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.

Tanning Marulioides

Another way you can bloom the flower of your marulioides is with the tanning technique. First lets understand a little bit about the flower. The flower is actually a dead pixel, marulioides are very unique fish, they possessed the ability to change color at will like a chameleon. But when the flower is formed that scale is spoiled and no longer changes color, it cannot get darker or lighter.

As mentioned many times marulioides caught in river or big water always shows minimal flower, maru caught in dead water like peat swamp shows maximum flowers. Maru would need the color changing ability to survive, they can change color to hunt and to escape from predators.

Meanwhile maru living in black dead water swamp do not need the color changing ability as much or maybe the low PH somehow destroy the color changing ability and the result will be plentiful of flowers or plenty of spoiled scale.

I've done experiment on maru living in fast cycled tank and they lose the flowers or in another …

Filtration Part 3

Lets take a look at the configuration of filter media. Over the years my preferred method is go sponge-less at the inflow. Many people who had seen my sump tank is not convinced it will work. but this has been done for more than 6 years. The reason I go sponge-less is because my inhabitant are most time monsters with very bad eating habits. Debris will be flying everywhere and if they are filtered at the sponge, they will rot there. So to over come this I let the debris go directly into my sump tank, in my sump tank I've a section for live fish and ghost shrimp. These will be my cleaner crew. At the end of the section I do keep a flat sponge to filtered out rubbish leaving the sump tank and food material caught there will be minimal.


At the first compartment I've added K-1 since last year. How good is K-1? I'm running spongeless and my cleaning crew used to be all fatty. Since I've added K-1 they will crushed everything to bits and pieces and now I've to resort to …

Kangkung (Water Spinach)

Kangkung for yr sump tank and why haven't I thought of that before? They're like indestructible and you don't even need substrate.

In 1 days time they grow like 7", with this speed they are a Nitrate monster muncher.



I did not even plant this into the substrate
