Those imported from China, Taiwan, or Thailand can cost hundreds.
But the Ryukin, my favourite is still quite cheap. Can get a palm-sized one for around RM30-RM50. Local breeds of course, but they still look beautiful.
I once tried to put a Ryukin into an Aro comm tank (with many other types of fishes of course) as a trial an error.
Damn, it was dead in less than 5 hours. Felt it was a waste as it was one beautiful fish. Got it for around RM26, slightly smaller than palm size.

depends on where u r located i guess... There are many LFS in klang valley that you can do shopping or just windows shoppings.. ''Reasonable" is subjective.. 1K might seems reasonable to some, but others think that 100 is too expensive.. So its always about affordability and the quality that your quench for ...

There is a local F B group that are full of info on LFS or resellers where u can get goldfish from, just search 'goldfish chat room' or 金鱼聊天室。

as u already know local ryukins are small.. putting them into a tank with adult aro is just like killing them on purpose...

Last Sunday went to atarikoi China ranchu selling for about 4k++

I get what you mean, the prices sky rocketed compared to the old days. I can get discounts from this particular shop but just want to know if their price is not marked up already.

GG goldfish tankmate with an Aro

How big?

Haha, like I mentioned it was trial and error.
The Ryukin was palm-sized. Not exactly small. I have smaller Killins and parrots in the tank as well.
The fish was battered to death. Now I know gold fishes cannot withstand battering.

Hi, anyone know where i can buy some panda telescope butterfly around 3"?

If you live around Klang valley, best option is Atarikoi i guess.. Panda variant is not very common locally.

guys! where is the best lfs to get gold fishes (with reasonable price of course) in kl? thanks!

Guys, i need help.
My aquarium is 6 feet, equivalent to 280.5 US gallons.
What kind of air pump is suitable for my aquarium?
I'm now using sobo double output one, but seems not enough.
My goldfish keeps swimming on top.

any store at Selangor / KL selling fantail goldfish? I cant really find them

planning to get glassman to redo my sump tank (remove +new glass panel) for more compartment, as i need to improve on the water filter quality/performance.
mine is normal goldfish

how many days i need to let the tank idle/before i can use it?

if the tank maker is using aquarium safe glue/silicon then you could just soak it a day or two and i think u can start using it after that.

bought a 7w submersible uv light. how can i use it? can i just place on top of the aquarium?

the box suggested placing it inside a large filter but i only has a mini size canister filled with stuff oredi...

is it a concealed type? if yes then u could place it anywhere in the tank.

no it's fully exposed.

something like this
uv light submersible

UV is harmful to human eyes, if you have kids at home it would be better to get those concealed type of u would have to hide it somewhere in the tank.

is it harmful to the fish? i mean if i install it directly above the aquarium

I'm not sure what you mean by 'directly above the aquarium' ? U mean hanging on top of the water surface? UV is harmful to eyes, just any eyes, by damaging the retina.. You should not buy this type of bare UV tube. This type of UV tube is for you to put into a covered area like a sumptank or somewhere that is not visible to anyone, any fish. If you want to put it into the aquarium, the option is a concealed type like this : https://shopee.com.my/Hmeis-DeeTee-Aquarium...3962.5410713350

Hope this helps
