    A new species of Cryptocoryne is found by a researcher from Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Isa in northern Sarawak. It is called Cryptocoryne zaidiana, named after one of the Sarawak Governors.

    The photo below was taken by me; a patch of Crypt. zaidiana is cultivated by Isa:

    I like!!! I want!!!!! Drool! Drool!!!

    But seriously, I won't be surprised if there are more undiscovered species in Borneo. That place is just a gold mine!

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
