facility..
< ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->
my facility is small and definitely not as large as most farms and professional breeders. All tanks are maintained by me only and thus, every fish which leaves the facility is a meticulously selected product of my own breeding.

fries are usually grown-out in 4-feet tanks with little filtration in the form of the sponge filter. 2 x 100% water-change is done daily to ensure optimum cleanliness and little or no ammonia and nitrate build-ups.

weak and deformed fishes, a part and parcel of hybridisation, are constantly picked out of the growing juveniles and are set free into the local reservoirs, never sold.
pH levels are kept between the range of 6.2-6.8 and water temperatures are kept constant at 27 dC.
water is filtered through several 0.5 micron-sized carbon filters and is chlorine, chloramine and heavy metals free.

to aid the growth of fishes, aloe-vera extracts and Vitamins B & E are added to the water in addition to multi-vitamins and minerals which are fed to the fishes through diet.

the fishes are fed with a home-made mixture of prawns, beef, cockles and other ingredients.

no fish in my facility is enhanced with any delibrance nor unnatural hormones or colouration medications. Traces of asthaxanthin - natural red carotenoid enhancer - is found in the diet of prawns but is in no way excessive nor detrimental to the fishes' health.

i believe in the natural attractiveness of fishes, and not the use of unnatural means to 'create' a fish, which might later prove detrimental to the fishes' health.
