Yeah the event was so huge, Sultan Azlan Shah, Princess of Denmark (they took a photo of her speaking to his highness and she was wearing a low cut gown, LOL).
Yewlin's 11? Wats that?
This yewlin make me pai seh only.. my fish at the most same level as yours only lah.. some more you just got the POWER bettas from Thailand. Hahaha.
Wanna see my new Butterfly HMPk turquoise from Singapore?
I'm impressed. Straight edges. Tsk tsk tsk.. lalalalal
Now to find a 16 ray female for crossing. Haha.

Evildonkey, you should try to get your hands on some microworms first.

Ic ic... officer sounds nicer mah.
Anyway those days the plantation minders are usually ex-officers.

really? got opening or not? I'm serious here. Sigh. New GM and new SHIT.

Btw evildonkey, you bought the best looking steel hmpk from Bob's page ah. Hehehe. Congrats. Will do wonders for your line.

lol ok ok... good luck!

OMG... taro, dun put them above your woofer. It will scare them. Lol.. imagine waking up everytime you play your music louder.

Ergh... yewlin make me paiseh only. Hehe.
He get from me I get from him, lol.
Anyway we're keeping different lines.
I am keeping Tribands and salas. Yewlin has blue and MGs and also salamanders (aka salas).

Yewlin, are you doing F2 on the blue yet?
Your tubi is still with me. Oh by the way, if anyone is looking for tubifex worms, I know where to get it liao. Muahahaha. Tubi is a rare commodity now.

Hi there Taro, I dunno if the way I train is good or not, lol, but it definitely is easy for me as well. haha. How are the two bettas doing?
Are you "poking" them like i told you to? Hahaha.

Lol, dunno you happier or they happier, taro. Haha.

Hmm... well, I started jarring my salamander butterflies,
I will send them in for competition next month.
If I win anything, it will be an achievement.

Congrats! Hahaha.. it means he's finally grown up.

Gigaz.. all you need to reply to all those posts is simply to put the name of the person you are replying to and then put your reply. As jas said, you are spamming the forums. Post counts aren't important. Look at my meagre post count.

Wat colour are you looking for?
DTHM. Got triband... interested?

Lol, I got nice fish to buy but will only be available after Aquafair 2006 in KLCC.

newbie betta, are you part of BSM?

Mable, this looks bad. It is probably sickness again. Sigh.
Have you been keeping him in an air conditioned room?
Stop feeding him for a while. And does he have a partner or stimulus? Such as a mirror?

Nezumitaro: How goes the bettas? So quiet suddenly.
Dun scare me leh. Haha.

Guys, there is a betta competition at the KLCC (the convention center) this november 16-19, make sure you guys go there coz there will be 400 pieces of bettas on display!!

Michael: I think the gold scales could be the remnant from the thai parental stock. That's the only plausible reason. Otherwise it is probably irids. And HOLD THEM BUTTERFLIES FOR ME. Did I mention I lurv butterflies? Haha. Will swap with you for MG or Sala.

Looks like your fry suffered from malnutrition and old age.
You need a bigger space for them. After you jar them out, you have to start feeding them with bloodworms or tubifex worms. U cannot keep feeding daphnia. Otherwise they will suffer from malnutrition (1 type of food cannot have all the proper nutrition).
As for starting again, you will not be able to find CT females in the petshops. ALL you ever get are shortfin plakat fighter females. spawn those and have a headache with crappy fins and poor colouration.

My advise is to get a nice pair from some trustworthy breeder and start from there. Also, the home breeders usually don't have many colours but their quality is definitely better than petshops. I can introduce you a friend who keeps CTs.
Yewlin also has a few but they are going for the competition .

Michael: I think those really are irids, not gold scales. I just browsed Aquabid. If got BTF HMPK red please let me know hehe. Will cross it to sala btf. weee!

Mable: If your fish keep dying, may I suggest you buy your plakats from another pet shop? Change the place you keep him in. and don't change water so often.

Nezumi and fren (OMG I dun remember your name): I hope the bettas are still alive. If you guys have been feeding them consistently, they should be bigger by now.


jaspery: got! there will be a charity fair in Penang on the weekend after aquafair. Check it out and ask around. Some indonesian breeders will send their Crown Tails there after the Aquafair.

Wah evildonkey... after that period of drought u go spawning spree oredi ah.

Jaswwp: Good to hear! Sorry mable but I cannot help but be relieved that the fish I sold is still healthy hehe.

Mable: Sigh.. i think there is only 1 thing left to do. Prophylactic treatment. When take a fish back home, put him in water that has already been added with yellow powder... change 50% water everyday and add some yellow powder. Keep this up for 1 week then use ktp in his water. You'll have 2 days to admire him everytime you change water. On the third to 7th day the water will be too dark, hehe. Don't buy pet shop plakat unless u are getting them to fight then throw. If you knew how they "processed" the fish, you'd be scared. We'rea talking about hundreds of thousands of fish kept in really bad conditions. No such thing as quarantine and all that crap.

Michael: Cannot see ler. But 1 thing is for sure. They are cambo based so I think it is irids. The cambo body tends to make the irids look less green. Finnage of the first fish looks good with outcurling and all that. Looks like both are longfinned!! Weeee!
Swap fish with yewlin and kelvin for outcrossing man.

jaspery: hmmm... dunno when is the penang charity fair wor, seriously you need to ask around. Should be around 25th November. Those formations sound like columnaris to me. You might not wanna go back to that shop again. and you should use some medication and salt to soak your tanks first yah. How is taro's fish doing? hehe.

lol, are you singaporean? I've only ever heard them say the word damage. Hahaha.
A decent pair would probably cost you RM120 to RM150. Bobby and David has set the price already and we wouldn't want to spoil the market for them. You have to understand, after getting them at such a price, you will never need to buy them again. Hehe. You spawn and get a few hundred pieces.

That female looks like a halfmoon female. Where did you get it?
The male is a rather lower grade Crown tail. Lower grade here doesn't mean bad quality, here, I am referring to the amount of ray extension.
It should be at last 33% longer than the webbing, more is better.

Lol, this time my standard improve oredi

hahaha seriously this time if you come u will see much nicer fish compared to last time. Haha.
Some very nice SuperDeltas to let go. Sigh... can u imagine, the father and mother so nice and yet some of them still are only super deltas.

How is your cousin? Hope he recovers soon, ya.
