Cheap fish,eh?I'm surprise that there are such booth in there.As i know it's not cheap to set up both there,especially place like klcc(evidence by the entry fee of rm5,should be free by right!!)

Konbawa bro,maybe you can try to get they shop number or address or something.
when aquafair is done.you could drop by their place and get the cheap stuff
I surmise that they have plenty of cheap fish to go around.

by the way,what eel costing 1-2 ringgit,what type?the one you get beside the river?or perhaps fire eel AKA IKAN TILAN?

juz checked their flyers... they are not shops, they are " Persatuan Nelayan Kawasan Pontian", in Johor... and the eel are not fire eel nor the longkang eel. is the brackish water moray eel, the one tat look like the deep sea one...

btw, they sell few types of brackish water puffer fish, leaf fish and some i think caught from see-river side fish all below rm2 each according to their flyer.

so how rare is this little fellow?i tot to add this fish to my tank(planning to demote my pleco to other tank)
i hear from bensow, that this guy is a BIT slow on the side of growth, if don't mind keeping it with you for next 20 +yrs
just nice since it cheap like around rm 5(the shop proprieter with the look of surprise when i ask what kind of fish is this and what is maximal length this fish will eventually attain,he took few second to adjust the imaginary size of the catfish between his left and right palm)

leaf fish are quite expensive if not mistaken.. very nice

so how is the deal? tempting? or not worth it?

Check Marble Goby Enterprise. Prices are all listed on their site. Call them for additional discount. The transport is probably gonna cost you a bit. What are you planning to house in the fgt anyway?

If you have the space and commitment, then by all means go get it. Price wise I think it's a steal. I've got like 6 2-3 incher for $25 each at my lfs ~2 weeks back and I just switched to feeding goldfish instead of longkang fish yesterday

Anyway, I was told that our gov does not allow alligator gar to be brought into the country and the juve are all somehow smuggled pieces. How far is that true, go figure but I seriously rarely see them on lfs except few years back. I guess they started limiting the quantity coming in since someone caught a pretty big one in pahang.

Here's one of my 4incher feeding

Whoa quite a selection - the canvas one is new to me. Do you have one by any chance? I only ask as you've obviously got quite the collection of tanks. Btw, just curious where are these guys located as there's no mention on their website but their number has a local prefix.

You want the tank but you don't want to call? Well then..

not that i dont wan.. i feel uncomfortable talking to strangers on the phone....

yea they have quite a selection of tanks.. very nice

What size you after? I thought you were getting rid of your fishes why the change of mind?

i wana ask tat these alligator gars are slim and bit weird proportion of body. they have very big eye, big head, big nose and very slim body. at 1st i tot is normal at young age, but after i see more pics of alli gars has doubted me. and compared to ivanchua gar, these does diff in proportion... izi normal?

Ahhh.... finally someone finally deigned to reply to my msg.So,bro how big is your fishes?
i read somewhere ,that it is almost similar to P. armatulus.Can you tell them apart when they're just mere hatchling?The term Rapheal catfish,which species does it refer to ...armatulus or costatus?.costatus is the rarer one,though
i finally decided to get one....i'm fine with the slow growth that all...hehe

anyway,you did mention archer fish...how's that sniper? i heard it's from mangrove habitat...
Can you even put it along with other freshwater tankmate?

my fish still small...last time got size about7-8".but it already R.I.P so decided to get them back..

about the term Raphael catfish is referring to armatulus or costatus? ermmm actually im not expert in this maybe other member's can explain more on this

archer fish.is rarely i can see them sniping

yup i put them with my other freshwater tankmates!

im waiting for Exodon (Bucktooth tetra) to available again...hehehe

currently i have:
redtail barracuda,
redtail payara,
polypterus,
Jardini,
Distichodus,
Leporinus fasciatus,
Indo Tiger,
Nothern Thai tiger,
black ghost knife,
brown ghost knife,
clown loach,
raphael catfish,
and archer fish.

i thinks that enough for now...

yeah..i like datnoids too... i heard that they only display their best coloration only in well-filtered tank.
