Hi Mrs Goh,

Sad to hear DFI is closing down. Fond memories of my first visit to DFI still lingers in my mind. Still remember the very first few arowana books were all written In Chinese. Very first English arowana book was written by Willi Si, but it's not hard cover. So when DFI came out with a hard cover english arowana book I was so delighted.

Your departure from the dragon fish business signals the passing of the golden era of the Dragon fish. Thank you for contributing so much to this wonderful hobby .

Wish you and William all the best .. and take care.

HI Kelvin
Appreciate your kind words, really. Believe me or not, I too, still remembers your visit with Victor and probably Luc and another friend? And true enough, that was indeed many years ago.

Well, other than publishing two hard cover books, first in English and I later translated them into Chinese, I am here to share with you all the origin of the term which we are all so used to these days, ie Cross Back Golden.

The former Head of the then PPD (now called AVA), Dr Lim Lian Chuan was the person whom had advised us to keep Malaysian Goldens (another term for Cross Backs), saying this fish was rarer and commanded good prices. We heeded his advice and hence, bought our first batch of 20 Xian Leng Malaysian Goldens (the public listed firm in Batu Pahat) at S$1,500 for each 6-7 inch fishes. So, we really have Dr Lim to thank for ...

Not only that, we were even discussing with Dr Lim that since we are going to breed this exotic fish in Singapore waters, we should try to do away with the name, Malaysian Golden. And so, we have considered other options, Over Back Golden and Cross Back Golden. Of course, the rest is history and needless to say which name we had picked to use in our two English books.

Let's hope that the Cross Back market would pick up a little, and prices rise a little, so much so that all Arowana farmers would find it profitable enough and stay afloat in the Arowana business longer. In short, we do pray for a Second Golden Era for Cross Back Goldens ...

Take care, old pal.

HI Lawrence
Well, it seems no matter where we go, somehow or rather, we will meet you ... sort of fate, right?

About our 1EEO, 1555, 6091, they are all still in the Hong Long Fishery mud ponds ... and from what we know, 1555 and 6091 are still kicking and working. I know you have always been a great supporter of our Xbacks but my sincerest apologies for not being able to entertain your single Xback sales during the final weeks of our time at the farm due to our heavy workload and high stress levels during that period.

A BIG thank you to you, Lawrence, for everything! And here's wishing you and your young family, a Very Happy & Wonderful Life. May we meet again sometime ...

Take care.
Mrs Goh
