It seems like there is a surge in interest of people who are interested in investing in an arowana breeding farm. These investors are of course only interested in the pricier asian arowanas which consist mostly of the reds, cross back golds and the red tail golden. (or more popularly known as RTGs) As the countries in Asia continues to grow in stature and wealth, we will see a growing demand for asian arowanas especially in China.

The asian arowana’s resemblance to the mythical dragon has made them a much sort after ‘feng shui’ fish. They are considered a ‘good luck’ fish and many people swear by this! Many feng shui masters have considered them to be one of the three ‘lucky’ fishes, the other two being goldfish and koi. There was a ‘fourth’ one which is the flowerhorn or ‘Luo Han’ but I think this is passe now and has not really stood the test of time.

Breeds of Hypoallergenic Dogs

by Emily Furlongs

Hypoallergenic dogs may cause you to have fewer allergy attacks because their hair does not shed, they don’t have an undercoat, or they do not shed a lot dead skin cells, or dander. When looking for a hypoallergenic dog, you will have to decide on a breed of dog and also how the dog will fit into your lifestyle. Many hypoallergenic dogs are small or medium breed dogs. This means that they are small sized or medium sized dogs that require more attention than larger breeds. The following breeds of hypoallergenic dogs are popular with those who suffer from allergies: Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Bedlington Terrier, and Irish Water Spaniel.

The Irish Water Spaniel

The Irish Water Spaniel is a friendly dog that likes to exercise and swim during the warmer months of the year. These dogs have very short human-like hair that will prevent shedding and allergens from entering the air. The coats of these dogs must be maintained through grooming every two months. For those looking for a hypoallergenic dog that is larger than other breeds, the Irish Water Spaniel may be the dog for you.
