yes, i m from Sri lanka. i found it in a stream though

ah right, but in the previous tank (outside) i kept with my silver dollars and 2 wood catfish i used very less O2 supply, and i didnt see any health issue, is it because they are relatively hardy fish. (i did do regular water changes) its supplemental hm that makes sense yes lol, just wanted...
