NICE COLORATION ....

[intrxz]

Check tis out..an juvenile common channa micropeltes with nice coloration..how i wish i can have it...

When I was younger, used to go fishing with my dad, he had an employer (kepala) a malay who work as the head of the logging camp. He gave me a young toman found in Pekan Pahang area. He told me this is Jelai, a toman that would grow up to be blue color. Kept it till around 12" and yes the toman was blue color like your photo.

Very beautiful...but sadly not much study about toman species, and till now cannot find another pc like that.

i have been morning market in terengganu. most of the stall selling live fish that they caught in wild. one of the stall selling huge live giant snakehead about 3feet++ for about rm30 only. :screwy: wish to buy but no place to put. :)
im just stand there waiting for someone to buy it.
lastly, a women bought it for dinner i though. they cut it to pieces and put it in plastic beg. and the sh too weak to fight back. :irked:
there, i also find out that they sell chevron and giant sh as feeders fish or breed

[intrxz]

i do agree that it's pity to watch those beautiful ones been killed and ended up in the kitchen

Is there a way to tell when they are young what it will turn out like? Mine are still to young to tell anything yet but the guy I got them from kept the best to last which I got. He said the line on them was much redder than the rest to.
