Huge asian aro & C.maculata

[Euge]

Hey,


I took some pics of some fish when i was in HK. Didn't have my actualy digital camera so excuse the phone pics.

There is this shop that I use to go buy thats close to where all my LFS are. The owner has a 500g tank in the front and its got 5 or 6 HUGE asian aros. First time i saw them was maybe when i was 7 years old and i'm 22 now. My dad has been keeping fish for 30+ years and he says those aros have been in the tank for about 20 years. ANyways to the pics

Here he is. BAD MOFO

another shot

The aros must be at least 2 and a half feet. if not bigger. Can't really tell from those pics..

Anyways i went to the supermarket with my mum and i was in the seafood section and what do they have. A tank FULL of channa maculata:

They were about a foot and a half long. Here is another tank of them

As iw as looking at them i noticed one was different looking. I'm pretty sure its a c. aurti but i'm not 100% maybe someone can confirm? Its the fish at the top left of the picture:

Couple more shots. These were taken outside a chinese restraunt. These guys were HUGE, just pushing about 2 and a half feet.:

thats all for now

You're making me jealous with all these pics of sweet illegals. Looks like a cool shop though.
