Quest for Channa Marulioides LFS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I've spoken to another lfs, now something new to me, he told me the rarest bunga is call "for mei" means fire tail, instead of white dot the fish has very bright red dot covering the entire dorsal, tail and anal fin. Any idea? dun say see b4, I've never even heard such thing b4.

coming back to this saturday meeting, the puchong guy claims the wild bunga has white dot at the 3 unpaired fins and connecting flower, does this sound more like thai bunga? or does malaysian variety shows the same trait?
 
skareb : never heard anything about fire tail..sounds interesting. if u could get any pics of d two stated species all of us will be greatly appreciated. might be a new species or spec from neighbouring countries. someone did told me there's another type of maruloides from wild (very rare) with red colour flowers !! but until now i have not seen one. i'm dying to get hold one these specimen

I'm trying to find out more too about the fire tail. About our local toman, is it rite to say theres a sub cat:

1: they call Kuang the least beautiful bunga
2: yellow belly, individual flower (no white spot on fins)
3: Red eye, yellow belly, connecting flower, white spot on fins n body.
4: and the latest Fire tail, red spotted.
 
previously i was informed there're 2 types :

1. yellow base with red eyes
2. black base

interesting should there're a few sub-cat

if you take note some are white spotted and some are without
 
Update, the guy came back from trengganu, and caught nothing, all the fish was drown. Apparently I got to understand is he ask the local Asli to catch those bunga and house them in a cage by the swamp, and the place had a massive flood and 20+ bunga was drown.

He says he will be making another trip there next week. So another 7 days to go.
 
actually I've no idea how long I've to wait so got myself a micro yesterday:banhim:

RM3 for a 3" micropeltes, RM1 = 1":ROFL:
 
Kuang is other name of Toman Bunga, Channa Marulioides.
My Uncle and parents all call the Channa Marulioides as Kuang.
