My hubby had to use fish food to lure these fishes up to the surface of the water in the pool @ Pasir Ris park.
It could be quite a challenge as the fishes were all quite shy & he had many "NG" photographs too!
The first candidate to be featured here in this thread is a 6 inches cichlid who resembled an edible fish known as the Tilapia which is typically sold in supermarkets here in Singapore such as NTUC fairprice.
It's a fish that is supposedly good for those with poor liver health (and skin) & when taken on the long run, there are no side effects.
However, we are not sure if this 6-inch cichlid was a tilapia.
One thing for sure is that it's really camera shy.
This is a last shot of the 6 inch cichlid gobbling up his food in a swift finishing stroke before he darts deep down into the pool, going into hiding again.
Swordtail fishes are my hubby's favourites becox he had plenty of them in the pool during his kampong days as a kid.
The photographs below shows swordtail fishes in the pool @ pasir ris park, swirling around in their red scaly cloak & sword-like tail.
We had managed to take a few shots of them coming up to the water surface with plenty of NG photographs :
A close-up shot of swordtail fishes meandering & engaged in a "dance" with one another in the pool:
We discovered quite a number of tadpoles at the sides of the pool. Since they were jetblack in colour, these are babies of a toad.
And perhaps food for the larger fishes too???
