Caught 4 of these .... Eartheater Cichlid. Hope I'm right. And its now in my fish tank .....





They'rel really beautiful!

Caught 2 Peacock Bass too ... but they died as soon as it gets into my tank.

Thought they are known to have tough characters?

There are many factors affecting the sudden death of the peacocks. It might be shock during transportation, handling and etc.

[airman]

water condition and the change in temperature will kill them. it happen to my freshwater and marine fishes that i keep.

[desleyhan]

Alamak they all died ... as my tank is not big enough. The best part - my maid cooked it!!

[Peace]

I would also say the fish suffer trauma during transportation. Did you put it in a big enough container and air pump? So how did those fishes taste?

All fish can be eaten de lah ... just weather you want to eat, dare to eat or not.

I used to think that catfish as in tor sat and ah seng are "non edible" category fishes.
And the amazing kukut fish too.

Then one day over casual chat with a friend ... we were "persuaded" into actually cooked an ah seng
Yes we did ... an ah seng.
Removed the head n tail ... a almost 2kg fish reduced to few slices.
And the funny part ... I sit n waited for Simon to take his first bite of the fried ah seng.
I only remembered we fought for the last piece. lol !
It was amazingly delicious ... like our friend told us ... taste like tenggirri.

Just because others do not eat doesn't mean the fish is not edible de leh.

Way to go desley ... I ish still no dare to eat that cute fish unless like domvonn said ...
Blindfold me !
