Wow, what an amazing experience I am having! I spent most of today with Mr.Kan, tomorrow am booked as well. He is introducing me to pretty much all the owners of the big farms in Singapore. I am learning tons, so much in fact that my head is spinning! 
I am going to have to be careful about exactly what I say from here on out since some stuff I am learning is in confidence and concerns...oh all sorts of things!
Here are a few interesting facts passed on by Mr. Kan to me today.
First, tanning is controversial - some say its a gimmick, others swear by it.
Second, if you want a dark red SR, raise it in as much darkness and muted light as possible. More sunlight/brightness makes for a chilli red fish.
Finally, grading juvenile fish of high grade parent stock does not guarantee a perfect adult fish; you are just as well to go for another fish of good parent stock that does not display perfect "juvenile" colouration. Instead, focus on swimming posture, finnage, and overall health of juvenile fish when choosing.
These are just a few pieces of wisdom passed onto me by Mr. Kan today. Lots more, but it will have to wait!
