The fish looks good! I am suprised that the lungfish hasn't attacked the clown loaches or any other fish.

[johnuskglass]

the CL also like to snatch prawns frm him

[GriF]

That is one unique looking Congicus you have there.
I hope it's fins will recover soon.

[channarox]

ow.
he looks awesome.
btw,theres one at c328 too.
very aggressive one.
tried biting me through the bag. :nilly:

[qianjun]

yah, hope his fins will recover soon.

but unique in what sense, the coloration or the patterns?

c328 have? where did they put, when there recently but din c any.

=)

[channarox]

back of the shop on the floor in a bag.

[GriF]

but unique in what sense, the coloration or the patterns?


=)
coloration

[channarox]

hmm..
there seem to be a few here in singapore which have the same coloration.

[GriF]

hmm..
there seem to be a few here in singapore which have the same coloration.

wow that's nice..... I'm used to seeing the grey (blue)/black type..

[channarox]

wow.
blue.
i'd love to see one.

[GriF]

wow.
blue.
i'd love to see one.

blue as in grey.

[Weylin]

How much do u think shipping would cost ? I want one...

[qianjun]

shipping, hmm, i nv tried b4...maybe can ask ur local fish shop.

i saw the lung in c328, yah, looks rather similar, din u happen to ask their price?

is an albino worth a keep? heard qianhu sells for a few hundred for one footer i think.

[channarox]

an albino would be NICE!
but to me i wouldnt pay for an albino MAL since an albino WAL looks pretty much the same.

[qianjun]

hmm, wer can u find an albino wal, n wats the price like?

[Weylin]

an albino would be NICE!
but to me i wouldnt pay for an albino MAL since an albino WAL looks pretty much the same.

I agree they do look the same...

Are they available there ?

[GriF]

I would probably pay much much more for a albino WAL...as far as I know they do not excist. SOmehow I have only seen dolloi, PAC (congicus) and PAA(Aethiopicus) in albino form..

p.s. Is it possible to get Protopterus Amphibius in Singapore???

[GriF]

If you happen to buy a Ablino WAL I'll take it of your hands;)

[qianjun]

i have yet to c an amphibious here in singapore...

albino, hmm, i go look around c wat albino i can find, haha...

[channarox]

oh right.
theres no albino WAL yet...
hmm...
but ive seen an albino dolloi in c328 only once in a few years.
i think it should cost about 100 plus at a small size.

nope,i dont think theres amphibius anywhere.

[GriF]

oh right.

nope,i dont think theres amphibius anywhere.

100 SGD..or US dollar? here (in the netherland you pay between 500 and 900 euro for a albino lungfish (dolloi or aethiopicus) in SGD that is +/- between 1100 and 1900 sgd.

[channarox]

urm...
SGD. haha
thats ALOT for a lungfish!!!
even an albino!

[GriF]

urm...
SGD. haha

yes it is alot....but if you want on you want one...I have no problem spending some extra cash on a fish i realy want.

[channarox]

[Horiyoshi III]

oh ic, dun know much abt plants...

what kind of plants can i put inCabomba and Water Sprite are two common, hardy low light plants.I really suggest tracking them down if you want live plants that explode before the algae does.

[channarox]

as far as i know,
there are two subspecies of annectens.
however,i usually only see one.
a discus tank would look great.
