not easy to keep such wild caught fishes alive. for one, i used to go malaysia to explore the small rivers and used to bring back small fishes, bettas but they keep on dying. seems quite weak to me but when i use indian almond concentrated solutions they seem to have a better chance of surviving but i wouldn't suggest catching from our natural "ponds" as they already have very little livestock. not to mention the amount of parasites that you could introduce into your tank. crayfish,yabbies especially, they might contain lots of planaria in them(have experienced this and had to re-cycle tank after i atomic bombed it)
Too much of a fish SIAO to quit fish keeping/fishing..
Yany, I have a suggestion for your next trip to the park. If you net an animal, put it in the plastic tank and teach your kids how to identify them. Let them attempt to draw the animal or photograph it by themselves with your supervision before releasing. That way, you can still make it both educational and fun.
You can also ask them to make notes on the habitat etc, which can be very useful for that Young Scientist badge thing that primary school kids have. I remember it took me awhile to get my Zoologist badge when I was a kid.

Back to Killies... slowly.
I keep sulawesi shrimps, tetras, birds, exotic pets, herptiles and monster fishes.
The pond at the Science Center was my favorite spot to learn about aquatic insects and fish when I was in primary school many years ago.

Do they still have that in school?

"if he cant be bothered to take the time to write his question properly, why should I take the time to answer him."
According to the Science Centre site, yes, but I think it's optional from school to school.
