Kuching, 28 June - 1 July 2007

Short trip to look for betta taeniata. Got a local there selling the betta Rubra and many wild bettas. First thing was to get hold of a rented car. RM90 a day. Nothing to complaint for a car that already drove 300k plus kilometre.

Met this local guy(Haji Badaruddin) and we followed them for a betta field trip collecting crypte off Serian, a small town call Balai Ringin. It is said to have Brownorum but we didn't catch any. We proceed to this place in Serian to collect Betta Taeniata up a waterfall! Surprising to have a betta in this part of the waterfall which I estimate at least 500m from ground level. We had to climb a foothill which obviously were use by the locals before.

Got about 3 pieces of Betta Taeniata,
