Or it may be from some experience the local folks have gone through :-)Babysmoocheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12570290857343187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948208523330953652.post-56285746921197239232007-08-06T11:11:25.015-07:002007-08-06T11:11:25.015-07:00Thanks.

They were hardy fishes and grew quite large so we let them go at a pond nearby. My mom kept them to "ward off black magic" or something like that.Plume de Nomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948208523330953652.post-16364463505658600262007-08-07T20:56:00.000-07:002007-08-07T20:56:00.000-07:00i duno there are such belief thobut puyu r delicio...i duno there are such belief tho<br>but puyu r delicious tho heheheIpohchaihttp://ipohchai.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948208523330953652.post-3391066345175467022007-08-10T06:05:13.722-07:002007-08-10T06:05:13.722-07:00when i was young my gardener used to get betuk for...when i was young my gardener used to get betuk for me as pets. He goes to the swamps and padi fields to fish and catches a few betuk for me. I used to rear them in a small plastic aquarium. They could live in dirty water for more than 1 year. Amazing.
