Collecting fish in northern Selangor

May 21, 2005. It was a cloudy morning. I joined Lim, Foo & Simon to go to northern Selangor to collect some wild Betta & others blackwater fish. 

 

 

A blackwater swamp near Tangjong Malim in northern Selangor.

 

My first catch : Chocolate gourami (Sphaerichthys osphromenoides)

 

 

Lim & I spotted a fish cage. The bait is the fruits of oil palm. We saw 3 adult Belontia hasselti trapped in the cage.

 

One of the fish inside the cage : Belontia hasselti.

Foo is investigating something he found near the swamp.
