My housing area, was on top of hill area surrounded by forest trees. Some of the green area and hill side had been cut off and bomb away to make houses and shoplots. So far i feel only Archilles and Spartan from my house area really big/large, strong & excellent fighters. The way these 2 fs fight really awesome. These 2 FS was caught near a small garden behind a large bushes area that has been cleared off by due to snakes and alot mosquitoes, etcs.
Other FS i caught like from those Pandan, Spider lily, red leaves big leaves which was man planted opposite banglo or semi-D house only have average size FS and their fighting skill is average only except Hope. Xinan, Crossfire, Xonan also quite good. The FS tat i caught i front my house small garden also weak FS type .. Banana leaf fs was caught from banana tree planted by my neighbour.. can last like 2-3 chops only. Banglo, redleaf, pandan FS.. also same.... not strong or can fight long type.
I feel those area which leaves is planted by ppl and close to main road or town area don't have much big/large strong fierce FS.
Like you have said before.. those ongoing Aedes fogging , pesticide spray , etcs will reduce the no. of FS or kill them off.
Maybe some still got few large/big FS tat are good fighters but very very few..
I don't think Sigma, Chaos and Hades are really good fighters..if compared to Archilles and Spartan.
Most of my FS are normal FS not chop when i caught them .. those converted to chops later on become very fierce.
Kaizer, Spitfire, Thunderhawk already chop when i caught them.. but their size is average only. Hades was big when caught but not good in fighting..
now after converted also not so much improvement except can chop attck only.
At natural FS habitat which is far away from major city development like those small town area, Kuala Selangor, Bagan lalang, Seremban, palm tree estates , etcs.. the i feel the FS there should be more bigger/larger and better quality type.
Last time the chinese newspapers article i saw also report FS was popular in small town area. One of The King FS arms pic in the article also much thicker than the FS we have currently, its abdomen size oso quite big/fat .. even if its a macro pic, the FS arm really thick.
I'm the one who told you the large/big FS i saw bfr last time when i'm in primary skoll was about half my thumb size.
I also told you that the longest fight i saw during those days was about 1min+ where those FS keep chop,grab and push each other in fight and some fight till die or broke arm and teeth.
Yeah.. yesterday something weird happen again. I caught a female FS and i put into Chaos leaf nest..
The female FS try to fight abit and later Chaos get kick out from its nest and stay outside.
Same happened last tine to my other FS like Hope, Sigma, etcs.. Don't know why some male FS scared of female FS.
Most aggressive male FS will die die fight to defend their nest from other male FS..

When i said strategy, i didn't really mean you conciously think out of a way to catch FS ler... wat i mean our "ways" very different due to our different fears and preference.
I also tend to "believe" that kampung estate area may have better FS, that's why i also go to estate to catch. Well, that's one of the purpose we have this forum... to confirm these and other "believes". So far, my efforts to show that "wild" area have better FS have failed miserably. Even for you, viper, and all the FS you have caught so far.... which one of your top/big fighters can you say that you caught from "wild" area?
Your neighbour could be right...at that time, at that place. He was probably also a child then. If we could go back in time and bring his fierce FS which he caught from swamp area and fight your Xinan or Sigma or Hades, there's no saying his FS sure win. Maybe at that time, to him 10 second fight is very fierce already... i mean, who knows? I remember someone from Seremban told me(and you also?) that the FS he caught was half his thumb length. Maybe as a child's thumb length...certainly not adult thumbs length cuz that would be bigger than my Bavia!!
Back to wild or kampung area... even you said your neighbour gave you a FS which he caught from his kampung..also average size, cannot fight. When i went to catch FS in kelapasawit estate, i also stopped here and there along kampung area vegetation to fight FS..saw one male with one arm...look average size also, so i din catch.
Eh... so until documentation can acertain this "believe", it is hard for me to say it is true that wild/kampung estate area FS really are better quality. To me, i don't see how is kampung area conditions any different than the urban wilderness edge we have here in KL. If you compare to very scanty areas, maybe true la...but the places you have been to is probably the best conditions for FS, that's why your FS are so good.
Bronze still kecut la even though it is so big. Bronze is caught in an unkept unused land with quite heavy vegetation beside a large canal.
Your Xinan and Hope up to now is about 2 and a half months... coming to their limit i think. See how long you still can keep them. I kept Bro1 for 3 months and few days(if didn;t fight death match, sure still can keep longer), while Bighead for 3 and a half months.
