Hi Anrew and B T,

Stan shouldl be back by the time Andrew is in town.

We will invade Bilik Singapura in FULL force....Andrew...get ur any pao ready !!!

Ha!ha!ha! You want Ang Bow from me????? You must suck your thumb first........then you are qualified to be a kid to deserve an Ang Bow.

another alternative is to ask Uncle Lim to give me a huge Ang Bow first....and I will share part with you all......hmmmm...

Take care mates,
Andrew

David is thinking of his age in discus keeping term.
In that sense, he is an adolescence.
Many of us, me included, are still babies eating artemia.
So your "ang pow" should be in the form of 'tips' in discus keeping.

Cheers!

B T,

Only one great mind can read another's..........

Thanks for clearing this up with Andrew....but if Andrew actually gives out the traditional Ang Pao, it means he has wollup Uncle Lim and have a Prosperous New Year.

Will get in touch with you when you are in town.
Pls check with the front desk for any message from us when you check in.
Have not heard from Stan recently.
Sound like he's been to Jakarta recently.

Cheers!

yes, i'm in jkt. bt knows the hotel. we collected from your wife last time.
virus exterminator. i think the pro more is for adult discus only. using garlic already. the smell is quite strong-just one clove to 3 ph.

[Andrew Soh]

Now I understand.....thanks for clearing up...almost wanted to cancel my trip.

But don't worry, everything is under control....If uncle Lim is kind enough...and I get enough.....dinner will be on me..yes?

The hotel is correct, Stan. Don't use too much garlic...just as according to my recommendation in my book. Too much, the discus will not eat the food.

Ciao!
Andrew

Stan,
There's odourless garlic tablets available in the pharmaceutical stores, but quite hard to get since most of them sell garlic oil!
Bet u will find them useful...
cheers!

Hi Nick,

Can buy those for Garlic bread...cheaper but all these are still expensive and may in cases loses out in substances like allicin, ajoene, and diallyl sulfide....most importantly the latter.

Raw garlic is better and mix should not exceed 20gm to 1 kilo of feed. Discus may refuse food with more than 20gm/ kg.

Take care,
Andrew

Yes...Andrew is so well informed and sooooooooooooo knowledgeable.

A CNY meeting to pick his brain is a must.

I used to buy a brand of garlic powder in 100 grams pack but sad to report it is no longer available .

Indeed, I have come across an article on ordourless garlic which had been void of certain critical ingrediants that makes it work effectively. In this case, the more smelly the better.......hahaha.
