Blackwater rivers can be found almost anywhere in Borneo. The water is soft & acidic. The colour of the water looks like tea or coffee. This is caused by the decaying vegatation in the water results in the leaching of tannins from the vegetation, resulting in transparent & acidic water.

What a heaven, tons of bog wood, rocks, fishes, and crypts (maybe).
Really nice. Like the mysterious effect.
Thanks all for viewing...
