Only 3 Eels. Now the biggest of them has grown well and successfully swallowed the other two. Sometimes shows up brilliant red, sometimes brown.

Oh!! Atleast one survived.. would like to see how it grows up :-) It had brilliant coloration even when stressed.

I see another signature changing campaign has started. I should keep me mouth shut on trips.  |

Let me kick start the id'ying.
Hyporhamphus limbatus
Reason for id:
1) Slender lower jaw
2) Fins hyaline
Juvenile of the family Mugilidae
Reason for id:
1) Shape of the head
2) Position of the second dorsal fin
Aplocheilus parvus
Reason:
1) What else can it be??? Maybe A. blockii
Puntius sophore
Reason for id
1) Presence of both dorsal fin spot and caudal peduncle spot.
2) Dorsal fin spot not in the angle (vs in angle for P.chola)
Mystus gulio
Reason for id:
1) No visible marking on the body
2) I can see nasal barbels
3) Small adipose fin base
Hyporhamphus xanthopterus
Reason for id:
1) Thicker lower jaw
2) Yellow fins
Fish on top: Could be Arius sp.
Reason : I cant see nasal barbels
Fish below: Mystus vittatus
Reason: Clear lateral stripes on the body and presence of nasal barbels |

Great thread. Wonderful write up. Why do you have to post pics of the food? Too tempting.  |

Thanks for the ID'S Marcus. I think both the fish in the last pic are Mystus. I counted the barbels on most of the fish in that tank and they all seem to have 4 pairs.
Growing quite well on live food.
The alleged Arius does not look like an Arius after all. Does have 4 pairs of barbels.
Any opinions??? |
