Chinese Giant Salamander?
I am also looking for it.

From Wikipedia:
The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias davidianus) is the largest salamander in the world, reaching a length of 180 cm (6 ft), although it rarely - if ever - reaches that size today. Endemic to rocky mountain streams and lakes in China, it is considered critically endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and over-collecting, as it is considered a delicacy and used in traditional Chinese medicine. Records from Taiwan may be the results of introductions.[2] It has been listed as one of the top-10 "focal species" in 2008 by the Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) project.

From other sources:
The Chinese giant salamander is the largest living species of amphibian, reaching a maximum length of 1.8 metres. It lives in cool, fast-flowing streams and mountain lakes and predominantly feeds on fish and crustaceans. The breeding season occurs between August and September when 500 eggs are laid in a burrow guarded by the male. This species is threatened by over-harvesting for the food trade, as well as the destruction and degradation of its habitat. It is now Critically Endangered, having undergone a massive population decline over the last 30 years.

How cute is that? It's like a Pokemon.


It's so cute!




People from China should stop eating them. Or at least breed them for food, not catch the wild ones.

Lapradei is still my fave. So sad after mine died. It was about 35 cm long that time, 5 cm in diameter. Stupid lungsfish's fault...

Does anyone know where to get feeder lobster?
I am looking for more variety of feeders for my lungfish. I am currently feeding it pellets, feeder fish, goldfish, shirmps, and mystery snails (it's the most interesting when it's eating these).
Feeder crabs will do too.

Imagine your monster fish fighting with the crayfish and then devouring it. Totally killer. Dunno where to find. All crayfish cost Rm 7 -10 each here. I want to get crabs for my aba-abas. They won't eat the snails.

Where is your "here"? I want to get a few then. Stupid LFS in Puchong and Sri Petaling so expensive.

My aba-abas throw the snails around in the aquarium but don't eat them. Maybe they prefer fish, but I'd like to see what happens if I put in a crayfish or crab. I think they are bored.

Frogfish, or stonefish, or something like that?
I'm looking for it too. The orangey coloured ones are cute!

I envy your tank.

NICE!

Saw a 1 and a half feet black tip shark (marine) for Rm 900 at an aquarium shop at Sri Petaling. Probably the only interesting fish they had there.

Yeah, did you pre-order them? Coz I only saw one there for a month already.
How big's your tank?
And post some photos of your fishes.

Yeah, it's a corner house. You'll see many filtration units at the entrance. There are fruits stalls opposite it.

New additions to the collection

Nice tanks!

2 feet for sale.

PM me if anyone is interested.

Hey guys, I wanna ask if anyone knows anything about the aba-aba knifefish being an protected species?

I posted an ad on Mudah some weeks ago and the ad was published. But today they notified me that the ad had to be removed until I provided some license.

"The ad violates the rules of mudah.my: Animal restrictions
Thank you for using our services. Mudah.my does not permit listings for animals prohibited by the Wildlife Protection Act 1972, Fisheries Act 1985 or the international list of protected species (CITES).

Does anyone know when this was implemented and if it is true, how do I apply for the license?

Gymnarchus niloticus

Or the African Arowana, or a lungfish.



Anyhow, this happened 2 hours ago, during tank cleaning:

Yup. It's interesting, though you can't keep it with any other fish.
Perhaps you could get polypterus fishes or rays if you want variety in a tank

Polys generally get along with any fish (as long as they are bigger than their mouth), plus they look really elegant when they swim. They're kinda soft though. My lungfish ate up half of my lapradei last year.

Wolf fish should be interesting too.

That tank.............I want it.
