Need help to identify these killies

[Limbeh]

Hi everyone,

I was at sungei tengah two weeks ago and I saw some fishes with a white spot on top of their head swimming inside a pond at my dad's friend farm. He told me that they are difficult to catch and I can keep whatever that I manage to catch. It so happened that I manage to caught three of them and brought them home. I realised that they looks like killies, only thing is that I don't know what's the name.

I have uploaded their pictures here:

Can someone help me identify them? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

I believe it is Aplochelius panchax - (Blue Panchax) which can be found locally.

Take a look on this thread

Kho got it right, it is indeed Aplocheilus panchax. They're very fast swimmers and not very easy to catch.

Hi all,

I realised that they are very good jumper too, and I had to lower down my water level or risk finding them dried up outside the tank. As such, I would like to give them away or if possible trade them for a small amount of xmas moss or any other things which fellow forummer have in excess.

Thanks.

Cheers,
