Sale of 231 Neo Tiew Crescent

Hi Dave
Appreciate your kind words. All we did was to spend a good part of our youth, ie a good 20 years, towards the conservation and production of this Endangered Species, that's all.

But as you have said, if we did bring any ''live'' to this industry, well, we are glad to learn that if indeed that was true.

Thanks for giving us the support when we needed it. All the best, Dave.

HI GSC
Thanks for your well wishes.

Contrary to rumours that we are migrating, we are merely spending more time in places that we love, ie Europe as a whole and Italy in particular. In the past, we used to rush back to the farm after a 4 nights or 7 nights stay in Europe. But now, we certainly can afford to stay a good 3 weeks in Europe.

Much appreciated for the kind words and may your dreams in life be realized, too!

Hi Mr Lim
You, too!

Thanks for your recent support. It is people like you whom had made our last minute, 17 auctions a real success. Though very stressful on my part, each and every auction was sold with no leftover fishes. Very grateful to all participants in the auctions which had brought us joy, excitement and helping to clear some fishes, too.

Here's wishing you the very best!

HI Mr Wong
This is one post which I had shed a tear or two for, very touching indeed ....
very well written I must say.

Well, DFI success is not heaven fall as we had to sacrifice most dinners with family members (having to make rounds in the mud ponds checking if there were new broodings from 6-7.15pm daily), and work during most Public Holidays and Sundays, too, thus not being able to go home for a few days in a stretch (stay over in the farm).

And most people have said that we were far too young to retire ... Well, like you have said, we had actually wanted to work a few more years but the market sentiments for Ornamental fishes in general and Xback Goldens in particular is not ideal. As most would recall, Xback prices had clashed some 90-95% since 2011 when an adult fish was priced S$3,000-3,500 then but is now, only selling for S$150-250 each (see my recent auctions?). Very very sad that each and every fish that we Arowana farmers sell in the past 4 years, we are literally bleeding blood ...

Nevertheless, we would like to wish you and your loved ones, a healthy and happy life. Many thanks for such a moving post, well appreciated indeed.

All these years we have grown together with DFI an ever-presence in this platform... and we had actually wished it would last for more years to come.

On a personal level, I wish health and happiness for both.
Sunday Breakfasts and more family time, not forgetting the personal space to pursue things both wanted to do all these while but shelved aside...

DFI may be now a page in history, but the beautiful memories remain.

HI ExcelZor
Many thanks for the kind words!

Well, since we have left all our Adult brooders in the mud ponds including renowned brooders like 6091, 1555, 1EEO for Hong Long, our fishes are strictly speaking, still in the market for all to enjoy. It is just that they will come under a different farm name and Certificate, that's all.

Hence, for those of you who believe in the DFI Xback quality, do continue to lend your support to Hong Long Fishery Centre.

Thank you again and all the best!
Mrs Goh

HI Jesto,
Much appreciated for the well wishes and kind words, too.

Well, how many 20 years would anyone have? We have spent a good 20 years on the conservation and breeding of this once prized fish and we felt that we ought to give ourselves more time to do the things which we have always liked but plans shelved due to the fish farm.

As live stocks are very unpredictable and mortality rates could be very high over night, most fish farmers cannot help but to feel ''tied down'' to the farm. Even when we were overseas, our minds are still thinking of the farm day and night.

Well, at least from now onward, we can concentrate better on travelling to places which we have yet to see or re-visit places which we liked very much eg Italy. Like you said, life must go on.

All the best to you, Jerto.

This is sad but life must go on.

My DFI poster signed by William is now a collectible.
