Pictures of dead pickled fish. It would have been better had there been pictures of a live specimen provided. Thanks for the link choy.

my only concerned is the kiam hee (salted) hysginon doesn't show any bumps

mr tree has a great pix of the live dayingensis. search here or petfrd.

Quixotic, that's another interesting point. But an article in a recent issue of TFH by 2 people who bred Dario dario, mentioned that sometimes these little fish will choke on oversized food pieces. It would be wise to feed them with smaller food pieces.

I don't like to use frozen foods because they spoil quickly even when under cold storage conditions. Plus, frozen foods tend to lose their nutritional value very quickly. At this point of time I will only recommend the use of live foods, or sinking foods with an attractant. Sera O-Nip proved to be a favourite nibbling snack for some of my Dario in the past, but my results may differ.

If your fishes still love those huge frozen bloodworms, then you're fine.

Oh yes, you're in BB West, or East? I'm living in BB West.

Thanks for the reminder. I don't really use frozen food actually, only on the rare occassions. Mostly they are fed with tubifex and sometimes BBS. Frozen BS, daphnia or bloodworm are occassional treats.

Supposedly I am on the West side but to be precise, it's around Bukit Gombak.


Choy, thanks for the links! I just read the Petfrd thread yesterday... hahaha...

Gombak is nearby.

Tubifex works for me most of the time. Currently not keeping any Dario since I fear my angels will try and chow down on them. Strangely though, my angels are leaving my newly bought Bumbleebee Gobies alone. So I might try and get some Darios which are of a bigger size than the ones sold in the shops. No females as usual...
