Wild Singapore Part 4

Field Trip 8 Nov 2007

Unplanned trip. Actually scouting around for possible Betta Tomi habitat. Met John and his friend Matthew catching fish at a known Pugnax habitat. They have got couple of gobies and big channa gachua. Caught 4 pugnax for John, 3 males and a female. One of the male was mouthbrooding. Unfortunately the biotope was a little disturbed before the picture was taken. The biotope was formed from water seepage from the nearby reservoir through underground piping. A stream must have been there originally and now a service road actually run across this place.



Continuing the wild search, came across this stream that is wild and seems untouch. Rasbora, barbs are a common inhabitant. There's plenty of wild guppy. Collected a few for my tank. Some of the flora around the stream. Search still goes on for Tomi habitat
