I just acquired another 2 red kelah fries, these are the normal bodied ones unlike the other short bodied reds i have.
I'm trying to attach their tor genus but it seems like a daunting task for Red Kelahs. Below is what i get searching the web for Tor genus under Red Kelah. Any bros can help with the below physical fish description tor genus? - Tor tambroides - Tor tambra - Tor Tor (confirmation was done by the seller - reference to above pic) Last edited by FishyAmazon; 14-04-2009 at 12:42 AM. |

water change
Hi all....
I have an open pond, home to a few kelahs (reeds, blue and golden 4"-1') .... need advice on how often do i change the water. Is there anyone that can help with the "care guide for Kelah/mahseer)? Thanks... |

the care is as the same you take care other fish - regular WC, feeding and maintaining the filter system. how frequent? depend on your bioload versus your filter capacity.
below are result from fishbase http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/spec...ame=tambroides http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/spec...peciesname=tor http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/spec...me=douronensis |

Kelah's quite easy to take care of, just good water parameters, they take almost anything. I give them frozen peas (soaked) as well. \
Wonderful fishes. |

I had a bad observation today, first of its kind for red kelah fries. I got another 5 pieces of red kelah - normal bodied, 2 days ago, all less than an inch in length - extremely extremely small.
4 perished in less than 2 days in my tank! Strangely, none of the others which was already in the tank show any abnormalities My Conclusion: Kelahs need to be at least an inch or more to have a good survival rate. More so if they are wild caught due to environmental changes leading to stress. |

I'm wondering if this could be the same tor species? Most sites are just referring them to other tor scientistific names discovered by so and so, etc. I've never seen a description from a single source for all the tor genus before. This is getting real deep, i think i'll just rest my search. Last edited by FishyAmazon; 15-04-2009 at 02:00 PM. |
