Mosquito boraras = boraras brigittae?

[MrTree]

This one can be found in Singapore already

Go there and see but don't try to catch. Buy from shop easier.

[kuching]

Yup....buy from fish shop...better than being caught by the authority for catching the fish in protected area.....I''ve been to those reservoir of S'pore....saw people fishing!!!

You referring to maculatus? Even they are hard to come by these days.

Michael, it is possible that by the time you do get here, all the Boraras would have sold out with the exception of the urophthalmoides, which is somewhat very abundant in the local trade. If I'm not wrong there's a farm that sells them at $10 for a 100 pieces. More than enough urophthalmoides for any rasbora nut. If you're coming anytime soon, there's a tankful of the Sri Lankan Fire Rasbora aka Rasboroides vaterifloris available for your taking. I have 3 and that's enough for me.

The only Boraras that I really want would be more micros. I have only females. Lost the last 2 males to some unknown circumstances. When I got these, only 2 out of the 20 were males. Now I'm down to just 4 or 5 of the micros. Need to catch one out for a photo shoot but they very smart keep hiding at the vallisneria and crypts..

Today I'll go to Eco and get some of the sp. "Thailand" to add to my collection of the brigittae, micros, urophthalmoides and merah.

Wow....SG LFS got so many fish to buy.....i think i'll ship all those fish back in one big cargo container!!!Ha!ha!

I'll be very busy then...if i come...but not so soon.

[stormhawk]

Plan your trip first loh. Leave me a msg and I'll try and scout around for the fish you want. No guarantees whether they'll be there when you do get here. Popular species always sold out very quickly.

[MrTree]

Kuching, you will get everything you want in one place.

have seen some eels in LFS but don't dare to buy, even for photoshoot, nowhere to keep them without them eating the rest of the fishes.

you got take pics anot hur?

[MrTree]

Will try tonight.

[kuching]

Then....where i can find a lot of fish....since Mr Tree is given away all his fish?? Choy's house? or stormhawk house?

[stormhawk]

Michael, IF I still have some fish available I'll pass them to you. Just bought about 30 pieces of Boraras sp. "Thailand" plus about 15 pieces of Boraras maculatus.

Now I've got 10 urophthalmoides, 5 brigittae, 5 merah, 4 micros, 15 maculatus and 30 sp. "Thailand". finally my Boraras collection is complete. Now to get myself some kubotais and hopefully somphongsi if I see any..

Urophthalmoides very common locally. Shouldn't be a problem to get you alot in a good quantity. Don't worry about the rest they can be ordered in advance.

My fish, I only give to 3 guys. One fella is super good in keeping fish, another fella good in killing them(haha), last one is simplyt because very convenient to pass fish to him. :P

[kuching]

Wow....it is sad that i got no chance to see Mr tree tank....real 1,not pix lah.

Stormhawk....thanks for ur offer....i think i can get some fish from some people for free.....unless they don't have,then i will ask from u ......thanks...but still i am trying to control myself not bringing back every fish i never seen before.

[MrTree]

I think you cannot bring too much also. I was told that I cannot hand carry fish from Singapore to Malaysia when I passed the custom. Somehow I talk talk then the fella didn't take the fish away.

One place you grab everything for free.

[hwchoy]

myabe MrTree bring you to see fish farm and "special fish place" :P

[kuching]

then better take as many pix as possible when i visiting the fish farm....since the custom may stop me from bringing fish back to M'sia.Yup.....i'm sure there is a place where i can get diff. fish from Asia for free(u don't tell me i also know lah).....too bad leh....i don't dare to bring too many fish back....not good in dealing with those custom officers.

Need some help here with the Axelrodi. What do you feed it?

I bought 5 blue and 5 red Axelrodi from Ben 2 weeks ago. Now there is only 3 left !!! Just notice that when I rescape and clear up my jungle of Lobelia.

I notice they are not feeding on the floating food nor the sinking pellets.

Tried feeding them frozen brine shrimp or daphni. They bite and then spit it out. All the food I feed them. They swim mid level dont come up to the surface for food nor go down to gravel either. My other boraras are all okay with the floating food and pellets
