I've so many pm from hobbyist asking me how do I groomed my maru with so beautiful flowers. The secret is not in the grooming it is in the fish gene. I would like to share my secret of how to select a champion fish. Since ppl keeps getting conned. This technique will provide you with almost 99% failed safe. No more toman belang.
Bunga can be selected with fingerlings of 3". You just need to know the technique. Take note of the shimmering at the edge of the scales. And that shimmer will eventually turned into bunga or white patches.
You need to hv a good eye sight and patience. Selecting fingerlings usually takes hours and you will soon be a nuisance to the fish store owner.
So the next time someone tries to sell you a grade AAA terengganu but the fish hv no tell tail signs of shimmer, stay 10 feet away.Selecting a fish with many bands is not the right way to get the white patches, You want white patches and not bands.

And there is somthing that i searched alot and couldnt find the answer
What is that cheap marus about 38rm,they called it common maru,but what is common maru?
Do they all become black and white as adults?
And is there any way to send you a picture?
Thanks alot
Yr welcome....common Maru refers to regular marulioides, some will turn out to be very beautiful. Seperating common marulioides will be variants like Terengganu, Kahang, Sumatera Riau, Kalimantan there are a few variants over there.
DeleteVariants are marulioides with specific traits that is identifiable, common marulioides caught in kelantan or pahang is not a variant but just common marulioides.
i thought the sungai perak maru were the common maru due to their cheap price?
