PFK Fishnews: 30 new fish among Borneo discoveries
Thirty new fish species are among this year's new discoveries from the island of Borneo.
The new fish species, which have been exclusively covered by Practical Fishkeeping over the past year or more, include the discovery of two of the world's smallest fish species, six fighting fish and a number of catfishes and loaches.
Stuart Chapman, the International Coordinator of the Heart of Borneo programme, said: "These discoveries reaffirm Borneo's position as one of the most important centres of biodiversity in the world. The remote and inaccessible forests in the Heart of Borneo are one of the world's final frontiers for science and many undiscovered species are still waiting to be found there."
