trying to look for a gold-fish corner... this is the best i manage to get...

i was at subang carrefour last weekend... and i saw the most beautiful ranchu in my life... a black ranchu healthily swimmin about... looks like a puppy and had this "take me home" look... super adorable...

good for him i used to rare fishes and i knew i had to get a setup at home started... so yesterday went and got myself an aquarium.... got it up and running... will let it run for a week and then go get 2 4inch ranchus... or 3 3inch ranchus...

inside carrefour.. they selling the ranchus from RM50-RM150... expensive but very vibrant and happy and colorful, i can tell they are well fed with good quality food...

i went to a LFS, also got between RM28-RM100 but over crowded and dull...

anyone knows any shops with quality and reasonable price... or u guys think the one in Subang Carrefour is ok... I read ppl complain about that pet shop... but i saw the fishes are ok... in fact very OK.... my wife also fell in love with the fishies....

hope there are some gold-fishes peepel here... !!

I got overhanging filter (dunno if it's the same as waterfall filter oso) the bad thing is when power outtage, the motor stop, so when the power come back the water very hard to pump back up and need to be refilled from the top otherwise magnet will split if keep spinning witout water. Not good choice if you are not at home for most of the day. My 2 sen ...

Hahahha, other way round pulak. I had some guppies and mollies with my Pearlscale. Kena buli teruk2 la. They took turns to peck on the fella's scale.

Your Betta doesnt mind eating Goldfish pellets? My male Betta very fussy eater, eats only live or frozen bloodworm.

ceh that female betta love the hikari pallet very much..funny to see that they bite the pallet although the pallet is

to big for them...and then run away with the pallet scared of my ranchu...my male betta only live on hikari pallet...

never use frozen food bcoz my "umah bujang" doesnt have fridge cry.gif
