Jexnell Jexnell found this on youtube, Cartimar Pet Center in Metro Manila. It's an old video but it's supposedly still there. Your nobya might think twice if she sees the price of those fish and it'd make for a nice day out for you both. Hitting Metro for some fish spying and lunch.
Only one problem, I am in Davao, so it's a plane ride or 47 hours on a bus away.

Sorry I forgot there are areas people have to take flights to get to in the Phillipines and I got you confused with my Uncle, whose currently in Manilla.

Save some cash and in a few months turn it into a romantic getaway.
If she hadnt been taken out to dinner until she encountered your suave ways imagine how happy she would be with a weekend away (with a few hours in the fish shop of course)🥰

Are there any native fish in the Philippines you could keep? Just realized I haven’t heard of any fish from that area in the hobby.

There are quite a few actually. Snakehead, Maya Maya, are a couple images-4.jpeg
This is a Maya Maya, a salt water fish, but commonly found in fresh water to feed. So could go slightly salt, brackish and keep it.

Looks like a type of grouper or a snapper.

I just have not really found anything flashy enough to keep in a tank beside the snakeheads and the Maya Maya. But it all will depend on tank size really as to what I keep.
