How many types of SP borneo are there?

How many types of sp Borneo exist? they are caught in so many locations and many types are shown. Here I will try to round them up so we can analyse. ABCE possibly the same variant, CD possibly same. E Maybe a tank raise fish or young fish with the bars not or haven't fully sticking together yet.

The characteristic of sp Borneo is black patch near the tail when mature, stout body, short and slim head, the band will stretched all the way to the bottom like full bar. Most of the time the fins are black.

The main problem why ABCE is undetermine is simply because nobody know how does the ABCE baby fish look like lol. I tell you... Its not a joke, even Indonesian cannot answer you this. The below is type D found in central Kalimantan. Only D is identified and recorded from baby to adult.

So to those chasing for sp borneo baby pandai2 lah. Dun buy anything ppl say... Use your eyes and your knowledge given.

For type ABE I'm still working on it. Until baby to adult pictures are found we cant be sure.

I do however suspect they are only 2 variant of the sp Borneo ABCE & D stand alone.

This could be an oddball or a tank raised fish unless more of this patterns are found I would classify them as just oddballs.

Pictures are collected on the internet over a span of few years and unfortunately I\ve lost tract of whom they belong to, if so happened the owner viewed my blog pls leave me a note and I'll gladly credit the picture to your name. Apologized.

Channa Diplogramma

The Fish that started it all. (April 2014) I would like to share a story, the beginning of my fish keeping hobby that eventually got stuck with me from childhood till today. This is about a fish that had been hiding away from me for the past 30 odd years. This was the fish that inspired it all. When I was around 9 yrs old, my dad took us for a holiday trip to Singapore, we visited the Singapore Aquarium if I remember correctly. And in one of the tank on display I could not help but was instantly mesmerized by the blue fish, the body of the fish is painted in shocking blue color. I remembered clearly written on the side Toman - Channa Micropeltes because this was the first time I was introduced to the scientific names of fishes. After returning from the trip my crave for snakehead developed, I got a few snakeheads but never in blue. I asked around but nobody had ever seen or even heard of the blue Toman. I bought micros from fish shop and grow them till adult and to my disappointm...

Marulioides Care Part 1 (Bunga)

I've been reluctant to write this but many had asked me to post how to take care of marulioides for maximum performance. The truth is you need to abused it, hence Marulioides care isn't exactly the correct terms to use. Channa Marulioides is found in most part of malaysia, lakes, pond, streams, rivers, but one thing most fisherman realized are those caught in swamp, I mean really dead stagnant peat swamp. Waters that are near black in color most time the fish had tremendous performance, beautiful colors and a lot of flowers. From this theory many tried replicating the conditions with low ph and so on. I've experiment many ways of keeping marulioides and I can concur to this, Low PH meaning Ph5 and below, I usually keeps mine ard PH4 or maybe lower, because my test kit can only measure till 4 and cant read anything lower. Low PH produce beautiful coloration. As for the bunga, yes everybody wants to know this, there is no tricks, just lots and lots of experiment. It i...

Understanding Indonesian Marulioides Variant

I would like to introduce you to some of the beautiful Channa Marulioides from Indonesia and at the same time clarify the complexity and the confusion as best I can. what is Marsum, Marbor, kalimantan, borneo, sp borneo, No.1 Marsum - Marulioides Sumatera Blue Marulioides not to be confuse with Channa Melanoptera Channa Marulioides Sumatera variant is very similar to the Malaysian variant. There is also another var found there known as Blue Maru which is greyish blue in color. No.2 Marbor - Marulioides Borneo known in Indonesia or Marulioides Kalimantan or Kali by Malaysian and Singaporean. The double line The 999/eee The yy + double line Now Kalimantan is very complex and has many variant. They comes in the 2 line bands form, the 999/eee form, the YY + double line form. But one of the key factors to tell them apart from sumatera, malaysia and thai variant is the middle exposure. The key to ID kalimantan is t...
