    If not I'll be searching all the bus stop at Bukit Merah for plastic bags.

    But really nice colors. Good capture.

    luck counts for a lot too Jian Yang said this is a very skittish fish but I found the opposite, they are very sedate and poses willingly. perhaps it is because they are mature. so now I am actively asking for mature pairs of killies since the breeders are done with the breeding they don't mind releasing the pair

    OK !

    I sponsored a couple of species during their last mass egg order too, those of us who couldn't breed fried, can at least throw $$

    True. Yesterday night he passed me 4 barbs. By the time I go to sleep, 1 gone, 1 going, 2 going to go. Sometimes I amaze myself.

    But! I still like small colorful fishes!

    I guess the only way you could keep them is by pictures, which explains your gift...... or through ALL your experiences

    It is a HIGHLY skittish species when kept in pairs or in small numbers. I have quartet at home but they're not spawning. I don't know why. Probably the male isn't interested.

    Benny, you want small cute fish? How about another round of Microrasbora erythromicron?
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.

    Hmmm, you mean Microrasbora erythromicron is actually colorful? Thought they are just mere contrasting in color

    I would say, shoot some Parosphromenus sp "Manis-Mata"

    you got simi fish huh? anyway very difficult to take fish pix in some other tank, more practical to borrow the fish into my photo tank. plus I usually squat there for 3-4 hours with the occasional uploads and RAW processing for checking.
