In a place of voidness, I need colours. Blue, Red, Green. May the colours tell of a story that will not let me regret.

Colouring Lives...
Friday, September 26, 2008
Very Cute.

Eastpoint was holding some 'My Fancy Goldfish Competition'. At first I thought it was quite a loser competition as I expected small kids to bring those small goldfish that doesn't really have any beauty to be proud of to participate. Then when they set up the tanks I realised it was a kinda big scale competition especially when they have this gigantic tank that contains 8-9 GIANT GOLDFISH to show the categories available. Nevertheless the tanks were open for the public and I took some pictures! Quite lousy quality because I used my handphone. Haha.



This is super blurry cause it was moving but I like the colour tone and it was bubbly!
Type : Ranchu

All of the goldfish are very very fat. Think it signifies prosperity and fortune or something. But one thing's for sure, they suffer from obesity. This one's too fat to even bother to swim.

Type: Ryuujin

This is also a Ranchu but it has these 'poms poms' flesh bulb growing on it's nose. A bit gross especially when it's breathing and when it sucks in the water, part of the flesh bulb enter its mouth.


But overall its very cute and bubbly! Maybe it's because it can't see well in front, it keeps on swimming to the tank glass, then the 'poms poms' will be rubbing against the tank, as if it's using them to clean the tank.

I feel quite sad for this little guy here. Firstly the eyes are of different sizes as you can see from the size of the pupils. Secondly was it can only look up and nowhere else. Hence it didn't really swim much. Then it must have gotten this kind of eyes due to the pairing of genes from other types of fishes. Maybe its parentage was goldfish + flatfish.


These two entered the category : mirror image. Although this pair didn't win but they are very alike already. So you can pretty much guess the standard.

Type : Dragoneye.(yes the pudgy eyes are 'eyes of the dragon')

While walking around to view the goldfish, there's this uncle saying some of the goldfish are 'stressed'. Having reared fish before, I do understand what he means and can see from some of the tanks where the goldfish face an inner corner of the tank and doesn't move. A bit sad but I do wonder, having a memory span of 3 seconds, it is able to retain the stressed feeling for quite some time! Otherwise it would mean that it is feeling the stress every moment. However maybe when nobody is looking at it for say 3 seconds, then it'll forget that it was stressed ever before. Haha. So one can learn to forget the unhapiness from this forgetful goldfish. (but do not forget all the contents you learned for A levels!!!)
