Default Thanks For Having This Forum...

Hey Aro fans,
I'll like to take this opportunity to wish all forummers a Happy and Prosperous New Year... I'm very glad to be able to chance upon this forum and I have to admit, I've learnt a lot from the brothers (and sisters??) here in the forum. From simple water parameters to complex understanding of the fishes, I've read much and absorbed much...

I've also learn from you guys how to look at fishes and also not to be conned by some retailers out there... For info, I was at a LFS at Upper Serangoon and this Uncle keep pushing me to buy one of his RTG at $438 while the whole selection of RTGs that he have are tagged at $488... He keep telling me it is good buy coz someone paid $50 deposit and never collect the fish, upon close observation, i noticed that the fish had lost about close to 10 scales and slowly recovering... thanks to you guys here, I know how to differentiate a a good buy and a good bye...

As I've been leeching from this site for a while, let this be my first time I showcase my little baby... I got it from a friend so I don't know what kind of aro it belongs to... I got it at 2 inches in Aug 05 and it is now a whopping 10 inches... Attached are the pics... As I've grown more and more confident in Aro keeping, I'll be looking into getting a SR or XB sometime this year... I'll be asking you guys for suggestions then, till then, may all bros (and sis) 'HUAT AR'!!!!!!

Yup yup, not only is it addictive, it is also costly (next fish)... not counting the effort too... But it's nice to see him grow into the beauty that he is now... I shall show you guys the pic when i first got him...
