Black ghost knife fish =D

being one of the ancient fish, the optimistic attitude of BGK will surely amaze its owner. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

guys, i need ur favor, can tell me how to differentiate an alligator gar from other gar fish??

i know alligator gar has wider and shorter snout. however i really hope to have certain proofs since alligator gar is not a cheap fish.


Added on November 22, 2010, 12:41 ambtw, can i know how to differentiate their sex? and wat are the diffs of male and female Alligator gar? like in terms of size, shape, temperament etc.

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.
