. it wont kill your fish (unless its smaller than him) this fishes are extremely bad ass.. they like ripping of any fishes fins.. so DO NOT mix with any fish! DO NOT catch them with bare hands.. 1 bite will send you straight to hell.. Added on October 19, 2010, 3:09 amhere are some exotic catfishes.. guess what are they..    Ben should be able to answer one of these.. This post has been edited by joshualim86: Oct 19 2010, 03:09 AM |

LOL Added on October 21, 2010, 2:35 pm QUOTE(BenSow @ Oct 20 2010, 10:31 AM) since im at home lemme finish the basic care of the fishes Ben here's some information for u.Added on October 20, 2010, 11:14 amok... after asking few people here's a rough price of the fish im planning to get.. African aro- RM300 Juruense catfish- RM150-180 Motoro ray- RM270 Lungfish- RM100 Cichla something still dunno NTT datnoid- RM25 That totals upto more than RM800.. holy where am i gonna get that sum of money in 2 months TnT if u like gold colour... go for c.kelberi.. if u like gold with blue-ish refection go for c.orinocensis.. the common ones are c.temensis and c.monoculus.. information obtain from my supplier c.kelberi large one can fetch price as high as USD250 medium about USD150 (marketprice).. easy to sell at this price somore! applies to other countries.. to sell in such fish msia?? i dont know if it works! many will reply "adult cichla in msia only RM30+ la.." "good luck on ur sale" bla bla bla.. whatsoever.. so please ppl! if u think ur fishy knowledge is damn hell of a good.. go travel around the world b4 u even dare to reply! look at the japanese, taiwan and US market.. look at the fishes ppl are keeping over there. many are wild caught exotic fish! price were indeed high as i could imagine! do some research first and stop having the mind set of (i can get cheaper fish out there) before knowing the origin of the fish, species, collection area etc etc! yes wild fishes should be cheap because collectors can just collect anytime they like.. but bear in mind that places like Amazon are just totally dangerous. there are caymans, predator fishes like piranhas, water snakes etc.. and it's called "risk"! we are falling back due to price sensitivity... just here to share information to those who wanna know more. cheers! Added on October 21, 2010, 3:37 pmA long list of ultra rare fish for today! Hognosed Cory (Brochis multiradiatus) these are NOT available in msia.. with this massive size? EVEN RARER!  Guess what loach are they..  obviously some L25 aka... Scarlet Cactus Pleco   It's not red-tail cat.. it's not a cross between RTC or shovelnose.. what is it?  These are tiny little monster that hides in sand and prey on fishes from below. Not salt water! Max size around 20cm! Guess what are they!  Chinese Tigers (Elopicthys bambusa)  Max size? DONT ASK!
