    About 15 cm. That should be the matured size already.

    cat cat of sarawak (pix)

    Here are the pictures taken by me on the "hunting" trip in Sarawak. Doesn't it seems like the same species as the one found by Mr Tree?

    Hi Mike,

    It certainly looks like the same fish. Mr. Tree is in Sarawak now, maybe you can ask him when you guys meet up later.

    And let us know too.

    yes, the river systems (especially those on the west and north east) of Borneo are connected to the Sumatran river systems during the ice ages when the water levels are up to 100m lower. The combined landmass is known as Sundaland and the major river draining Sumatra, Borneo and Malaya was called the North Sunda River.
    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.

    Mike,

    It was a great fishing trip. Anyway, try to feed it with bloodworm after the light off.
