Your aquarium tank is nice. Your turtle is also cute. I have a six years old turtle as well.

In Chinese culture, yes, "fish"(Yv) sounds same as "surplus". Nian Nian You Yv ("every year has surplus"). Jing-Yv or goldfish also sounds same as "Gold-Jade" symbolize wealth in Chinese painting.

That's true. I got more than 200 brushes for myself. And I do sell brushes that I recommend on eBay.

Chinese painting is very sophisticated. Unfortunately it's not widely recognized in the West. I believe that Chinese painting is a very high form of art and interrelated with the art of calligraphy, poetry, seal carving, paper mounting,making etc.etc. Not to forget so many styles & schools.I believe the Chinese art is even more sophisticated then Most Western art. If you look closely you will see what I mean.

@MrPurplecrow You may try to do it with ink and water only first or use red color only.

@bodil15 The basic set of two brushes, or the combination hair brush(baiyun) if you only want to buy one. They can be found in my online store. Thanks!
