I am feeding them with crushed Azoo flowerhorn pellets.(I had a flowerhorn earlier) Anything else I can feed them?
|
Any good quality sinking pellets should be fine for them. |

Trevor sir, would love to see some snaps of barilius and pangio sp.
Was wondering why most of the members I called over the weekend were not available. Had no clue of the trip. |

Man, I would have come if you guys would have given us the faintest of hint regarding the magnitude of this trip.  Magnitude in variety and illusive nature of fishes seen and caught, in the experience that we could have learned from. Enormous loss for someone like me.  |

Dev,
It wasn't intended to be a secret trip or something. If I need to say the other side of it, right now im limping with a heavy duty sprain, and you already would have seen a bleeding-legged Rahul, and i had more than 6 bloodsuckin leaches all over my foot, we had to hike for kilometers upstream that too across flowing waters and most of the places we would hike and find nothing expect water and most of the time far far away from food and not to mention the hot humid sun which was draining the last drops of energy. Also it was not planned and infact until we reached there we didn't even have our accomodation confirmed. We just did not want to risk all these with new comers. |

True. I had given these fine able bodied men a small ration of only dry fruits and salted lime water.
