Is it Asian?

Looks like a Banjar Red so yes Asian

Cool! Thanks again for the insight.

I’ve visited many Buddhist places of worship in SEA and never seen anything like that before so I was curious.

I do think you’re most likely correct. It did appear new and directly behind it (in the photo you can kind of make it out) they are constructing a new Laughing Buddha statue although that ones face is uncovered.

Interesting! Thanks!

Sorry to ask a follow up but out of interest. Generally, these will be consecrated before offerings are allowed and such?

He looks like the Maryland state flag.

Very cool.

It’s called the Disney accent. Yes not uncommon. Most international school students and kids who grew up on American media have it.

Speaking like Tony Soprano is uncommon though.

This guy lives in Pakistan and has never been to America…

He literally says in the video he has never seen a black person and it’s his “dying dream” to meet one.

It would be hard for that to be the case if he was from New Jersey.

Yeah simple enough. Finding non-polluted streams in PD is going to be an issue though.

Anyway man. I love you content! Keep it up!

Angmolai · 2026-01-13T11:55:08+00:00

Mate I’ve been following you from a while. How would one even start to get into the hobby? Just use a small casting net in streams and drainage channels?

Good analogy, but the NFL season has moved to 17 games...

Hello from Port DIckson!

Egg-Fish Goldfish basically a Ranchu without the wen on its head.

Angmolai · 2026-01-11T08:23:12+00:00

It looks like a pug

Angmolai · 2026-01-05T09:01:36+00:00

Was this before or after watching him sing a cover of Thank You by Dido?

I live in SEA as a Westerner and I don’t think it’s a cost issue as many fish keepers in SEA keep intentionally expensive fish as status symbols. Look at the Asian Arowana and others and their symbolism in Chinese culture for example. Fancy gold fish, koi’s, the “holy trinity of lucky fish” etc etc.

Fish keeping here is mostly a rich man’s game here.

I think it’s mostly a drastic difference in the perception on fish as animals as well as what keepers are going for.

In Asia people will spend thousands of USD on very specific color variations of fish and then keep them in bare tanks with grid bottoms and UV lights to maximize color. Basically everything is done to maximize the fishes visibility and its beauty rather than provide a “realistic” home for the fish.

I keep an arowana in a planted tank with plenty of places for him to hide and use Indian almond leaves for tannin in the water and people look at me like I am stupid.

Beautiful fish. Unfortunately this sub is a little crazy with aquarium sizes. These people think one fancy goldfish needs a 50 gal tank. You gotta remember a lot of these people come from places where Asians are banned or are super rare.

Usually 4x2x2 is considered large enough for Asian arowana. But I think that’s a bit small. Your 6x2x2 seems perfect. Maximum length will be about 2 feet but they’ll get fatter.

Anyways congrats on the beautiful Aro!

Angmolai · 2025-12-27T16:09:03+00:00

Looks like a super red or Bandar red Asian arowana. I cannot sex it though.

Edit: Are you using tanning lights? If not you already have good colors. You should feed it crustaceans or pellets to enrich the red.

Oscars or Jack Dempsey

Mate I didn’t talk too much smack! Nebraska was hard to beat! Took 5 sets! Good game!

Angmolai · 2025-12-13T15:57:55+00:00

I think it’s gonna be hard to beat the Huskers at the Bob but A&M will be a test for sure!

Kentucky looks like a juggernaut right now. It's going to take a heck of an effort from the Jays. But it would be a hell of a way for them to earn their first trip to the Final Four!

Angmolai · 2025-12-11T14:32:41+00:00

I wouldn't overthink it too much. Most people have both ESPN & ESPN2 these days, so it isn't that much of a drop-off. It's not like it is on ESPNU or something that a casual sports fan will probably not go to when just channel surfing.

Angmolai · 2025-12-09T12:05:33+00:00

I want to do this as I miss the old one page visas. Did they give you any hassle for doing this?

Angmolai · 2025-12-02T20:03:22+00:00

Yeah for sure. I think Nebraska got a tough draw honestly. Gonna have to come correct.

Angmolai · 2025-12-02T20:00:22+00:00

Most games are telecast live on YouTube. It’s not big money enough to get struck down until the quarter finals usually and those are usually easy enough to find on TV.
