Guess where in Singapore?

Scats are native but usually found in the mangrove swamps together with other brackish water fishes

Canals are fun. I like to take a peek whenever I can. I used to catch feeders from the one behind my house until they cleared it up.

I've seen people casting nets at the same canal at the Rochor junction. The canals at Orchard road used to have heaps of Tilapia making nests in the sand too.

Wow... Legal to catch them? i am looking for residents for my brackish water tank... Scats... Archers... i have already Monos.

I think if you are catching one or two for keeping in aqaurium, I am fine with that. If you are going to fish them all up, then I think that we will be destroying the ecology of fragile Singapore, then we should not do that, right?

[kennethc]

Yup, i was about to catch a few good pieces.

Really nice looking fish in such clear water. I wanted to add to Budak's thread that this is the spoils of the day with my boys..

Your caught fishes are really beautiful, where did you catch them?

[Emokidz]

Wow, cute fish! Is that Betta pugnax? Or some gourami?

Thanks. Brings back childhood memories so it was fun watching kids with the net and getting excited over catching ghost shrimps and fish. Mostly, we go there to have a "picnic" and be outdoors instead of them playing with electronic games.

I wish it was a wild betta but I think they call this croaking gourami. I prefer the other fish .. the pond goby.

Hi! Nice catch at such a place. Do they stay there throughout the year? Or only at certain month / season?

[Yany]

Hi Aqualeap,
Its a pond so pretty much they are there the whole year through
As with our reservoirs, they have crayfish too! The males have claws that has very red colouring at the base of their claws which makes them really attractive. Some have blueish tinge in their shell too! Since I'm not into crayfish/lobster, I leave them be as they grow to be too big. I've seen one as long as 6 inches!

I love your pond goby, wish i can catch them but its really too far.. );

heh i went there with nets when i was little.. caught and caused many deaths of the wild guppies there.. and if i am not wrong i spotted a fish somewhat that look like a stone grouper (about 5cm long), i don't really know what species they are though.. and also crabs when the rocks are lifted.. and of course ghost shrimps,the glass fish that you guys are talking about , i have netted it once before too..

Looks like can be an interesting place to spend for the weekend...

Guys, Please do not remove any fauna from the park other than photos of them. As hobbyists, we should preserve what is left in our back yard as it is and not take from them.

Thank you.

[barmby]

Take photos. Leave behind footprints. Thank you.

KennethC. I like your avatar and signature. Super cool...

[Yany]

True, true. All livestock returned to their home after convincing kids that, that is the right thing to do

[kennethc]

Thank you, i take art o levels so i have the ability to use photoshop, Turns out nice. Haha.

[barmby]

You are indeed special that utilize Siamese tiger and archer fish.
