yo coco put back the same title head but with V2 at the end like others..
else it will be confusing for others leh.. just my pov

anyone care to introduce themselves?

let me start..
29 male born in perak raise in pg and now workin in Kl staying in subang USJ..

find one day organise one gathering and everyone come out mayb go round c breeders of aro nearby

i was one of the organiser comittee for the aquafair malaysia 2007.. from there i get to kNow the owner of xian leng.. i Know the reason why xian leng boss never allow ppl to go to their farm visit.. but i can try ask and c... cross ur fingers guys

its bineally.. so meaning once in 2006 and the next show will be in 2008..

dont worry i will keep u all posted.. we just come up with the designs for brochures and stuff.. still long way to go..

i wanted to go as well to meet up with u all.. but i have to go back to penang for ancestor prayin " ching ming"... sob sob

ur nOt the only 1.. my greenie of 13.5 inch rip today stuck at the water pump..
the intake grill like cone came off.. woke up this morning to find it stuck there..
not moving.. now i Know why those aro lovers.. once their aro rip.. they become total restless and no energy to work or do anythIng else.. Now i just look at my indo gold swimming here and there in.. i wonder how those aro lover cope up with it if they only have 1 aro at home and it died.. must be damn sad and damn down mood.. even i have two ( at least i can still look at indo gold to cheer myself up) the lost of greenie to me feels like losing someone whom u really care about and love.. i never tot i can felt that way for a fish.. my wife has been trying to cheer me up all day.. but still its pretty much useless.. still my wife keeps trying till now..
i am really thankful and grateful for having her as my wife..

thanks mate for all ur concern..

serewen : if ur tank is 4ft by 2ft without water circulation and air circulation.. it can last for 3 days minimum depending on ur bio load..

saif_bear : sorry bro for the tiger as my greenie rip

chelsea fan : cross ur finger buddy . if ur aro at 14 inch and above still pure white.. it can fetch a market value of rm 68k at least.. regardless its greenie or silver or anythIng.. but under normal lighting condition its pure whIte..

one fella by the nick of pkchan in arofanatics.com have 1 silver pure white.. someone offered rm68k but his already is more than 14 inches long.. so color wont changed d.. pure white..

there is another greenie that fetch high price ( purple bluish base with purple rim )
market value can exceed hbrtg almost equal to red.. because this is rare and different from others.. and that is exactly the same kind of greenie i had.. but died near to 14 inch.. that is why me so farkin sad.. until now.. noyze and michanz from aquarium fish thread saw my greenie few days just before it rip.. sob

in general.. ppl pay money for rare arowana.. eg : snow white , purple asian aro, purple base greenie, double head aro, so on so forth.. kinda ironic but that is how it goes..

but i sincerely hope that CF's greenie is pure white.. if so i wanna go over to his place and have a look myself.. never seen 1 with my own eyes..

initially yes.. but recently jln pasar destroy the market.. haha... afterall when supply exceed demand.. price drop..


but then jardini will never fetch higher price than rtg

but then again unless ur jardini is pure white.. then that is different story..

if got i sure wanna c... afterall by nature the scale of jardini is shinier compare to asian aro..

yup thats why its shine is better.. the shine comes from the slime coat around its body.. but if color darker.. the contrast will be better.. thus getting better shine.. if body color very mild.. no matter how slimey the coat is around its body.. the shine wont show color that much.. hehe .. that is why azoo brand is so particular about the moist around aro body treatment.. and tanning light is so popular for red and gold arowana..

yup seen 1 on photo but Not real life.. eye red in color.. very nice..

haha.. definitely the fool wont be me .. rm68 k for a fish is a big NO NO for me..
but then again some suck up baskard with high ego problem will pay for it..
eg : same as those type of ppl who buy car that is more expensive than the house they are stayin in or "show-off" case..

personally i saw one scenario.. donno whether u all know anyone similar to this case..

a family living in a medium cost apartment of 3 bedroom and 2 toilet (900+sqf).. inside got more than 7 ppl (1 kid and 6 grown adult ) stayin.. so imagine how cramp it is.. but then again.. instead of getting a bigger house.. guess what.. they bought a naza ria (new).. one c class benz (new).. an old wira .. and a new honda accord.. the cost of the apartment is rm 140k.. that is what i called as "empty shell" ppl with big ego problem.. try to pretend rich.. hehe.. sorry if i offended anyone here..

haha.. that is also why that fella pkchan never sell his silver away.. even though for rm68k .. for me, i would done the same.. its more on sentimental value rather than materialistic value.. after u boned a relationship with ur aro.. its kinda very hard to let go.. either for sale or RIP.. somemore the amount of time and TLC u put into it.. it makes it even harder to part with it regardless whether its rare or not rare..

getting a replacement for the rip or the one that you sell away isnt quite the same feeling u had.. the unique feeling for each different aro is different as to human.. once u r affectionately involve in it..

that is what happen to one of our bro here.. even he trade in his rtg with chilli red.. but then again.. he still misses his rtg so much.. i see him keepin asking whether his rtg still at xianleng or not.. that is those kind of emotional feeling we have for our beloved aro.. and this is what makes us who we are.."ARO MANIACS" - SLEEP ARO, THINK ARO, BUT DONT EAT ARO.. haha.. knew for a fact someone eat a super red at the size of 24 inch.. instead of waiting for someone to ask me how come eat aro.. let me explain.. the fish floating upside down d.. so they cook it and eat it..

hey bro.. i c that u r in USJ area? where? me in USJ 11.. and where are u from? me also outstation.. from penang.. my brother same case like urs.. his also rtg.. he over in US rite now.. and the rtg is under my parents care.. glad that they take a liking into it.. they also ask me a lot of questions on how to care for it.. haha.. once they kana poison.. my brother evil plan is to get chilli red when he come back..

dont worry mate.. add more salt.. turn on heater .. and it will heal in no time.. give or take.. around 1 months time

then go for it la brother.. but make sure nOt too big.. three aro can comm d.. and throw in two more silver equal size.. haha

u kampung penang mana?

wa.. who so siao coming all the way from penang to collect?

free the time pm me come out yamcha la

i dunno.. i dont eevn KNow how he look like

its next to the wetworld shah alam and also near to PKNS building..

for comm tank.. u have no choice but to waste money on smaller then change to medium then change to bigger tank..


reason given : imagine if u put 3 or more aro inside one 6 feet tank while the aro size is say like 4-5 inch.. that size is sufficient for them to built their territory.. so meaning in other words.. fighting will occur.. but if u put them at that size in 3ft tank initially.. they cant create their territory.. so fighting will be less..
to put in single term.. for comm tank.. to avoid fighting.. main reason for consideration would be = size of aro : number of aro : tank size ratio..

eg : u put 2 aro in 3ft tank they will fight.. so 6ft tank put 3-4 aro .. definitely will also fight.. unless the no of aro exceed 8 for 5ft..

my pov :

3ft tank : size of 4-5 inch : 5 aro at least
4ft tank : size of 4-5 inch : 6-7 aro at least

so on so forth ..

key point.. do not give them chance to make a territory out from ur tank.. so make it as compact as possible and based on their growth rate then only change tank..

this way ur aro comm project will have a higher chance of success.

you might want to consider to throw in two or more silver aro as tank mate to decrease the chance of fighting.. still have to monitor for the most agreesive aro.. the most agreesive one have to sell to someone else or seperate in different tank.. or else u will end up aro with eye gone, tail and fin torn.. even with drop scales..

that is just my pov.. mayb some dont agree.. but i say out from common sense and for the love of aro.. some ppl i know for the comm tank project fail.. becoz of the reason above.. they find their aro look cacat after healin.. either they sell or less care will be given to it.. but then again thinking back the culprit is the owner themselve.... as the owner already kNow aro is a territorial predator fish..

i 2nd tat.. less chances of fighting

yeah visit them on my last trip back to pg for Ching ming.. saw the pond and yeah its cramp but still i saw one funny sight.. one aro with black back/top go hentam one silver pectoral fin.. and swim with together.. but let go after like 5 seconds later.. but no damage done.. that is what i mean as making the place cramp so fighting will be less.. as no sudden darting so if injury also very minimal..

aryan : what u mean by "sin kah" if u mean just married.. then yes , married last year in November.. and my avatar have been up for quite some time.. lazy to change.. so is that just married? or sin kah lan?
