Aquafair 2010 - Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre

This year's Aquafair 2010 was a bit disappointing. There wasn't much to see as other big players like Xien Leng, AI and others weren't present. Here are a few photos I've taken on that day :)













None of the planted tanks look really spectacular, except maybe this, no.3 winner :) Sorta looks like a tank-setup mimicking the flooded dam of Kenyir where great tomans and huge patin roams the open waters. Pieces of wood breaking the water surface makes ideal hang out spots for this giants. But I doubt anything grows at that depth of water though, but love the idea. Maybe an inspiration for my next planted tank :)


Some pictures below of the usual suspects. Discus and ever present arrowanas. I missed the last Aquafair's 2008's arro-planted tank setup which had a beautiful dragon swimming in a aquatic garden...blissfulness.






As you can see, there weren't many folks around even on a Sunday afternoon. Maybe because they were also having a Kid's fair in the next hall, and all we have are the overflows from bored kids n anxious parents around :(

This is the 2'nd price winner for this year's contest. Being the case that everyone's hogging the main tank where the 1'st price winner swims, i couldn't get a nice enuff shot of him.






In the end i ended up taking photos of other animals! :P

Here's a picture of MAC's booth! With someone famous boothing :)


Here's hoping for a better Aquafair 2012!!
