[quote:1a5f49e94b="hwchoy"][quote:1a5f49e94b="stormhawk"]kuching, I saw some nice Sundadanio axelrodi.. "blue" variant with FEMALES. [/quote:1a5f49e94b]

I looking for Sundadanio axelrodi var. ‘green’.[/quote:1a5f49e94b]

According to another source of info.....this variant can be found in Kalimantan barat....but i think Bantan 1 is much prettier!

[quote:0fe88c24fc="kuching"][quote:0fe88c24fc="ZaZ"]So Mike, which variant Did you get from Sarawak?[/quote:0fe88c24fc]

According to my info.,Sarawak S.axelrodi is blue variant (my MOST WANTED FISH)....but i searched for more than half year still can't find one...only found the light yellow variant. The worst, none of them can survive in my new tank...I think the water condition is still unstable for those sensitive fish.(another heartbreak)....The only solution:FLY to S'pore & buy as many as i can....[/quote:0fe88c24fc]

down here blue variant very common (when they're in) but also have red (is this the "light yellow" you referring to?) but I have never seen the green myself although I was though it came in once. I have not even seen a picture before, not even on RVA.

Choy, none available for the micros. My micros are the survivors from an original 20 that I bought from Biotope more than a year ago. These are micros from Nakhon Sakhon. The brigittae and merah were new additions from my recent visit to CS. Very beautiful little fellas. I should be adding the sp. Thailand very soon.

Just one problem.. Now where shall I find maculatus at a low price?? Seems there's no new imports of this species at this moment.

Wow...i'm so admire u guys lah...can buy so many wild fish in S'pore...here in my hometown.....nobody really interested in wild fish...they thought wild fish r from longkang 1....

The first pic looks like the red, they vary from yellowish to orangey to red depending on condition. I have a small group previously in a 1ft cube and they suddenly decided to colour-up and became quite red, I thought they were wanting to make the whooppee.

the second pic I can't really see, looks like one of those "platinum" version of tetras. sekali got platnum sundadanio hor? sure sell for $10 each

80% of my betta spp came through S'pore. That include persephone, a Malaysian spp.
The last time I saw B brigittae in KL was August 2003. Maculatus, last seen .... early last year in Terengganu.

All ur fish fr the fish shop....u r not collect fish fr longkang?

[kuching]

sometimes i have to be very "thick face" to catch fish at longkang....the kampung boy will laugh at me....."that uncle still like kid,catch fish at longkang!" ......wow...i have been laughed by so many people for collecting fish....before I met Mr Tree & his friends...I thought my cousin & i r something wrong.....goto catch fish at longkang...but now,i know i still got a lot of friends out there sharing the same hobby!

[stormhawk]

Kuching, the 2nd pic is possibly the blue form of the axelrodi. It has that sheen at the belly area. Sometimes they don't show alot of colour unless they're kept in proper conditions. I wanted to get a pair from the shop but it so happens they'll chase after my Boraras and try to nip them.

too cheap for brigittae, very possibly urophthalmoides unless you are very sure of your competency to identify.

what 3 variation? you have seen blue and red, I have not seen green. is there others?

[kuching]

I think the Bintan one is different variant too....got a red line on the lateral line!

My 1 is not blue variant...the sheen belly is just the reflection from the sunlight....

I hope i can bring back all those boraras & s.axelrodi once i come to S'pore to buy all those fish.

The brigittae(s) were from AI, Subang. The maculatus(s) were from a swamp here in Terengganu. Mr Tree was at this very place before but none seen.

Michael Schluter got the pix of green variant.....note ; "grun" = "green"...German word.
