very nice fishes though...look very peaceful and majestic as they swim in a school...also big eaters I guess...all pui pui

You can keep...but maybe need to upgrade tank after they grow to 1/3 of your tank's length...


Hi all fellow kelah fans...Long time no update...

Here are my kelahs / mahseers:
("Snowflakes" from my first attempt at making gelled blended food...need to blend finer...)

Need help ID this kelah with colorless fins too...thanks.. (26s into the vid)

Wow nice...

No chance to keep as I only have space for a 422 set up and also can't afford more TLC time to the fishes...so better not start something that I am unable to take good care of

Hence, I will stick to just admiring others' aquariums....

Hi guys, interested in keeping a mahseer, they look awesome! But have totally no experience with them at all..
2 fast questions is are they able to comm with monsterfish?
What's their main diet?

They are quite gentle as far as I know, so best to get a few or larger ones as they will be getting a beating from any monster fish...

Diet-wise mine are not choosy, they eat pellets, bananas, veggies, basically any fish food I guess...

Happy mahseer keeping!

Yes, for the two biggest mahseers you see in my tank, I got it from Seaview quite some time ago, and the description written in marker on the tank was "Blue Mahseer" in Chinese, so it most likely it's a Thai blue?

But if you're referring with the light/bright blue smaller mahseer with a black line horizontally across its body, it may be another species.

Actually they all look pretty similar to me, esp. in a black background...can't remember all those scientific names

looks like Neolissochellus stracheyi, thai blue mahseer. can tell by the blue tinges on the fin and the horizontal line across. they're abit taller than the ones i have though, so may be from different locality?

Sure, why not. They are able to comm with monsters but get a bigger size specimen if your monsters are on the big side.
