The monsoon is a coming and there are changes in the air. The weather is getting cooler and the wind is blowing stronger from the North. There are two main monsoon seasons in Singapore... Northeast Monsoon Season (December-March) and the Southwest Monsoon Season (June-September) In between are the inter-monsoon
period (April-May and October-November) characterises by showers in the afternoons and early evenings. It is usually hot and dry in the months of May to July and more frequent rain falls during the months of November to January. Based on climate records, November has the highest number of raining days while February has the lowest number of raining days. Understanding the Four Seasons where there are four seasons and Monsoon where there are monsoon seasons and how to capitalise on nature's climatic changes to breed is an Art. Like all forms of breeding... whether cat,dog,bird or fishes, there are pre-season preparations. As I go about preparing my fishes for Breeding Season 2013...here are another two 2012 Tosai.
As Singapore is in the same hemispshere as Japan, I try adhering to the Nichiran Standard of Breeding and that is customarily breeding starting at the beginning of the year...such that fishes born at the beginning of the year have the whole year to be a full fledged tosai. The Nichiran Standard follow the calendar year..for example if I spawn right now, fishes born from the spawn will only have two months of tosai experience(till December 2012) and by January next year, the fishes will have to be categorised as Nisai. A two/three month old fish known as Nisai is a bit too far fetched.
Anyway thanks for offering to buy my spawn...you are just a stone throw away and I will definitely keep you in the loop.
yo, you have show winners there dude!
