Some of these were taken last year, i still have most of the specimens though.
Badis sp. 'assam', I believe its still under description?
Taken in the photo tank as a clinical shot.
Same fish in the tank, water was supremely leached with tannins.
A goby i picked up from galiff, not sure of the ID. Seems to do ok in freshwater, though looks to be a brackish species. Thoughts?
Same specimen
Young Channa marulius, this guy has very nice patterns, though i have no idea what to do with him after he outgrows my setups.
And last but never the least, the good old Channa aurantimaculata
More randoms coming soon. |

Ben, I don't have the auranti with me anymore, gave him off to a friend when i needed the space. When i had him last he was close to 13" or a bit more, kept him in a 4 footer.
Thanks Karthick, unfortunately no, haven't had the pleasure of collecting that particular species.
Jibran, will keep that in mind whenever i get hold of a diplogramma. Have been tempted many times but space constraints have always stopped me.
Couple more fish -
Horadandia atukorali. Shooting these tiny things in a tank with plants is back breaking, so plopped one in the photo tank.
Chaca chaca. Largest specimen i had. close to 7". Trained it to eat literally anything, including dry food. :D

Beautiful pictures.
I second Jibran. Can you please elaborate on feeding Chaca chaca dry food? Those fishes are in my wish list:)
Regards,
Nayak. |

Sorry for the late reply guys,
Lawrence, yes that's right, we're talking about Channa diplogramma.
And no, i'm not sure what the goby is, still awaiting some inputs.
Hrishi, the marulius is about 5-6".
Sumit, Andy, Hayath and Gokul - many thanks. :)
Vyas, what do you think about the goby?
Nayak and Jibran, there's not much to elaborate on really, the largest Chaca I'd had for more than a a year before i got some more smaller specimens, used to keep them all together in a 30" tank with 12" or so of water.
The rest of the Chaca would strictly eat feeders and tubifex after the lights were out, but the largest specimen, mainly because of the time i had it, would readily eat whenever fed.
I used to generally drop tubifex near its mouth, so one day i dropped a few bits of tetrabits or something to see if it would eat, and it did. Reacted to the movement of the food i guess.
It continued to always do so. |
