Tg Malim trip

[dom]

I was heading to Tg Malim on 7am yesterday morning. Since it is Malaysia Independent day and traffic was very smooth. I was promised to the person not to tell the location. So, just some pictures to share.

Found lot of fishes...betta..barbs, rasbora...etc. Plants like below..

Found this plant growing half emersed and totally emersed. With nice white color flower. Didn't take any.

Can i join next trip? :cool:

Hi Dominic,
thanks for these nice pictures! It seems as if you had a nice day. Did you take pictures of the bettas, too? I would like to see them.
The Baclaya species is maybe Barclaya motleyi but I'm not sure. I can't help you with the opther plants because I would have to observe them myself and I would need the right literature to determ them. Both isn't possible for me.

Best regards

Robert

Hi Chamelion,
Please ask for the permission from your gf first. Remember the first time you came to collect the java moss? I saw yr gf's face black like a charcoal. :joking:

Hi Robert,
There are not much picture i took. Due to too busy to jump in and out from the stream and wet all the time. I will try to shoot the picture of the betta if they are able to stay and not swim for a minute. Otherwise, it is hard to snap their picture.
