My Ryukin Goldfishes

Dear Friends
-
Several weeks ago, I got 12 nos. of Ryukin goldfishes from an aquaria in Mongkok , 12 nos. of Ryukin goldfishes were put in my 36-inch fish tank at the 1st week, two died after a while, another two followed the first two. Up to the present moment, only 8 are still alive in the tank.

-

The people saying that goldfishes have a hunger for eating and they are like an eating machine. I believe the best way of breeding a healthy goldfish that is not to offer too much to them everyday, a little offer each time to the fishes shall be at 3 to 4 intervals as per my experience , also PH value of the water shall be cared and periodically checked.

-

In Hong Kong's aquarias, ryukins are always available in a wide range of colors from white to red. They can usually grow to about six inches in length and live six to ten years (if you are lucky).

A NICE LOOKING BLACK AND GOLD RYUKIN GOLDFISH

Now, 8 new ryukins have joined in the ryukin's family here, total 16 are in the tank. Hopefully, they can be a herd of beautiful and healthy ryukins.

細說"每個人都有一次"的故事

各位又有故事聽:

.
有一位愛惜生命的人，健康偏偏越來越差，最後他就聽從醫生勸告，換換環境，選地為良。於是外出旅行，一面選擇定居地點，他來到一個山明水秀的鄉村，那裡境色及環境都很美, 空氣清新,他很有意定居下來，於是問問當地居民，打聽風俗水土人情，他問了一位漁翁：『這裡的死亡率有多高？你可知道嗎？』那位本地漁翁說，『跟別處一樣,每個人總是有一次！』

當你在地上辛勞後所得的是多, 或在人生上失去的是多, 開心的時刻是多或失意的日子是多, 人生總是會走到盡頭...既定的人生何不作個好人作些好事.

This Happens every year in Feroe Iland in Denmark

Dear Friends

-
Please keep list going around the world....hit forward, Denmark is a big shame. The sea is stained in red and in the mean while, it’s not because of the climate effects of nature. It's because of the cruelty that the human beings (civilised human) kill hundreds of the famous and intelligent Calderon dolphins.

-

-

This happens every year in Feroe Iland in Denmark . In this slaughter the main participants are young teens. WHY?.........jus for a celebration, to show that they are adults and mature! In this big celebration, nothing is missing for the fun. Everyone is participating in one way or the other killing or looking at the cruelty “supporting like a spectator”. Is it necessary to mention that the dolphin calderon like all the other species of dolphins, it’s near extinction and they get near men to play and interact.

-

-

-

-

They don’t die instantly, they are cut 1, 2 or 3 times with thick hooks and at that time the dolphins produce a grim cry like that of a new born child. But he suffers and there’s no compassion while this magnificent creature slowly dies in its own blood. Its enough and it is necessary for us to send this message until this arrives in any association defending the animals, you are not encouraged to read it only as a common message while you see this, everyone shall do something to intercept the so-called "celebration".

細聽"愛迪生最大的發明"的故事

大家來聽故事,又有故事聽:

-
人對大發明家愛迪生說，『你一生最大的發明是甚麼？』

愛迪生說，『我一生最大的發現，就是發現神的兒子耶穌基督是我的救主，洗淨我一切的罪。』一次有人要在報上發表他是反宗教者時，愛迪生立即回答說，『具有哲學思想的人，對於不得不承認的事實，總該接受。從萬物所表現的情形看來，宇宙實在乃是全能者的意志的偉大成績。假如否認至上權能的存在，也就等於褻慢自己的知識。科學和宗教是由同一根源而來的，其間絕不會發生衝突。』

細聽"怎麼敢說人是沒有靈魂"的故事

致我的朋友們:

-
一位著名的博士，又是一位解剖學專家，素來不信有神，也不相信人有靈魂，認為人一死了也就完了。一次他在某地公開演講人是沒有靈魂，理由是他曾經解剖三十多具屍體，無論是在心裡、肺裡、胃裡、骨頭裡、頭腦裡、神經裡、血裡…，從未見過靈魂，所以人是沒有靈魂的。

*

演講之後，就請基督徒與他辯論，當時人人懾於他的辯才、學問，畏縮不前，不敢與他辯論。這位博士洋洋得意，正要宣佈散會，忽有一位鄉下人走上臺去，問博士說，(請問博士，你有妻子麼?) 博士沒有想到這位鄉下人竟會問出這樣可笑的問題，以為他是患了神經失常的人，但又不好意思不答，於是帶著輕視的態度回答說，(有的.) 鄉下人又問：(那麼你愛不愛你的妻子呢?) 博士被他問得又好氣、又好笑，勉強管住自己，回答說，(我很愛我的妻子.) 鄉下人點點頭，又問他說，『博士，請問愛這個東西到底在那裡？』博士毫不思索的回答說，(愛在心裡.) 這時，鄉下人立即振作精神，提高聲音，嚴正質問博士說道：(博士，你既解剖過三十多具屍體，人的心臟一定看見很多個了，請問你有沒有看見愛這一個東西，到底是甚麼顏色，甚麼形狀？)博士被他問住，啞口無言，不知如何回答。

*

鄉下人繼續說道：(博士，你雖沒有看見過愛，但你承認愛是有的，照樣，你雖沒有見過靈魂，但你怎麼敢說人是沒有靈魂的呢？)

Argentine Horned Frog on my palm

Dear friends

-

Last Friday in the lunch time, I was hanging out with my friend in the street near our office, it was a special afternoon because a special frog I bought in a low price (it cost me only HK$10), it was definitely quite low compared to the local reptile market price. This speical frog is called the Argentine Horned Frog, it is also known as the Wide-mouthed frog or Pacman frog. Wide-mouthed frog is the most common species of Horned Frog, from the rain forests of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. The so-called Wide-Mouthed Frog is a voracious eater, it will attempt to swallow anything that moves close to its wide mouth, such as insects, lizards and other frogs, even if it would suffocate in the process.

-

The lifespan of Argentine Horned Frog is about 6 to 7 years, also in a special case they can live up to 10 years with a biggest size like your homed telephone. The females can grow to be 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) long and the males 10 centimeters (3.9 inches), this frog was measured in a length of approximately 1.5 inches from its curly posture, so that why I said "approximately", it was difficult to measure its whole length. The Horned frogs' most prominent feature is its mouth, which accounts for roughly half of the animals overall size. Coloration is typically bright green with red markings, though dark green, parti-color black and albino versions also exist.

-

The following pictures of my Wide-Mouthed Frog are listed for reference:

-

Nowadays in the market, an argentine horned frog will cost you aournd HK$250 or above, and this frog just cost me a low price of not more than HK$10,.....and the most amazing thing is that this frog does not require eating.... so...by seeing the above pictures, I believe that you have been aware of the price why it is worth HK$10!

Welcome for the Newcomer

My Dearest,
.

Last Saturday a newcomer joined herself into a family of 2 torotises, it consisted of originally a Greek Tortoise (5 years old, Male) and a India Star Tortoise (5 years old, Male), this family is currently 3. The newcomer is a Greek Tortoise as well (approximately 3 years old, a Female Greek Tortoise). In fact, Greek Tortoise is also called Testudo Graeca or Golden Greek Tortise. Testudo Graeca is small with most reaching only about 8" (approximately 20cm), though there are occasional specimens reaching up to 12" (30cm).

.

(The newcomer was offered a family name "Golden Girl", this followed the Male one "Golden Boy")

.

The coloration of this has a bright yellow background with a few dark markings on its carapace, the length of carapace is 4.5". Unlike the male Greek having many dark markings. The people saying that the Golden Greek tortoises are very attractive animals, the most attractive one, I think, is .......the coloration of Greek Tortoises have got many variations, all in dark, partly dark and all in yellow,they require warm and dry environments like other tortoises. This tortoise is shy, so I will provide some shelters to give her a feeling of security, it maybe a plastic grotto, a wooden cage or another type of enclosure.

(As greek tortoises are shy animals, this one is like most tortoises, she doesn't enjoy being handled, she will often retreat into her shell and stay tightly wedged in with her scaly legs covering her head)

-

I put Golden Girl in the accommodation together with Golden Boy and Little Baby (the India Star). In general, it can be not difficult to explain why the Male one (Golden Boy) has been attacking or hitting at the newcomer's carapace since then she joined this family, the answer is most obvious, they are falling in love and will copulate. Hitting at female tortoise's carapace is a sign to express the male tortoise having interest in her.
-

(Left above with 4.5" long is Golden Girl, behind her having 5" is Little Baby, and at Right below is Golden Boy having 5.5 inch long)
.

As of this minute of this hour of today, the male one has been attacking the female one, actually it is not attack, is a sign, is an expression.

細聽"螞蟻對人的認識有如人對神的認識"的故事

親愛的好朋友:

以下有一個故事, 有一個螞蟻與人的故事, 我們一起聽一起反思, 凡事反思我們必有所得.

有三隻螞蟻談論：『聽說世界上有一種生物，叫作人，身體頂大，頂有能力，一動可以壓死我們千萬隻。我們要去看看，到底是個甚麼樣子。』恰遇一人正在那裡睡覺。第一隻螞蟻爬在人的肚子上面走了一趟回來，第二隻螞蟻爬到人的頭髮裡面繞了一個圈子。第三隻螞蟻爬到人的腳上走了一趟。三隻螞蟻回來之後；第一隻螞蟻說，『人好像一個大饅頭。』第二隻螞蟻說，『不對，人好像樹林子。』第三隻螞蟻說，『你們說的皆不對，人好像臭鹹魚。』因為牠曾爬在人的腳上。我們對神的認識，常如螞蟻對人的論斷一樣。人看自己為萬物之靈，但是用我們的智慧機能來觀測創造萬物的神，實在太渺小不足稱道了！你說自己是科學頭腦，神說你是螞蟻頭腦。
