Ah yes. We've lost much of our original ecosystems, but we do still have plenty of biodiversity that's worth protecting, and things are improving in some areas.

Small is beautiful.
We'll lose even more even if the authorities do not act to protect what is left.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
even for freshwater fishes in singapore, we have already lost most of the wild fishes originally in singapore. tiger barbs, rasboras , wild bettas now are nearly impossible to find in the wild except for a few small places whereby game fishes such as peacock bass,snakeheads etc are not introduced....it seems to me(its my own personal opinion, no need to get debatey about it) that our country does not really conserve and protect the original inhabitats in the wild such as small fishes etc but instead conserve and protect introduced livestock that are so called "better"...
Too much of a fish SIAO to quit fish keeping/fishing..
Not suprising, Economy is the only thing in their mind. Everything else is secondary. Conservation is even probably an obstruction in their plans for economy growth.
Taking that literally though, it is true even with people. Immigrants are more sheltered and preferred here.
Going into the political zone here. In any case, supporting societies like the NSS is the way forward. I hope that they will keep places like Tanjung Chek Jawa as it is. I went there once and seeing the mudskippers and fiddlers doing what they do best was an interesting and an eye-opening experience.

Singapore is too small for economy to grow without disturbing the nature. Maybe gahmen think that the species is not realy unique to Singapore. If it lost here, it will still be exist in Malaysia or Indonesia.
haha if they like that think then gone case already.. cause all fishes have in other countries also... actually i believe that what most of us like is to preserve the original species so that our kampong days(olden generation not mine lol..) those fishes still remain.. imagine if next time we bring our kids to field trips and all they see are toman, peacock basses,and other non native fishes... how do we really explain to them what happen to the original inhabitants or the reservoir,longkang lol... think that we will be too malu(embarrassed) to even call our reservoirs/streams a habitat for native fishes...

The drain I used to catch guppies and freshwater crabs from as a kid is now long gone. How I wish I could turn back the clock.

only seen tadpoles before in the drain.
I grew up in Hillview estate before they tore it down. During my childhood days I would go hunting for fish and crabs in the drains nearby. Pretty easy to catch those crabs.

Used to catch crabs at Changi area. The small orange Fiddler Crabs were nice. For the other bigger crabs, we used to poke our sticks at a spot near their holes on the ground at an angle. Poking first at a deeper part of their tunnel to prevent it going deeper, then progressively poking in similar fashion higher and higher up the tunnel until the crab is visible near the surface.
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
Haha that's the best method to catch a lot ^^ But too few now a days
Caught anything?
