This is fantastic! I only knew about the local golf-ball-shaped pearlscale. I'm gonna buy our local breeds exclusively from now on. Malaysia Boleh, man! We really MUST show our support as Malaysians!

You and your gang are very admirable, Pilik-Palak. GOOD JOB!

Extremely impressed,
Kaz.

Base on the discription of all the goldfish you describe, i am just wonder when and where can we all buy it. Perhaps, at that time, others(neighbor) already have research on it.
