OK, enough of danionins, look what I found in a plastic bag near a bus stop in Bukit Merah! a pair of Simpsonichthys igneus Costa 2000.

Seriously, you found it at a bus stop!?

Cheers,

Chey!!!!

If not I'll be searching all the bus stop at Bukit Merah for plastic bags.

But really nice colors. Good capture.

Cheers,

luck counts for a lot too

Jian Yang said this is a very skittish fish but I found the opposite, they are very sedate and poses willingly. perhaps it is because they are mature. so now I am actively asking for mature pairs of killies since the breeders are done with the breeding they don't mind releasing the pair

Cool!

And if your tank get's crowded, you know who to look for.

OK !

I sponsored a couple of species during their last mass egg order too, those of us who couldn't breed fried, can at least throw $$

True. Yesterday night he passed me 4 barbs. By the time I go to sleep, 1 gone, 1 going, 2 going to go. Sometimes I amaze myself.

But! I still like small colorful fishes!

I guess the only way you could keep them is by pictures, which explains your gift...... or through ALL your experiences

It is a HIGHLY skittish species when kept in pairs or in small numbers. I have quartet at home but they're not spawning. I don't know why. Probably the male isn't interested.

Benny, you want small cute fish? How about another round of Microrasbora erythromicron?

Hi Rashid,

Believe or not, I still have those I bought from Charles of the Old Biotope since almost 2 years ago! Just didn't borther to photograph them.

Cheers,

Haha, Choy can adopt the rest of the fundulopanchax gardneri 'Lobajo" that Ronn passed me the other time, think i do have a pair of adolescent left.

And Choy can come adopt my neon tetras

Hmmm, you mean Microrasbora erythromicron is actually colorful? Thought they are just mere contrasting in color

I would say, shoot some Parosphromenus sp "Manis-Mata"

Nah, only slight coloration the last time i saw it in my home tank (start counting toes).

However, you want to shoot a pair of betta falx?

you got simi fish huh? anyway very difficult to take fish pix in some other tank, more practical to borrow the fish into my photo tank. plus I usually squat there for 3-4 hours with the occasional uploads and RAW processing for checking.
