New Year, New Beginning ~ 新的一年，新的開始

人生最大的樂趣是做人人都說你不能做的事。


The greatest pleasure in life is doing what other people say you cannot.

A couple of the better ones

Finally I have completed most of the work of revamping the Oozeki Ranchu Club website to an all-new look-and-feel. For some of you who had enquired, I am sorry for the delay, the updates of the OARS are in place now.

Some updates:

Pearlscale:

My 3-month-old pearlies are 7cm to 8 cm long. They don't need a lot of my attention now that they are accustomed to bigger pellet food. I am glad that there are more fishes converging to my desired specifications. Pearl-like scaling for some of the better fishes has extended all the way to the peduncle joint.

Some seed fishes this year

TVR:

I had a few small spawns of TVR so far. The latest spawn was just four days ago while the first spawn was on 27th December 2012. Strictly speaking, by the Japanese classification, the fries in the first spawn should be Nisai this year as they were spawned last Year. What a way to lose their childhood like this :(

Gosh! These are
my Nisai!

The weather seems to take a 180 degree turnaround to be very warm and humid. Probably I could only expect bigger spawns in the later part of February. It maybe difficult to spawn the TVR, but this is the challenge that makes the problem even more interesting to overcome.
