Happy birthday to Laserguy!!
Thanks CP....totally forgotten about my birthday....
Crown Tail Goldfish ahh ... new variety ahhh ...

Crown Tail Pearlscales
Or is it CLOWN-tail Pearl scales? You know some chinese uncles always mispronounce crown as clown.
"You are such a crown...."
"Look! The queen has a clown on her head!!"
Clown Tail Pearlscales
Nice!!!!!!!
I can sense my house swaying... I guess somewhere nearby is having an earthquake.
Strange it always happens around this time of the year....
Bro Desireless...
The earthquake happened in North Sumatra on 4.30 am today in the scale of 5.6 Richter. So it could be felt in Singapore.
really a quake ? i sleeping like a pig !
I heard it this morning on Jakarta's news radio station. I also sleep like a pig last nite.
wow......hope you guys sleep with protection!!! helmut anyone???
Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. I can feel my house in motion whenever there is one happening in a neighbouring country. Confirmation is taking a look at my fish tank. There will be small waves and the fish swimming around frantically as if I were to stir the water.
I wonder why Earthquakes always happen around this time. And the more major and deadlier ones always happen within the week of Christmas. I hope the trend is broken this year
Bro Desireless,
Thanks for the nice words....
Let's hope the Spirit of Christmast this year also brings peace all over the world.
Christmas came in a shell-shock??
Hope everybody have enough rest this coming holidays!!!!
are we allowed to post unconstructive one-liners in this thread? im new, and warned by the secretary!
This is chit-chat section
haha ok. =)

We greeted the new year with a bang. Moderate fireworks. I waited 12pm to give tankmates their

May all ur goldfish remain healthy and dreams come true!!!

Chochiss, you know something...? Ganesha has them on his lap telling them stories
Lord Jesus saves!
Amitabha.... Peace to people from different race, religion and nationality... Peace to the world... and especially soccer!
Amitabha passes the soccer ball to Ganesha and they scoar a goal!
*score*
Just another obstacle
The flood is coming to Jakarta, some have lost their cute goldfish I guess
Ganesha probably caused the flood as an obstacle to keep something ever worse from happening.
I wonder where all the celestial goldfish fans are at.
Jakarta become water world II. The actor now is no longer Kevin costner but Jakarta's Province Head
whats so nice about celestials could you show us some pics? so many obstacles in life unfortunately
Just saw the news indeed the whole street is flood like venice...

Ong Ong in the year of OINK OINK!!!!
hello to everyone
I can't beleive no one participated in the Raffles Gold contest. And, are there such things as Raffles Gold car decals and mugs?
do ranchu prefer tank with big water flow ( liter/hr ) or just aerated water ?
fancy goldfish don't really have streamline bodies, so high flowrate will not be ideal
is there a guideline of the preferred flow (litre/h) ?
i guess 1x total tank volume per hour would be fine, but i don't use such filters
i use 2 sponge filters for my 4ft tank
what about the air pump, how many watt is enough for how many fishes and how could you tell that the fishes are having more than enough air to grow?? I am really desperate to have my fish to size 15cm body length.........
how about showing yr fish first and see if the people here really think these fishes can grow to 15 cm and beyond.
buy 1 15cm fish faster mah ...
oh.. the fish is shown in my avatar......
that reminds me..
after changing 80% (for new year la), those darn kois grew again, never cease to amaze me how fast they grow after a water change. but too expensive to change 3 ton once a month le :sad
doc, how often u change yours?
Never change soooooooooo much leh
Each week backflush all filter chambers and top up loss only
20 tons of water change will invite PUB to my premise in no time......
sigh.. used to do it once a month (real fun watching them grow), until cannot tahan (went to the next tier of pricing!), so now its once every 4-6 months for me, aside from the backflush and topping up.
if only can drill for ground water
hehe..
what about those houses with swimming pools?
a freind of mine tell me, if the nitrate and amonium level is still okay in the water, dont ever change the water because the fishes have already feel cossy and at home in the water...
water change ussually introduce a change and there is risk[u] some goldfish couldnt take it.
This water management is still buggling me...
its like, don't clean the house unless its very dirty.
maybe this will help
http://www.rafflesgold.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3475
of course clean too much also the skin will come off
Seems we are all confused about sustenance and grooming
I have no problems with sustenance. I just had me a bag of b.b.q. twisters chips.
Its the annual Chinese New Year $10 Million Hong Bao Toto draw today. Have you bought yours? I have bought mine. Its a simple way to buy hope.
This is singapore BIG event, how can we miss?
Ever since betting was opened, there have been long long queues at every outlet.. Scary.... I had to queue about 30mins for my turn!
Every since somebody told me if you strike big in lottery and have to pay back by some means in the future, I stop betting liao
Sian... not even $20
hmm.. no queue le my side.. less than a min.. anyway miss by 1 no. to get something back at least.. sianz :sad
I was thinking that since everybody here loves pets, it would be nice to see a thread dedicated to links to animal protection websites.
wow, how undevine Gohks. Well that's unfortunate.
my dogs == pets
my goldfishes != pets
goldfish as pets ??? I am so sinful .... hahahahahahaha
i wonder why SVR is not highly competioned as TVR ???
Well what can you say about people that consume animals in this age of enlightment. Wont be too long 'till man realizes the divine soul within each living being. But enough of that, like I posted before, it would be nice to see a thread dedicated to animal protection and rights.
No offence. Human consume living things just part of food chain cycle, just like we feed our goldfish living things
No offence at all taken good man I am a vegetarian though. And there even ways of consuming vegetable matter without hurting the plant or tree. But there are many rivers to reach the ocean of discipline, good man.
Yes, let us all save all living beings.
Yes, save living beings (read : goldfishes)
Including Roaches?? Eeewww.....
and also all the Deadly Pests
All life consists of energy. The same energy thats in you is within the roach, ant, and armadillo. And all have the possibility of attaining enlightment. Even within the body of a goldfish.
Hey! I like the TVR on top of this page. Is it from 1 of our RG member?
All the fishes belong to the members... except for those drawn.
Wow! very high quality one!
With the global stock markets taking a cruel bash
Billions are wiped out in a single flash
Should we hold and stash?
Or should we throw our once treasured trash?
All hopes at the moment look an impending dashed
Licking our wounds that look opened and gory gashed
Most unfortunates may reduced to just pulpal mash
Let's return to sobriety let's return to the Lord of the Ring
And hail The Return of the King
And that's nothing but solid CASH!
Anyone felt the tremor?
Me. In fact I felt a couple of times (once while watching Champions League) after the 2 major ones. Condolence to those staying near the Sumatran area.
Many felt it, others just realised it when the news announced it.
My condolences for those who suffered. :sad
You felt it too in Singapore and malaysia? Indonesia people now suffers from many bad things, earthquake, flood, airplane crash. Thx all 4 ur kind words
Ya man... it is a difficult time. Everything seems to come at the same time.

Can anyone tell me what is "bone"?
A lot of meaning...
Most direct is skeleton, "骨头" or kut tao in hokkein.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone
But in slang... bone means.. f**k, sexual intercourse. More specifically, a man f**king a woman.
That is to say, boning means... fcuking a woman
It may also mean "stupid" in sometimes.
wow!!! David Hou giving out his self breed TVR for a package of JRL!!!

No.... Leong... The next thing is... its rival "京都念慈菴川貝枇杷膏" also coming up with similar product

Got stripe looks better lei.
I just wore the black one to hong kong and china!!
You are the forum ambassader liao Must wear while you visit the goldfish farms
Welcome back! So any casualty?
RG "unfriendly" forum.Wonder if we wear the RG tees and walk the streets will kenna hantam or not.
Well, at least we know that you will not get bashed in Hong Kong or China.
Being called "unfriendly" is because we have often been misunderstood. Posting etiquettes and rules are already laid down clearly. Newbies barge in without reading them and make mistakes, got burned and bore that "hatred".
Got people also say that we have "double standards", that some things old birds can say while newbies cannot. Well, the moderators will delete undesired posts quietly, including those from newbies and old birds along with - no special treatment, unless there is a need to leave those posts open. The screamers are purely ignorant because they only see their own posts being deleted but not the process of oldbirds' posts being deleted (they are not online to see oldbird's posts being deleted).
And got ppl say RG is Iraq, and we administer it like Saddam Hussein What crap.
Anyway, neither the owner nor myself is really concerned with such "stabbing" as these voices only come from those 4 guys led by the "master" you know who. I personally can't be bothered nor let what peanuts-with-green-eyes-and-full-of-red-blood-streaks-exiled-from-some-alien-planets think, to change the way RG is run.
Anyway, this is Singapore. You want to get walloped and earn quick bucks from injury claims also no easy wor...
So... wear it. If you get bashed, I will be hiding one corner but I will stand witness for you
can use buy and sell thread to sell my RG T shirt?
Can.. but remember must wash... according to online worn apparel sales rules
Heard of 3 men and a baby. Got 4 guys and a 'master' meh?
Wu ya boh bro desireless, your maths ok or not? really counted 4 meh?
CRY BABY somemore!
Why I cannot this, why I cannot that? Mod this Mod that!
Mummy, I know why they don't like me! :sad Because I no need to study also very cleber. They are jealous, so many group of them...all jealous!
Mummy, they are all wrong because hor, I say 1 they always say 2. Cannot be I wrong one, because hor, I very cleber and always win mah. Cleber or not? Neber study also win. So I must point my 1 finger at those stupid people la.
Mummy, how can I be wrong? They can say what they want because they jealous mah. The whole world all against me, including my once upon a friend. Nebermind, they are all wrong and jealous, nothing else coz I sure no wrong.
Mummy, Mummy!

Maybe wash your car with changed water?
WHO LET THE WOLF OUT............meheheheh.......meheheheh...........
Ah... this show I got watch... Very exciting...
It's the lifestory about a lone self-proclaimed fighter who always fight for the wrong cause. Then many of his friends whom he has made used of slowly left him and some become his worst enemies. Some even turned back to expose his misdeeds. But then he still think that the whole world is at fault. And that the whole world is full of evil ppl pitting against him. And as years gone by he got schizophrenic with many split personalities and created many alter egos. A lot of people who knows him caught him talking to himself!! Either he is one confused man or the whole world is. Let the audience decide then
And then and then the theme song is also very nice.... ahem...
Baaah baaah BLACK SHEEP you seen any WOLF?
Yes sir, yes sir, one big fool.
One account as "master", one account as "friend",
And all ally accounts belong to one same man.
Thank you thank you...

It seems the Grand Prix Champion title only last for one day.... coz one of the league championship title was revoked. Oh, what a twist....

One day title not fun wor .... driving hard across the water. Try harder. Definitely add one more trophy from there.
Funny hor, whats car got to do with goldfish ?
Gooootttt... why not? Car is linked to goldfish by a "sifu" mah. Don't pray pray you know? As quoted from another forum, his product ah, "can transform a Tuscani to a WRX eater"!! Why ppl still buy WRX ah?
Also, many newbie accounts can suddenly spring up to support the product one 1 account introduce, 5 accounts support. Familiar, hor?
DYNO!!! DYNO!!! DYNO!!!
..... har ? then why sell WRX when one can buy the Tuscani that perform as good ?
Aiyo ... should sell to army lah .... tan ka siow ah.
Sell to army ah? Kekeke... Dyno, charts and everything must be completed in the business plan. Use many bogus "satisfied buyers" to boost the product, won't work!
This "master" ah, best liao. No shop but still claims got ppl from Hong Kong wanting to invest in his product Best, right?
erh .... how come so good and those manufacturers dun put into their design har ?

Maybe you mixed up with Gatchaman?

Just came back from Chieng Mai, Thailand. Checked with the taxi driver, Chieng Mai don't have any goldfish farm...
Go Chiangmai focus should be on pretty and fair ladies liao mah........
Even though the cool temperatures are ideal for goldfish upbringing,I guess the remote area does not make economic sense for fish farms as logistic costs eg transportation will be high when compared to Bangkok.
CP, I still want to go Chiang Mai leh, you like that post, my wife see no chance go liao!
