Chinese trade name for fishes can be very interesting... 747 - Page 3

**amiidae** · 21-12-2008, 12:21 PM

ya, they usually don't do too well in long hour of shipping and transportation. they tend to get too stress and die after awhile for not feeding. I must say this batch is rather stable.

I just did a check and realised that they are actually under "High vulnerability"

Anyway.. here is another interesting shot

Just an update esp for those who got this fish too..

My fish has started to take cut MP.

And for those who don't know or got mixed up with other cat like Juru, TSN and the like ... FYI, this fish is quite a rare import that LFS don't stock very often

Just some update. pretty slow growth rate.

Pix taken at her favorite spot - parked right in front of the powerhead outlet.

Ahh.. one of my favourite species.
How large is the B. platynemum now? Very nice.

I regret having to trade mine in for a mbu puffer.

This fellow is abt 9 to 10inches at the moment.
