Description
The species can attain a maximum length of 21.6 cm and a maximum weight of 250 g.[3]
Distribution and habitat
The species is a freshwater fish and occurs in the basins of the Mekong, Chao Phraya and Mae Klong rivers in Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia.[3]
Behavior
In Thailand, this species will gather to breed and spawn in shallow streams, which are tributaries of the Nan River in the north. This phenomenon occurs only two days in early March of every year. The local people call this "Pla Kong" (Thai: ปลากอง; lit: "pile fishes"), a natural phenomenon that occurs rarely.[4]
gollark: ```lua begin_uninstall_process = function() print "Please wait. Generating semiprime number..." local p1 = findprime(math.random(2, 100000)) local p2 = findprime(math.random(2, 100000)) local num = p1 * p2 print("Please find the prime factors of the following number:", num) write "Factor 1: " local f1 = tonumber(read()) write "Factor 2: " local f2 = tonumber(read()) if (f1 == p1 and f2 == p2) or (f2 == p1 and f1 == p2) then term.clear() term.setCursorPos(1, 1) print "Accepted. Moving startup." fs.delete "old-potatOS-startup" fs.move("startup", "old-potatOS-startup") print "Press any key to continue." os.pullEvent "key" os.reboot() else print("Factors", f1, f2, "invalid.", p1, p2, "expected.") end end```This bit is the uninstaller.
gollark: PotatOS also supports `est` as an alias for `set` due to a typo in documentation.
gollark: ```lua process.spawn(function() local signs = {peripheral.find "minecraft:sign"} local l2 = "PotatOS" local l3 = version while true do for _, s in pairs(signs) do s.setSignText("\167k" .. randbytes(16), l2, l3, "\167k" .. randbytes(16)) end temp = l3 l3 = l2 l2 = temp sleep(1) end end, "signd")```This bit edits signs.
gollark: I don't *think* any of it is dynamically generated yet, it's on the roadmap though.
gollark: Also it's at least 1000 lines.
