don't think I'm going to go there for another fishing trip cos of the result we got the last time i went there with my friend who drove the "team" there, good luck on your finding:smile:

nepnut, don't think that place is near any PB spot, it's newly cleared area with a few natural swamp, road still not open(blocked by some object) that last time i went there(some how i manage to get the car to "jump" over the barrier), asked a few fishing fella there, they said only local fish and common alien-tilapia there:laugh:

Ohh... ok. There's so many swamps and ex mining pond there it's not even funny.... *biggrin2*

Re: Wild Gracilis species in menglembu, Perak
 

hehe, true, lot of ex mining pool there, but I'm still looking for a spot with PB for almost 5 years without any result*biggrin2*

Ok, this is getting off topic (talking to myself) *biggrin2**biggrin2**biggrin2*

Go to Air kuning bird sancturay side (if road not cut off) or the oil plam plantation side.

This is what I used to catch there once upon a time over there... :shy:

Re: Wild Gracilis species in menglembu, Perak
 

Boon,
This is what commonly known as "Emporer Fish" or " Butterfly peacock" in aquarium trade. It's scientific name is Cichla ocellaris and it originated from South America. It's was introduced to Malaysia in the early 80s and it's been spreading along kinta valley, Selangor or any ex-mining ponds. Good or bad for the future, only time will tell...
