Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

What a nice place! I guess what you saw is Rasbora. Not Tetra. Because they are from South America and Africa.

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

Wow...Cway, that are very interesting photos you got there. I bet you had a good time there, nothing beat seeing natures first hand. Did you see any neps along the way? If you do pls share some photos ya.

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

Thank for sharing.

I may plan to visit on next year, this year schedule was full....

:wub::wub::wub:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

lim, saw a lot of rabrosa, betta pugnax, shrimp, halfbeak(pikehead?), particularly one that is in orangy red color, very interesting since the behaviour is more like betta than it's kind, also lot of crayfish/shrimp, did not venture into the black water spot since I didn't bring any net with me

tekor, no nep spotted lah, else will stay there for one day to tapao pictures oredi

if wanna visit, got to make it fast, the forest is clearing for development, the water fall with crystal clear water that allow people to see through the bottom will be gone in no time...need to bear the risk of trespassing to reach the water fall, about 2 hours jungle trekking to reach there:smile:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

What fish in orange colour? Halfbeak or Rasbora?

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

halfbeak, only saw one, stay near the bank, when I attempt to catch it, it start curving like betta, all others will only swim straight and fly off when I am near them

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

Nice trip and nice pics... no nep meh?? *biggrin2*

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

enter at 9am morning, when I'm out of the place, it's 5pm plus, not a single nep spotted:tongue:, but I do know n. gracilis spot in cyberjaya, in a park, lot of them

It could be Luciocephalus pulcher. Next time, you have to take some photos of the fish there.

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

orite:smile:, maybe just tapao one or two and send to u for id:laugh:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

Xiwei,
I am staying nearby too. Let me know if you going in again, not dare to go in alone.:smile: Are you staying nearby? Saw some construction work, too bad.....not sure are they going to start something:mad:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

wanted to enter again, but dunno when I am free to do so again, this weekend I have class...so not planning to risk going in since it is not a public holiday, there is a chance of being kick out by rangers as told by my friend who guided me in this time, however, there might be a short cut to enter that place if you know the entrance from saujana puchong, the road is all paved with sand and stone, spare us the time of going up hill and down hill in the bushes:smile:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

Ya, I am stayed at Puchong, I am not sure which entrance u are talking about.

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

Man...i stay in malaysia but never see lowland neps like gracilis mirabilis before =="....

ANyway nice pics....love that clear water....

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

IC, no wonder you go so far.
My entrance is near to the water fall, I heard not very far, but have not try yet.
I didn't know that it can link to Bandar Puteri.:confused::1thumbup:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

oic, then should try again this weekend, got a few entrance and exit, so far I know one from saujana, one near bandar puteri that I enter and one in bandar kinrara 6 that has closed for a year or two:smile:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

An epic fail today...which leads to N. Gracilis heaven, saw lot of extraordinary variance of this common species including hot lips, red wings, red leaves, maroon, brown/black speckle and so on, it's just amazing to know the other side of the jungle does have nepenthes, special thanks to Weeps:1thumbup:

A few photos:

Sad to see nearby where sign of development has begun...but this place will be safe for at least another few years

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

ya, hopefully not gone in no time...nice shot, now can see the difference between a phone cam and a cam:1thumbup:

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

im sure it'll get protected especially when ppl saw those Nepenthes grow nicely there.

Re: Air Hitam "Reserve" forest trip 16-9-2010

that's a red wing, there are variety like hot lips, red wings and so on around that area, was totally surprise by the different patterns of gracilis at that area too, just a stretch of less than 1km, but found all kind of them there
