i think its called badis badis
Got myself a weird fish last weekend at TB market. It looks like an apisto, relatively small in size and shaped like an apisto. The owner claims its not a cichlid nor an apisto but by the name of bahri bahri...anyone knows what is it?
It has a dark redish brown body and turquoise colour fins. It hovers like an apisto, aggresive and defensive when other fishes are near...
I am still waiting for someone to tell me how on earth do they manage to take close-up shots of their fishes so that I can take a pic of this guy for ID.

FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

i got some of them from a farm in lor halus
maybe if you drive around there you could take a look
they're very cute when bigger
I have bought 4 badis badis in one of the Jurong West LFS. ($1.20 each)
They are really timid fish and they need a planted tank to survive.
Imagine 4 badis badis in a 2ft tank... none can be seen! Guess they are always hiding among the plants. Me kind of worried about feeding them leh. When I feed my fish with worms, don't see them coming out to eat. Think I had to feed them with flakes as that is the only ways that the food will be scattered all over the tank...
BTW, those fish are quite nice and that species I bought never grow bigger than 3cm. (The LFS owner told me) They are even smaller than my neon tetras!

I heard these little badis badis are meater eaters. If I have a planted tank with tetra and pencilfish, and only feed flakes, but got shrimps, can they survive and will they eat my shrimps?
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

I dunno about the other species. But the badis badis I got are so small that even my shrimps are bigger then them! Doubt they will eat the shrimps.----------------

Hwchoy K&K has a new batch of badis-badis a few days ago. They are really small though.
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.

yah they are fairly common, c328 often has them but wonder what to feed them.

my colleague kept badis badis in his office tank once. starting dying one by one and he noticed that they're really skinny.
consulted lfs and later switched to feeding them worms.
yes, we think they're meat eaters!
