Lou han birth was not just create a 'scene' the world's ornamental fish, but at the same answer to the lack of species of ornamental fish to be proud of Malaysia. Naturally, said Iskandar, because during this country's neighbor empty ornamental fish species that can be proud of.

That is why, after lou han pursue as a hobby, Iskandar dare remove the financial director of a food distribution company. Jambi-born men were very confident business outlook is very good lou han in Indonesia. Surely this belief is based on the facts of this neighboring country.
Amazingly, every day the house was transformed into the showroom never lonely buyer. "Since the first importation, the sale of these fish continue to increase. The purchase came from everywhere.

Strong Magnet
Lou han was like a strong magnet. This fish could make people attracted to many devotee trying to have.
"I'm glad this was because the fish are curious about the complexion of that body. My friends said, that 's type can be read. Certainly not all have a unique ornamental fish like that, "said St. Adinata, lou han devotee of Solo. Not to mention the color combination is in lou han body, middle-aged man is getting crazy. "It was like a man-made."
Besides have a bright color, usually yellow or red, han lou body like a pearl in the form of scattered dots of metallic. "So, if placed in an aquarium with proper lighting, lou han will emit light from the pearl spots. That was so beautiful, "said Adinata.
Initially, Adinata admitted only collect birds only. But after seeing the beauty lou han during a walk in Singapore, the father of three children, decided to "hunt" fish this hockey. "My new collection is lou han three months."
Although classified as "players" new Adinata has collected 18 lou han. Among other things, leopard flower. This fish has a pearl spots very clear. As a result he was more comfortable for long days staring at Lou's favorite.
Lou han good, also has a balanced proportion to the body. There lou han bodied rectangle, round or disc-like stature. Both are so relish the devotee. "A good square shape has a ratio of width and length of an appeal 1.5. If more short or long, the fish was of the kind which is less good, "said Adinata.

Carefully When Selecting
For beginners, this hobby, Iskandar always warned-warned in choosing. "Mending select lou han small size first. Especially for beginners who barely get the sack. "But from there the constraints facing. Because not easy to choose a good quality lou han as a child. Especially if pedangangnya naughty and gives us a false lou han, such as Cichlasoma synspilum, Cichlasoma trimaculatum, Cichlasoma Cichlasoma muculicauda or festae.
The fish was actually still have blood relations with lou han. They are still in the same genus, Cichlasoma. Not surprisingly, the fish body patterned though only black spot. Head is also the same with lou han. It is said that as a species to produce hybrid lou han.
Lou-lou han han false because it can trap the devotee does not fit expectations. After measuring 7 cm, the motive in the body will be wider, thinner and more blurred.
