My entry =)    

Right you are =)   Its called a Rice Paddy Eel (Monopretus albus). It is a nocturnal fish that feeds on crustaceans, and other invertebrates in rice fields and canals.  What makes it interesting to keep is that it is wild caught =)   And now he's 30 days old in my tank, and still alive and...

Just sharing my Freshwater Eel      

Thanks! I wish I can get more photos of her in my pond

My entry =)    

Yeah. Sometimes its funny when even the new and learning hobbyists  would join the gang up by quoting old wives tale from their fish dealers or what they have read from wikipedia and stating their thoughts as if they have actually experienced them. And oh.. they'll swarm you...    If we are to...

  Well said.. I remember being ganged up on in another site when I said something that contradicted the experience of a popular betta exporter. It wasn't even a debate thread yet

I wouldn't dare...   Anyway, just to share... do you know that a small Neon Tetra actually eats guppy fries? And she can actually gulp more than 10 in a minute? Trust me. I know this by heart as I have seen this with my own eyes... As to your dwarf loach...I wouldn't trust history just yet.   ...

In my country, its commercial name is China Hi-fin

Yup she';s in a big pond now... and she is camera shy.. After 6 months, she has grown to about 9 inches now (guesstimate). She seems healthy and happy but to this date, I haven't seen her eat anything... 

my entry... My Gold Tetra      Verification  

haven't been here for a long time... thanks for the kind words guys.

She's a paddle fish. Ain't she lovely?

My entry =)   Yup she's not the common PET STORE cutie-cutie. Hoping you guys would give a HARDCORE fish like her a fair chance at FOTM.         VERIFICATION:  

Thanks! She's 7 inches long, paddle included. My trusted importer says she eats tubifex and blood worms... Its her 2nd day in my tank. I haven't seen her take anything yet but she seems to enjoy tailing and "sniffing" a feeder livebearer.
