    Fish and Fishes Aquarium (ex Ah Pek farm in Pasir Ris) also had a tank couple weeks back, not sure if they still have.
    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 got some 3, 3.5 cm ones from plantas, 1.5 bucks each.still left 5, 6 fish there i guess..there are green type and slight orange type. all my green ones are more fat, not really sure, but could be females.

    gelius is slow growing barb. i have another 3 small ones (2cm) for about 2 months already but not really growing at all.

    i am not sure whether it is the size difference, the big ones at my home and small ones in my office tank looks quite different. the big ones look more like so called "Puntius canius(hope i spell correctly)" in the old pisces rasbora/barb book. in which the description says the "P Canius" has an extra band compare to gelius.
