cool! thats really good of you to rescue them! sadly it never dries up enough in england for this sorta stuff! and no exciting fish in our rivers!

Thanks! It doesn't dry up in England? Not even once? Wow

New resident rescued from birds this time! Got him yesterday but I forgot to upload a pic of him.

I have no idea what it is. At first I thought it was some sort of tilapia, but now I'm not so sure. I put him in my third rescue tank (wow right?

) since he is very aggressive.

Strangely, the water clouded up after a few minutes of him being in the tank.

Thats a Thai Silk Flowerhorn - I think anyway.... thats incredible it was just out there in the wild.... they are a man made fish but I suppose could escape a farm? Or its been released?

A Flowerhorn!?!?!?! Strange that he'd end up in a swamp!

There are lots of fish stores nearby but I can't imagine the staff just throwing them away.

They aren't "native" to the Philippines but the can be found naturally here. I've been eating some since I was a kid.

I would Imagine over there as there are plenty of fish farms, with fishing breeding in lakes etc, birds quite easliy pick them off one by one, some will escape in flight, seen it happen where birds catch fish and fly with them only to loose grip a short while after, what with that and floods, then theres people dumping unwanted fish
