Do they feed on algae? Will they eat up the algae in a fish pond if we introduce them to it?
Yes they feed on algae, but are not a solution if you have heavy algae blooms.
many times we catch these fish from our native place Ranny.
Do you know any other names of this fish? Have you ever heard a name like
” POONTHI ” ?
This species is not kallemutti, on our area this one known as മെഴുപരൽ, its very tasty.
Kallemutti is anabas
Hey guys, I met something that beats me, I can really use a helping hand here, “you are such a stone sucker”, what does that mean? Thanks.
Just like the fish, you cling to something vigorously. It can be some object, an idea or anything which you hold dear.
Hmmm… reminds my river days of my childhood 🙂
Yes, for me too! We try not to miss a chance to jump into the rivers when we visit our native. Especially with the kid, we want him to relish and go through the wonderful, nature-filled life we all had a few decades before.
wow! well researched!
🙂 these fishes are present in most of the rivers along the western ghats.
