Khoilsha

Colisa fasciatus

Description:

Small silver coloured fish with turquoise diagonal bands across body. A Gourami.

Habitat:

Just where the planned township ends are many ponds. I brought it home allowed it to swim in a glass bowl but that did not photograph well. (2nd photo) It must have been hurt when the pond was dredged because it died soon afterwards.

Notes:

In an aquarium the colours look very nice. http://en.bdfish.org/2010/02/giant-goura... Syn. Trichogaster.
