    tiger barbs can also be found here in Singapore.

    I've seen some during bashing through the mandai swamps in army days. But a pity, i was damn shag and tired, half way fire fight, no time to admire. :P

    i used to know this place which has plenty of tiger barbs, but somehow the life kinda died down from there. There used to be lots of snakeheads before also. In evening they will come in to just rest at that area and feed.

    Interesting -- are the Tilapia sp native fishes there?
    Any contamination from Guppies, LuoHan or non-native tortoises in the waters?

    lorba, tiger barbs are not native in Singapore. if you see banded barbs in the forest swamp chances are they are hexazona. tiger barbs are so far known only from suburban canals and reservoirs, and not yet penetrating into the forest streams.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    There should be more interesting things to see there, maybe we can organise a recce team?

    recently went to check out several streams in the central catchment, I am happy to note that no non-native species were found, although amazingly the streams which were all small and close-by exhibited a number of different population combinations. The fishes noted are: Systomus hexazona, Systomus lateristriga, Rasbora elegans, Rasbora einthovenii, Trigonostigma heteromorpha, Aplocheilus panchax, Channa spp., Betta pugnax, Macrobrachium lanchesteri and others I have forgotten…

    Re:

    The S. hexazona is restricted to the peat swamp area of the Central Catchment.... but it doesn't really seem to be pure blackwater (like the swamps in Pahang and Johor) and the fish species mix is both clear and blackwater varieties.

    Choy, you didn't see any pike gouramis (Luciocephalus sp.?) Shame on you.

    nope, probably they didn't want to mess with the Channa spp. anyway the peaty forest stream was quite hard to access because it is completely surrounded by swamp and I really didn't want to trample on more than the necessary crypts.
