Here's my 2 cents worth....

Asking where you can eat a good hamburger is likely to get you many recommendations because burgers are aplenty AND when a diner tells you where to find them it's unlikely you can ruin his chances of getting a good bite for himself too; the chef can always make another one.

Good ranchus are rare in Singapore. If I know which LFS or farm currently has good ones (at realistic prices), I'd release this privilege info to someone I know and more importantly, someone whom I trust will treasure them. Why tell a stranger who might have an overstocked, nitrate-laiden tank and slowly ruin a good fish?

So, I suggest everyone especially newbies in goldfish to try your luck at the LFS listed in the FAQ section of the board, instead of hoping to get a good ranchu just by asking -- the experienced keepers/hunters won't tell you.

Is this sad or jus human nature?

I think you didn't read properly, or maybe I misunderstand your question.

It's neither sad nor human nature. You see... goldfish and other pets are live stock. You can't keep them in the closet after you are done with the initial thrills of owning a new toy. And, when it comes to "solid" ranchus, it's a sin to ruin them because a newbies don't know how to take care of them despite his good intention to.

I hope I'm clearer now. Like I said, I'd gladly tell anyone where to get a good burger if they asked. Such a tip can be freely shared but... no tip on good ranchus.

I did read it well but im coming from a diff point of view and I didnt make it clear but jus keep it that way.

Anyway....

When can a newbie upgrade his status?

When can someone access to tips on good ranchu?
