Fuzhou Goldfish & Arowana Competition 2012

I visited the Fuzhou Goldfish and Arowana competition 2012 and I have to say that the show was a small part of the bigger show organised by the local Fishery Department, have a look at some of the photos that I took and I even had to chance to meet with Alex from OFI.

The grand champion of the show for Arowana.

Hope that the next show is better organised but the fishes there were amazing, many thanks to Mr Zhang Qi for the heads up.

Rotala Sp Goias

This is a beautiful creeping plant that can be planted in the foreground and provide an ideal hiding place for the shrimps. 

Took these photos of the display tank of Bioplast as I went pass last month. 

New tank for photos

I have a new tank that have been set up and running for the last couple of months, now I am able to transfer plants from the farm into this tank to take photos, some of the test shots.

Kindly pardon the bad shots as they were taken with my iPhone 4.

Unknown Crypt.

I found this Crypt. hidden in one corner inside the greenhouse, hope that the coloration stays constant and hope that I can propagate this unique plant, looks like a cross between the Crypt. Florida Sunset and the Flamingo.

Trip to Penang

Went on a trip to Penang and visited a Orchid farm, many thanks to Lawrence.

The plants in the photos are Jewel Orchid, I am told that it is getting quite popular in the US and also in Japan, am glad that I took this trip to visit him.

Elatine Hydropiper

Finally got my present, now to see if it is able to survive in our climate, did not arrive in the best condition but looks like it will make it. I will update as I go along. Thanks Ingo.

Najas Sp

Got this plant from a customer and finally it is growing on the farm and I am quite certain that this najas will do well in the market. It is quite strong and will most likely do well on its travel and it has quite bushy leaves and unlike normal najas, it will not break easily.
