Hi!

I picked up these from a LFS in a wet market today.

Please give me your frank comments about the demekins. HappyBuddha shook his head when he saw them but refuse to tell me why.

They cost $5 each.

Now that's something that I never get to figure out, where do you guys keep your fish, you are buying on impluse, hand carried back from XXXXX, buy from a special source... etc

No lah. Two of them are Allan's demekin as seen in the 1st two pics. The other two are mine as seen here.
They have gone through 3 weeks of QT and I've combined them in one bigger tub for their final week of QT.

Nothing much to do everyday so... go LFS/Farms look-see look-see, pick up clues on how to select fish... hang around beng chek for a good laugh... open mouth big big and listen to chow bengs talk about top-view japanese lanchu. Life's more interesting this way. biggrin.gif

But I rarely buy new fishes leow; damn tough to flush them away ya know?
