    Maybe I get myself a luohan and fried it infront of TV to eat.
    Maybe the Luohan Empire will tumble after seeing this.... []

    Maybe I will be hated by Luohan owners and LFS owners for centuries if
    I succeeded ... gee. Ya. I Hate the Craze.

    PS. I am not convince that Hybrid is Bad. The fact that we keep Fish to enjoy.

    I hate the craze because its depriving us of seeing many varieties of other fishes. I used to drop by a new aquarium when i spot one but nowadays it's usually another LH shop and wont bother to do that anymore. The birdshops in serangoon north are selling them too! Give me a break!

    The only thing i hate abt LH keepers is some "black sheeps" among them .

    One incident. A couple in a certain LFS.
    Looking at some LHs.
    I was behind looking at some other fish.
    Wife gave me a scornful look , "You are looking at all these cheapskate fish while i have more class" .
    made a remark super loud "these fish will be worth a Lot more dear" (referring to a sad looking jack dempsey lookalike)

    Get a life, Hello Kitty bitch.

    yeah thats the only thing i dont like.

    Our hamster cage mentality can be seen in many different areas.

    LSZ, u shud see the reaction at PetSafari. One day when I came back from work, decided 2 pass thru PetSafari. Saw some Ah Soh rubbing 4D tickets on the fish tanks nearest the entrance. Then some more 4D punters also follow, took out their 4D ticket n started rubbing it on the LH tanks. Simply Unbelievable![:0]

    If they're newly created hybrids, how can they be found in the wild in longkang? I know previously, such fish might be thrown in the drain, but more often than not, they are used as feeder fishes for arowanas.

    Even the tilapia found in our drains were introduced.

    So it's not exactly correct to say that LHs are LK fishes.

    If you think about it, all the fishes that we keep rather, in a planted tank or cichlid tank are LK fish because they are found in the wild in rivers. Tetras, discus,Plecos, corys, even the mighty arowana. I do know that ignorant natives in Indonesia catches arowana and cook them for fish head curry. Just my 2 cts


    I'm quite surprised by the situations mentioned above. These are not problems of the fish, but rather people problems. Ignorance and superstitious people are root causes of all these unpleasantness.

    Personally, I don't believe that any fish brings any luck, not arowanas, not LHs, not giant gouraumis etc.

    I guess in the current economic downturn, a lot of people are grasping at straws to get more "Luck"

    this is a true story.
    I just bought a l46 pleco, and I let it chew a bit on my 4d ticket,, and lo and behold, I won the 4d, even though I wasn't much....
    I decided to try this fish based luck, rub my toto ticket on the skin of this LH I pick up at a longkang. no luck....
    I then killed it and fed it to the l46 and then let the l46 try to bestow luck!! wow, it worked...

    so remember: LH = good food for L46. and L46 brings luck. so all your LH owners. change to L46...

    Based on this, I've got a couple of funny scenarios thought up. These are True events
    Ok, I've ever seen a 1' koi in the drain at Lor Halus. Does it make Kois Longkang fish? There are also lots of Guraumis at lor Halus drain. So are they longkang fish?


    If a farmer digs a drain from his farm to a river and some fishes from the river happens to go into this drain, does it make them a longkang fish also?

    hi everyone! i guess this is a good thread to introduce myself as i like all cichlids!! including lh!!

    will i be cast aside?

    anyway, i was introduced to this forum by lsz when i was trying to lay my hands on some festae, cubans, and stuff, which i managed to last week!

    after reading all the above, it makes me wonder if i'm a no good guy keeping lhs, i did have that feeling in 1999, but now i'm confused.

    i would very much like to keep the originals, but lfs are not carrying them at all....when i bought my first lh, i forgot that it was a hybrid and from there, my collection grew and grew (like how the number of lfs grow).

    would like to start keeping some apistos too, anybody got lobang?

    was at TB Ben shop last week. someone walked in and look at the LHs. then he asked the seller (not sure if he is Ben, new to the shop) which one bring bigger luck. the seller said all will bring luck. few second later, he pointed to one and said why don't you get this. I noticed that that's one of the more expensive one.

    didn't stay long enough to see if the transaction done. just find it amazing... obviously LHs bring luck... to the sellers...
