Journey to west coast of Peninsular Malaysia

Date: December 21 to 24, 2006

This is another great journey to search & photograph (& collecting) some rare & beautiful aquatic flora & fauna in Peninsular Malaysia. And this is the last fishing trip in year 2006.

In this trip :

1) I found Paedocypris sp. in the peat swamp of Selangor!!!! This is one of the smallest fishes in the world!!!

2) I was lucky to visit some Cryptocoryne sites in Selangor area where the water level is not so high (no flooding in Selangor). One species is most probably a new species & another species is unidentified.

3) I managed to find some highland species of pitcher plants which I never seen before in the summit area of Gunung Ulu Kali.
