thanks to ur monster n exotic collections.
i just walk pass n suddenly saw this long long fish. at 1st i thought it was an aba aba. but realize that its a glass knife. so...asked for price n bagged it home. thanks. yes. VERY DEEP N SERIOUS fish poison flowing in me. someone say me last night when i bagged this fish. "i thought u already say last fish liao. no more fish can b added in ur tank?". my reply was "since july i already say last fish till now.". seems like i can never b cured of this poison. |

Healthy and good looking specimen.
Not an easy fish to maintain. |
