my 1st dwarf gachua~
wild caught from waterfall in terengganu.
date: 25 sept 2010
size~ it grows from 5cm to 11cm now...
i giv it tetrabits, shrimp as treat once in a while. but it will eats EVERYTHING!!
small fish, bloodworm, insects, meats, & including its brother T.T.... it attacks anything that move over d water surface, bitten my fingers numerous times by 'flying' out of d surface more than 10cm high~~~ but it was fun, feeding it out of hand
This is the habitat:
amazing to found it around d area~ but it stays near river bank with slow flow...
SUPER TOUGH to get these pictures.... it jz wont stop moving....
i love the metallic-shinning colour. but it's only visible under bright lights.
it has 2 line of orange colouration near d upper lips extending till d upper part of d eyes. all d fins margin has orange to white colouration.
It almost die once after jumping out from d tank for quite a long period of time.
when discovered, d fins were dried up and broken~~~ took some time for it to recover though. so d tank is now secure with cover.
when i pass by d tank, it will beg for food even by jumping out hitting the cover to make noise.
i notice tat at night it will burrow into d soil to sleep. i disturbed it with a stick and guess wat, it swept d stick hardly and burrow back into d soil again....
