Peat Swamp Trip in Johor

[reiner09]

[Jon-san]

Wah! Think I have to make a trip soon. But first, have to settle my house moving.... *sigh*

I got this on the edge and there are some underwater. The water was too dark to see if there is any plants growing proper underneath it (I doubt plants can survive in such dark waters anyway, there is barely any sunlight hitting the soil.)

Actually, this plant looks a lot like those planted with Bonsais
Try to cultivate and see if that works !

What you mean planted with bonsai? I got some back, trying to see if it'll grow...

Nope, I think can bring in about 20-30 fish each time. Read it somewhere in the .gov sites.

I've seen my mom plant bonsai and the moss are used to cover the soil part so as to keep the soil moist. It looks similar to what you have.... not sure if its the same... LOL.
I've also seen them in Cameron Highlands near waterfalls or near watersource at vegetable plantation.

Out of topic here. But I saw some fishes in the big long kang at Yishun / Khatib. Aroung 4inch +/- . It has a red tail and the rest is rather dark. Anyone has any idea what fish it is?

[blurless]

You probably need to net them and get a photo? Haha...4" with red tail...got no idea man.

Hi there , I was just wondering if it would be possible for me to tag along during one of your Betta collecting trips.

I have recently developed an interest in wild Bettas and would love a chance to see them in the wild.

Cheers,
Paul

I have a feeling that it could be a species of ciclid. I have seen before from the window of my sister-in-law's place overlooking a huge monsoon drain. Its a pair of fish... almost black with red tips at the end of the tail.

Hey Bros & Sis, sorry for not updating cause I've been rather busy with work these few days... I got some problem with my camera so after I get it fix I'll post the pictures of my latest trip.

I couldn't net them because I had no idea how to get down the drain. But I took a video but its not that good quality though.

There were many of them in the whole stretch of the drain.

[reiner09]

aha too small la ,can't really see .. use fishing rod fish them up le..

[ranchu]

I think that the floating plant that you found is mayaca fluviatilis, not too sure about the spelling.

Can't really see clearly mate but they could be Beardless Barb (Cyclocheilichthys apogon) or Tinfoil Barb (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii)... I'm just making a wild guess since these fishes are also found in canals and streams in Singapore. It won't be that easy to net them too... barbs are quite fast fishes. You may need an extra pair of hands to net them.

Just want to update this thread, that the peat swamp royss78 discovered at the beginning of this thread is gone.

I went there last weekend hoping to net some fish, only to see a condo development in its place. Kind of made me sad to see urbanization destroying the local wildlife...

On the other hand, are Blue Panchax available for sale in SG or JB?

[newlife]

This is interesting...
Too bad Singapore have limited rural area for such interesting events...
