if u have also read the Aro's thread ......u should have read what i wrote before
those fish can only bring good fortune for the one who selling them
cause they usually sell the fish quite expensive especially Arowana

don't u agree??

hhahahhahah nice one!

anyways zeist, i salute you for wanting to know more about potential pets b4 buying them... but in this case google will be a better and faster option

Good fortune or Not good fortune, feng shui or what ever it is, it is a hobby, i'm still need to work everyday for money. Do you think if you got good feng shui and good fortune but not working will money come to look for you? Hahaha.....

Added on September 18, 2007, 11:47 amSome ppl pay for expensive pet because they think expensive pet that offer in the shop can live happily in their care/house but fortunately thing goes difference way. So whether the pet is expensive or cheap the most important thing is we ourself must be very prepare before buying a pets.

yup!
therefore i agree with u 100%

I got my own sweet and sad exp with my goldfishes
but im defeated 10-0 (non alive now)

I dont get a chance to rare anything during school days coz i've to concentrate on studies and coco. But after my SPM, i go for 2 lovely betta fishes(gave to my cousin coz my mom dont like betta)

After with 2 mth of exp, i spent my part time salary for a 2.5 ft pool and 3 GOLDFISH; Orange Oranda, RedCap Oranda and "PingPong" Pearlscale. All of them is so cute >.< . But within 1 week, 2 K.0..ed ! reason? nvr put anti-chlorine =____+.

Then i bought 2 more PingPong (coz they are too cute) and a BubbleEye ....
Some dead within 6 mths and I look up for few more other species.

My 3 long live goldfish is Ryunkin (3.5"B + 3"T) Ranchu(4") and Eyeless PingPong(this fella able to live for a year wo a pair of eyes ... im sad)

After i came down to MMU, pass all my child to my cousin ... haih TT____TT

But after all, i still planning to over again with goldfish after i graduate .
Cute and Fun ^______^

Added on September 18, 2007, 7:39 pmI know a little only not much, because my dad used to have a big 4 feet tank. He rare 2 Kaloi last time. After the 2 Kalois died, my dad bought 20+ goldfish, all seen floating upside down after few months.

To keep 20+ goldfish you need a 400+ gallons tank because each goldfish need 20 gallons of water. Floating upside down because not enough of O2, or swim bleeder disease, air trap in the blader.

ic........
but i think mostly the businessman will think that kind of idea........

Anyone using UV filter for goldfish? Need some reviews coz I wanna add it to my exiting wet and dry filter system. Normally how much would it cost.

Thx.

Before I setting up my goldfish tank i'm thinking of using UV filter for my goldfish tank also but after setting up everything and run the tank for four month plus without using UV filter everything found to be running quite well no disease,not losing any fish, only the water got a little bit of golden green colour.

There are two type UV filter in the market,
1) The external canister filter with build in UV light.
2) The UV light only, just connect it to the filter pump.
The cost will be base on brand and watts. The higher the watts and of course the costly it will be.

I am using the UV filter! Using it because my pond is in the courtyard.

The UV filter is suppose to keep the water from turning 'green'!

Bought it from Pet's Wonderland at Ikano Power Centre for RM800+-.

Just for sharing...

one of thousands who is proud to be a goldfish lover here...
errr.. anyone knows how to make goldfish live longer bcoz AFAIK, goldfish suffers worst lifespan than other fishes.
do it totally depends on handling?

How long usually they live?

well, a few years during my secondary school days. Initially total noob at the fish, but after rear 1-2 year and look at the fishes + bought some cheap china book from book fair (but surpricingly very informative ) bout gold fish knows quite stuff la. ranchu's my favorite, then come to red heads and lionheads. but i make a big mistake tat time for crowding my tank with lotsa fishes, maybe stress up la

But in the end i end up keep only gold fishes, but after form 6 go kl study dee so my family take care of them, maybe dunno how to handle die liew, now only keep parrot fish.

hie bebee you oso got gold fish ar



Goldfish cruelty spotted
i used to do that as well but separated all the aggresive fish to other tanks, like a tank of heaven and a tank of hell

Lifespan for goldfish is depend on well you taking care of it.

thank you coz i saw bebee claiming his goldfish is 10 year...
i still feel kinda bad feeling that i wuz the reason the fish dies..

If this is a tank in the fish fish shop it is ok, if otherwise then it will be a problem to maintain the tank. Overpopulated tank.

Those ranchus are cute!hehe..
My fish all i left in kl for 2 weeks,with just holiday food and clean water..
Will be going back this fri,wonder are they still alive or i need to be their undertaker..
