Cyber Jaya.

[dom]

Cyber jaya was a place full with oil palm plantation. Was full of streams and lakes. But the govr and private sector trying to develop this place into a cyber world. Lot of plantation and streams replacing by highway and buildings.

I was had lunch with one of the member. She was asking me about the stream where i went a year plus ago in Cyber Jaya. So, we made a decision to go there n have a look after lunch.

Unfortunately the entrance to the lake and stream area was blocked. (Yes. that place full of lakes big or small around 20-30 of them. Streams link up with all the lakes.) I asked the security guard for permission said wanna have a look of the lake and able to go in till the construction area.

Just found a big lakes and 2 small ponds just after the entrance. Get a net which i standby inside my car all the time. Caught 3 3-4inch "Soon Hot" (Pronounce in Cantonese) Got no much luck there due to the water pollution.

So found a small human made stream which link to the big lake just opposite the entrance. Try my luck again and caught few esomus metallicus and betta imbellis.

Here is the pic...kinda hard to get the Betta imbellis picture. coz they hiding under the mosses. Currently in my office tank...

Esomus Metallicus. Body still with the mud...

At the first glance of the title, thought that you are posting something concerning internet.

Look like Soon Hock will take Esomus Metallicus as their meal. :)

Yes. But I heard marble goby very lazy fish. Saw my Esomus still have the same amount there. None of them eaten. :D

[NanoDave]

I kept marble goby before.. they are nocturnal and have a big appetite!

They like to keep very still so as to ambush prey... not lazy! :) :)

This is the place which i wish to enter. But the security guard said too dangerous and don't allow me to go in. From this gate, gonna walk 20-30 minutes. And you will reach a place full of streams n ponds on both left n right hand side.

This one look familiar, it is called qwa shuan qi (cross mountain qi) in Hokkien, as the name implies, they are very good jumper. I used to have one when I was very young, one night, it decided to cross mountain and ended dried up on the floor.

we called this ikan puyu. used to catch this down the drain during good old days (haiii....) now can find this in jalan pasar. they say can halau bad luck. yes, it's true, they can claw on land with their gills and they got sharp spikes on their gills and back too.

and they are karnivors too ... so don't keep with smaller fishes... :)
