X'mas Betta

Field Trip 25 Dec 2007

Looking for Tomi's habitat. Came across this stream and a 30mins scooping around the stream yielded 4 snakehead, channa gachua and 4 pugnax. One of the pugnax was mouthbrooding and release about 3 fries whilst in the container. Release back 2 juveniles pugnax. One of the channa gachua only have a left pectorial fin but apparently a healthy fish. Not handicapped by a fin short.

The female

The mouthbrooding pugnax released a few fries in its new tank and the rest on the next day. There must be slightly over a hundred fries. These will be release back to the wild upon reaching 1 inch.



There were many residents monkeys that move freely along the road, no fear of humans.
