I remembered this fish as a popular fad some time ago. In fact I was guilty of keeping one too.
Saw this specimen & bought it for RM50.... a while back, this may have cost hundreds of RM.
This will probably be the most interactive fish you can keep, responding to hand movement and food :)

Growing....

Forgot how fast they grow.... been 12 years ago since I had a puppy in the house. And the puppy I had 12 years ago is now being bullied by this new puppy.... aiya! "no big no small"
Sigh! a dilema.... when we want a game & athletic dog, it comes with associated problems ;)

Philippine import

An import from Philippine, mistaken to be a female in its younger days ;)

Conducive place to incubate ideas

Imagine a scene from an old kung fu movie.... hero gets bashed up, nowhere to run.... ends up seeking shelter in an old abandoned temple ;)

That is where I will be in a short time. Well, maybe the temple is not old enough, but abandoned, it definitely is. And seeking shelter, I most definitely will. And from there, hopefully some kind sifu will take pity on me and teach me some kung fu to fight back what life will throw at me. Or maybe I find a lost scroll hidden somewhere & I teach myself some kung fu hehehe! interesting thoughts!

Well, coming from an interesting person, I expect nothing less......  :D
