At this event, we’ll ask one of the show vendors to pro- vide goldfish for a public education and judging event. The head judge will discuss how to choose the particular varieties displayed, and then will invite the public to “judge” these fish. The head judge will then provide an analy- sis of each fish, and answer any questions the public may have. This event has been very popular at recent shows, and we encourage every show to of- fer a similar learning forum. • The first annual AGA national show will be held in partnership with the MAKC show in the Washington, DC area on September 28—30th, 2007. We hope to see you all there, and will fill our members in on the seminars and learning opportunities at the show. We’ll have at least five judges at the show, including head judge Tony Reynolds, Art Lembke, Larry and Pat Christensen, and Peter Ponzio.

  • Effect of Adding Pumpkin Flour and Carrot Flour on Changes in Color Intensity of Goldfish (Carassius Auratus L.) Strain Oranda
    Available online at www.worldnewsnaturalsciences.com WNOFNS 26 (2019) 52-60 EISSN 2543-5426 Effect of Adding Pumpkin Flour and Carrot Flour on Changes in Color Intensity of Goldfish (Carassius auratus L.) Strain Oranda Rian Nur Ahlam*, Walim Lili, Herman Hamdani, Rosidah and Ibnu Bangkit Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Padjadjaran University, Sumedang, West Java, Indonesia *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Goldfish is one of the most famous ornamental fish because of its body shape and color which was interesting to be maintained. The purpose of this research was to find the optimum dose of pumpkin and carrot flour combination on artificial feed to increase color brightness of goldfish. Complete Randomized Design with four treatments and four replications were used in the experiment. For the treatments, pumpkin flour 15%, pumpkin flour 7.5% with carrot flour 2.5% and carrot flour 5%, were studied. The parameters observed were color intensity, survival rate, and water quality. The results showed that supplementation of combination of pumpkin flour 7.5% with carrot flour 2.5% gave the highest color intensity of goldfish with TCF code 0815 and score 2.11 with 100% survival rate. Water qualities during the research were still in optimal condition. Keywords: Goldfish, Color intensity, Pumpkin flour, Carrot flour, Carassius auratus 1. INTRODUCTION One of the freshwater aquarium fish which is quite popular among fans of ornamental fish is the goldfish. Goldfish has diverse body shapes and vary in colors ranging from red, yellow, green, black to goldish. Varieties of goldfish that are now scattered among the ornamental fish were recorded.

Browsing the multiple Borneo masks on Etsy and eBay, scrolling over tribal masks, I notice that they are being advertised from different locations around the globe. Either their authenticity is questionable as there too many of them or that these artifacts have traveled halfway around the world from their birth place to be put up again for sale, their abundance and dissemination resonates a natural process of selection, similar to the propagation of seeds by the wind or birds in the jungle, to be are scattered around the globe again and again. This movement of so-called cultural relics echoes the movement of people traversing through geographical and political barriers and highlights the basic human need for mobility and the constant search for a better life. The flattened and abstracted masks could be read in a metaphorical sense as faces of anonymous characters moving from different locations in the world, unique in the sense of the individual experiences that they bring about and similar to the imagined masks, through these movements, the individuals change and grow, absorbing and filtering experiences from the changing landscapes. In this presentation, both the wall-mounted, geometric and abstracted masks and the free-standing wooden sculptures composed of found souvenir objects allude to and explore in a symbolic gesture, this process of transformation and change fueled by movement and migration.
